[DarkPhoenix]

Oh my god.

That interview.

 

[koshari]

Good.

Competition from the young and hungry is what we need.

love that we have taken a tall based on some actual footballing form rather than just height potential like Edwards,

Edwards looked ok at the time. A little overstated based on highlights but pretty mobile with good skills.

Those all black boots stand out!

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Quite hilarious that Vic media is accused of bias after listening to this. Good on Taylor for handling it so well and showing his excitement, whilst Kymbo and Rooch mourn.

My god, what a load of tripe. TG did well all things considered.

And given he only needs to dislodge Xerri to get into the ones, it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that he’ll get a game in 2024

He won’t have the endurance for AFL yet. If he got a game, he’d get badly exposed.

You can say what you want about Xerri - but fair play to the big man to get in the top 10 of the 2k.

 

[king of the road]

Just got the chance to look at all the videos. He looks great.
Quick, assertive, skilful, fast… and tall. A wicked combination.

Seems to have game sense from those vids too. Knows when to go long. Used his pace to get extra meters and distance on kicks.

Follows up in the ruck with multiple efforts. Comes across as enthusiastic too.

Great pick.

I think too many forget what a freak Goldy was as an athlete and expect others to be better in other areas but still match his strengths.

Those videos are called "highlights videos" for a reason.

Agreed. We need a blooper reel for each player to provide balance.

Goad.

 

[the big lebowski]

Hey guys.

Paul Curtis Taylor Goad.

 

[Liam Boy]

I think too many forget what a freak Goldy was as an athlete and expect others to be better in other areas but still match his strengths.

It could be 100 or 200 years before North Melbourne has a ruckman better than Todd Goldstein. Unfair expectation to place on anyone.

 

[ferball]

Hey guys.

Paul Curtis Taylor Goad.

Here's a polite golf clap.

 

[Psicosis]

Goady looking stoked . Good of X to take him under his wing.

 

[king of the road]

Those videos are called "highlights videos" for a reason.

Yes. And they show glimpses of the unique attributes he possesses which are worth getting excited about.

But pretty sure there are some vids on here that are all his possessions in games - not just highlights. They look good too.

* those chairs are crap, so many better facilities around with proper recliners. Deck chairs

 

[apollo_creed]

He comes across as very shy. Good trait to have to be honest.

 

[zoomba23]

All gripes and unfriendliness to Essendon aside, there can't have been too many longer name chains at any club in history, surely
