Past #22: Todd Goldstein - has advised NMFC he will seek opportunity at Essendon in '24 - 316 NM games/156 goals/'15 SBM/'15 AA/most hitouts in lge history

[big_e]

History repeating, literally 100 years, North and Essendon were going to merge, the merger fell through and Essendon ended up taking a couple of our best players

Now they've got Brad Scott, Ben McKay and Goldy

A wonderful example of the law of diminishing returns.

 

[The acurate one]

Right lets be real about this. Imagine missing the finals and bringing in a dude who turns 36 on July 1. You lot would be fuming and furious. As would I be.
This reeks of Brads and his crazy approach to all things footyball. The guy rates himself as one of them intellects. Just as I rate me self as one of them intellectuals.

Let's dissect this, Goldy could do no wrong in Brads eyes. Noble didn't rate him and I feel Ratten wasn't a fan either. Not sure al Clarko is upset he's gone. But alas I don't know.

Magoo is the same am sure both are thinking the Essington bar isn't set high, and them *ers are ripe for the plucking. Couldn't have found two better dudes to do it. Pluck Essington I do mean.

Goldy because he'll be nearly 36 come rd 1 and Magoo cause he's a shitmen.

No sleep will be lost over either and once Goldy retires from Esserdon I think we can sit back and marvel at what was a great career, well up until a couple of years ago. Goldy be cooked, but not as cooked as Brad.

Long live Brad, we maybe s**t and Esserdon not much better, but he will twin tower them *ers without a doubt.

 

[The acurate one]

why? who is joking?

 

[Rockstar6]

Can't stand the fact he is going to be running around in a * jumper but good luck to him. If he wants to play senior footy, Essendon is the right place as he has Draper covered.

 

[Cyber_punk]

Farewell Todd.

It will be interesting to see how he fares, but at 36, I'm not too bothered. That's beyond elderly for an AFL player. We'll manage.

 

[Devington]

I don't really have a deep hatred for Essendon so this doesn't bother me much. It's funny more than anything. Going somewhere where he's no shot at a flag and should be starting behind two young blokes. Only reason I can think of is that they're the only joint offering 2 years, but at the same time one of his demands/wants is senior game time and not being in the VFL so... Yeah, not too sure what to make of it unless essendon think one of the rucks they already have is a complete bust.

 

[Only Forwards]

They seem to be recruiting like they are close to something.

What I’m not sure but something.

I get a feeling Brad likes to be told yes a lot.

I think this is a way of buying that.

A senior voice of agreement.

You're correct that he loves a yes man.

Anyone done an employment check on old mate Joyces recently?

I am surprised Brad hasn’t had a crack at getting JMac across.

[Roo316]

We’ve sent a Trojan horse as far as I’m concerned.

Like us in 2014-15 with recruiting the older guys, Brad thinks they are a few top ups from a flag - except it's a much older guy now.

 

[SonofSamsquanch]

Just for sh!ts and Giggles, what would happen if Boomer Harvey threw his hat into this year's draft? Would Scotts bite?

 

[muttley45]

Did Jon Ralph say one year only for Goldy at * ?

Horses, when in doubt send two. worked for the USA during WW2 against the Japanese, just sayin.

[ferball]

surely we are now your second favourite team? hopefully we can get some of that shiboner spirit hey?

Mate it doesn't come in a vial.

 

[tazaa]

We should recruit Paul Salmon , joke would then be on u

Good bloke the Fish. Played for * and Hawthorn too. Anomaly

 

[Dan]

Atley for Heppell?

 

[leighlee13]

Did Jon Ralph say one year only for Goldy at * ?

Yes. I thought he would choose them because they were offering more than the year Nth were offering.

 

[Cyber_punk]

Yes. I thought he would chose them because they were offering more than the year Nth were offering.

In the exit video Goldy talked about 2024 "and beyond" so either maybe a verbal agreement on a role off field after which Clarko wouldn't guarantee?

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Again *, I have to ask... why?

Just told my brother whose a * supporter, and he literally did a cartoon style threw his hands in the air.

Can't believe Todd made the decision to go there either. Unfathomable.

That has to be the reason because if it's not, why would you leave if we were offering a year? The other reason could be that we wouldn't guarantee he wouldn't play VFL.

 

[koshari]

Liam Anthony for the win.

Can definitely understand Goldy's decision to go to Essendon. They were probably the only club willing to give him a 2 year deal, plus Goldy and Scott were always close.
