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

Resumed today and looked completely underwhelming.

IMO, he needs to be moved to CHB for the rest of the season, and chop out Campbell on occasion.

Yeah, I'd give him a free pass for awhile.
Completely underdone, coming off OP. Of course he's going to struggle.

I'm not critical of a rusty first game, it's more related to his forward work. I reckon he needs a switch up in his development.

Meh, Goldy is going ok. Not part of the problem.

 

[LB2Snake]

Some really poor citicisms in this thread. He had 5 ****ing centre clearances out of the teams 12 !

Busted his guts against two opposition ruckman, then had to run his guts out all over the ground to fill up holes because of the constant turnovers.

There's at least 15 in front of him that should be getting bagged.

Interesting stats, did not realise that. I personally find him nowhere near as effective as he should be. Super frustrating.

Why are people guts aching over a 32 year old ruck at the end of his contract?

Has no bearing whatsoever on where we are as a club...

He’s 30, but I get your point.

Been a good player but I find him really frustrating. The worst part of the whole game for me was when he didn’t even bother to go up in the ruck - Essendon got the clearance and then Bellchambers marked in the goalsquare while Goldy was on the 50. He also gets a lot of his possessions out near the boundary line. Was a really good player there for a couple of years but he has always been a little bit soft. I’m probably old fashioned but your ruckman should be big and tough and bowl over a heap of the opposition players instead of running out towards the boundary and getting easy possessions.

For some bizarre reason, many people are completely irrational when it comes to analysing this bloke.

Goldy is fine. Hasn’t been amazing but hasn’t been bad. Not the issue imo

 

[Dirty_11]

Missed a few goals he should have kicked. Not alone there. He has been ok but is no longer the match winner he once was, just a role player.

It's because people still hold him to his standards of when he was a top 3 Ruckman in the league. He's still a valuable contributor.

People need to be more realistic with their analysis then spider.

Haha. Good luck with that.

 

[Go_Roos!]

Unbelievable ability to be so limp wristed that he can drop the ball to his toenails at the ball ups, not many grown men have this ability.

To be fair he just had an interview saying he wants a long term contract.

At the moment his output is not commensurate with his salary, that is a large reason that the expectation is high.

He did some good things on Friday but some very ordinary things too.

Take the compo and run

I thought his centre bounce ruckwork was shithouse and with the 6 6 6 rule that will kill us. There were times I thought he couldn't have done that better if he was actually playing for *. It was like he deliberately hit it away from our players to them. (I'm sure it wasn't the case it was just that he was so bad it seemed that way.)

early 3rd round at best.

In his dev-what? Is this word English?

Might not be our worst contrubtoir but his tap work isn't anywhere near what it once was, and whenever he gets involved around the ground he torches it more often then not.

One who can play a quarter of footy a game?

Maybe we need to get Kingy in as the new coach.

 

[Mcarcherey]

Another great game. Had a good year, building back to his best form imho.

Agree he was very good, but I'm not convinced he'll get back to what he was. But loving the commitment.

Todd played really well. However, we lost. Like all players the mistakes are magnified. If we were winning, the “how many dicks has Goldy” thread would be very active.

He was poo in the first Q but worked bloody hard to get involved for the rest of the Game. Lycett and Ryder are one of the most dangerous duo’s in the Comp and Goldy (with tarrant’s support while they were resting forward) almost completely nullified them.
