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

[TheKanga]

After Brad roast on Daw i kinda expect Daw dropped for Goldy this week.

8D (6K 2H), 1M, 6T, 52 HO, 0 I50, 3 R50, 1 Free, 2 Against.

6 tackles is good. 52 Hit outs would be expected wouldn't it? I'd expect it anyway. The rest ... well ... he had less total possessions than Maj's contested possessions. Less marks than Maj's contested marks and one more tackle. It was a rough day weather wise apparantly, maybe that slowed him a bit.

8 disposals... heck me goldy

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Yeah, hit outs were the least of his issues. Doesn't get back in off those alone.

8 disposals is just not good enough! You spend 75% of the game around the contest!

 

[discomute]

Yeah but you need to look at the high hit outs and low possessions under the prism of a very windy day with torrential rain.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Pittonet beat him on the weekend.

In quite the slump is Todd.

 

[North Viking]

Tbh I would be surprised to see Goldy back in the team before the end of the year.

I would be even further surprised to see him on our list next year.

after that performance, is Goldy the one who needs to demand the number 1 ruck spot or Daw as Brad suggested?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

If Todds formline was represented by a yo-yo, with the string fully extended being his dominant best, right now, the string is wound up and the yo-yo has been placed in the cupboard with the pogo stick, tamagotchi and any other fad related item you begged your parents to buy.

How many minutes did they both play in the ruck?

 

[GarnerSmash]

How many minutes did they both play in the ruck?

Dunno.

But given both are no 1 rucks and both have posted no 1 ruck hit out numbers i will work on the assumption that both played no 1 ruck for most of, if not all their time in ground.

If the assumption is correct (i reckon the odds are pretty good) then Todd got outworked by Hawthorns second choice ruckman on a day where his elite contested work around the contest should have ensured at least a better tackle count.

He's struggling

 

[TheKanga]

Yeah he stays out another week for mine.
Let Daw play or a Daw/Preuss combo

 

[muttley45]

1 mark at VFL level Goldy, after zero last week, looks like he still has things to work on.

 

[iSmack]

Its not ability or conditioning.

When elite blokes drop off like that its almost always mental.

Lacking hunger, purpose or issues at home....

What part of pissing down with rain do people not get?

Conditions were poor but doesn't change the fact that Goldstein was also poor. He has done nothing to suggest senior selection this week and you would be stupid to think otherwise.

Goldy was named in the bests

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

200cm ruckman....why?

A question we are now all asking.

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Nankervis and Mummy managed to go alright in the same conditions?

Have they both overtaken Goldy now?

Should we expect less of Goldy than the both of them?

 

[DarwinRoo]

Go ok? I'm assuming they got 20 touches and took 10 marks I guess.

 

[DarwinRoo]

Remember when Goldy was shitcanned for -7

Haha, now you're basing a game on metres gained for a ruckman?

I'm simply stating Goldy wasn't the only ruck to play in poor conditions on Sunday. He was though, the only AA ruckman playing two's against a player that hasn't cracked a senior spot yet.

One would assume he would be able to go pretty well. He may have been Of great presence out there, but he stats suggest he didn't dominate like someone of his stature should.

Not speaking for DR, or for Goldy's return, but I don't buy the assertion he was poor based on stats at a game none of us attended. I'd listen to any of the usual VFL watchers, or I'll wait and see what the match committee does.

 

[Passmore]

Goldy's struggling no matter how you want to dress it up.

I'd expect him to rack up 20 touches at VFL level in peak form even if it were snowing.
