I think Goldy might have a hip issue or something on one side of his body.

The way he goes into the ruck contest at centre bounces he seems to protect one side that I noticed on the weekend. He definitely has an impingement of some sort.

Whereas in thrown ins he is ok as thats more body to body as opposed needing to really jump into someone. I can only think its a hip he's protecting and explains why he isnt doing more stuff around the ground and labouring....especially in marking. The guys face looks cooked or about to explode each time you see him.....

Terrible just terrible. When was the last time he took a contested mark in a pack like he used to. One of the reasons we struggle to kick out now is due to us lacking him. Preuss must must come in play him and majak 60/40. We will look so much better

When Waite played a similar role last week we looked so much better than we have recently.

Killed by Witts. Took 3 marks - none contested. Beaten in hitouts. No impact - in the bottom 6 rucks in the AFL for 900K. Great...Injured or not, he is not competing around the ground - lack of aerial contest is frightening. Thats mental not physical. Don't tell me that Mumford, Nankervis, Grundy etc would dish that up injured or not.

Looks like he doesn't want to be there or perhaps knows he won't be there next year
More likely.

Gold Coasts' first rounder should do the trick.

Pick 6 (GC) & 20 = J.Kelly
Pick 2 = Davies-Uniake or Fogarty
FA = Dusty
Basically new recruit = Ahern
2018 = Finals

Delist.

I don't care what pick he's worth.

That draft pick, if we can even get anything for him, is now tarnished.

The tangential link to Todd Goldstein will be a burden held by that player for his entire career and it's not a risk worth taking.

While the greats of the game, ones who've won multiple premierships love him.
I think I"ll side with my opinion who sides with the greats of the game. When it comes to Goldstein you have no idea.
Love him for what? He can't kick, doesn't take marks, is overpaid, got outplayed at Sydney by a Canadian rugby player so he had to leave to get a game.
