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

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Is totally and completely uninjured.

 

[Twinkletoes]

He's been a shadow of his former self in recent weeks, injury or not, and to my eye appears to lack confidence due to lacking his once much vaunted athleticism and endurance.

 

[shniko11]

Put Goldy away and get him right for next year.

 

[Dugdale2Dwyer]

he's a workhorse

Ha ha, at least racehorses that aren't fit are scratched at the barrier to stop sub standard performances

Lucky he isn't a warhorse, would've been shot by now.

 

[SMaturin]

He's a Toyota Hilux and everyone knows you don't get them serviced or change the oil you drive them until the tyres turn to powder and the horn doesn't work. Then you roll it off a cliff and borrow your Grandma's old Ford Laser until the Toyota washes back onto the beach and it's been turned into a cool Nissan Skyline cos the water was magic like that river in the beer ad.

Moving like a draught horse.

Moving like a draught horse.

On Valium.

We've destroyed him, and in doing so, our entire midfield.

Like the line in that classic 80's rap us golden oldies remember, "Express Yourself", "moving like a tortoise, full of rigamortis".

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Grundy will give him a bath in Friday night

The 1 game we have won since he got injured against Sydney was the Richmond game when he was out and Maj played there

 

[muttley45]

Come on Goldy, team first, would sooner see a fit Maj take the reins, than see you struggle to soldier on under difficulties, courage, undeniable, but best for the team, maybe not so much.

I agree with this . Was thinking of the words to use, and this 'll do

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

Andy Maher saying both knees are giving him grief

 

[Thewlis Dish]

I remember seeing him after the Carlton game (where he hyper-extended his knee) in Coles and he could barely walk. No crutches but a very heavy limp.

I just put it down to normal post-game soreness but he has barely been able to jump since, even with the benefit of two separate weeks off.

 

[Event Horizon]

I'd say he probably needs a cleanup surgery on one or both knees but the doctor's advise is probably that it's safe to play through it and surgery can be done post season.

Given how he's going it may be worth doing now. At least he won't miss any of the preseason.

 

[Horizons_00]

The huge issue here is that all the opposition teams know he's injured now. So they're all up in his face, destroying his confidence game by game.

He got spanked by Trengove all around the ground and now even the media know he's playing injured, so the club can stop lying to the media and their supporters

Put daw/drew in the ruck. At least gives drew a bit of confidence and put goldy into surgery ffs it hurts my eyes seeing how sluggish he is

 

[Thewlis Dish]

 

[tazaa]

He is a liability in the middle.
Drew and Maj to ruck.
Trengove streaming thru the middle with clearance after clearance like Polly Farmer was embarrassing. Trengove people
ffs

 

[Twinkletoes]

Drew and Maj to ruck.

I heard an observer state yesterday that the best we looked on Saturday was during the third quarter when Dish was sent into the middle, removing him from the forward line and giving us something in the centre bounces. There was something to that point.

 

[Viper2Jester]

Can't help but think playing Goldstein when clearly hampered by injury is a massive lose-lose.

Not only him/us getting beaten anyway, he is not getting healthier and Majak not given further experience.

Surely enough is enough and make a decision one way or another.

 

[blackshadow]

he's a workhorse

 

[Roozee]

When Goldy's career is finished he should be mentioned in the same breath amongst the games greatest ruckmen such as Simon Madden, Dean Cox, Peter Moore, Gary Dempsey and Jackson Trengove.

 

[muttley45]

On a couple of occasions, Trengrove was on the end of a Goldy tap and burst out of the centre square for a clearance, nightmare stuff

Yes, I felt sick watching that.
