Goddard?

[Bunk Moreland]

You mean, before he jumped ship for a quid?

Which means he's a poor leader?

Better tell GAJ and Chris Judd. Poor leaders both.

 

[The Prosecutor]

So the chasing a flag thing is a bit of a beat-up?

He left primarily because of his relationship with Scott Watters, but St Kilda wouldn't go beyond three years and Essendon offered four.

Plus at that point, he needed a sea change. The difference in attitude behind the scenes from his last year at St Kilda compared to his time at Essendon is remarkable.

Funny that St Nick anointed him his successor as captain before he left then.

But what would he know.

You more then anyone should know that captains sometimes make bad decisions

 

[Warsaw Winder]

Didn't St Kilda have massive, truly massive salary cap issues? Goddard may be a douche of the highest order, but he can play some serious football, and would command a corresponding wage. I suspect the saints were happy enough to see him go, for purely economic reasons.

this is correct. well documented in emma quayles latest book

I'm really not.

EDIT: To your above post, the salary cap issues and Goddard's contract formed part of the friction between Watters and Goddard.

Yeah great read that. I wish she'd do a shortish, like 40 pages or so, wrap up of each individual draft from every team's perspective. Eg. The dogs took Kieran Collins at pick 26 for reasons x, y and z, having identified a need for a seemingly ready to go backman to free up Jordan Roughead up the ground and potentialy into the ruck, where he feels he plays his best football blah de blah de blah. I'd buy that everyday of the week.

Kyle Reim....maybe not.

watters wasnt what caused goddard to leave. it wasnt even in his rant to watters and pelchen. he left for more money, more security and finals... everything else paled in comparison... but hey feel free to talk it up

dal santo left because of scott

edit: took out the source of the above info. gave up too much

The funny thing is, I agree with this.
He talks well, and he's a good bloke.
Believe it or not, I'd consider Zach Merrett too, speaks so well, is already a leader around the club.
Baguley is another.

Baguley played as a killer midfielder back in his juniors, hasn't had the opportunity, may he have a cracker this season

 

[Rustler]

We dont have much of a choice.

Player vote I say, best man stands up. I would really want Zaharakis, he went against the grain, now he get the grain. I think he will inspire the younger guys alot more than Goddard. Its up to them, they're still there in the team.

 

[Rustler]

A left field nomination, purely based on his personal form and leadership qualities just might be Mark Baguley.

Tough, hard as nails, honest.

And a really good guy, really nice.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the peninsula footy league is a step down from the AFL. I was a gun sprinter when I was 12. Now I'd be lucky to run 100m.

I don't think Baguley would have anywhere near the tank to play a full game in the midfield, let alone a season. He might have stints in there, but I wouldn't imagine it'd be a permanent thing, even with your situation.

 

[Pugz89]

Is players like Heppell,Hooker etc decide leave that will be end for me.

Does 2016 count towards FA? If so, Hooker may leave as a FA end of year and you'll only get a compo pick in return, unless AFL pull the pin on compo picks. That'd nearly be the final nail in Ess' coffin from the AFL.

You're wrong, he would be as keen as mustard and unlike you is still in competitive sport. Unlike you has more drive and unlike you he would say let's give it a go. I stand by what I said I hope he gives it a crack, because unlike you he can do it. Good luck with your 100 metre sprints maybe you'll live abit longer.

Hooker is a FA.

 

[Pugz89]

Hooker is a FA.

So this year counts towards qualifying then? Interesting times, could go either way imo.

I'll be shattered if he left love his passion and his competitiveness.

 

[Defacto]

pretty much any player in the 34 who wants to be a free agent, will be after this ban

they'd easily be able to rip up that contract

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Bet he wishes he chose literally any other club. Hell, the Saints are closer to a premiership tilt now, if he'd just stayed put.

I like the part where he walked out on the Saints because he wanted to play for a team with a better chance of winning a premiership. Lol

He left St Kilda because they didn't want to pay him enough.

 

[Matchu]

Does it exist? The guy had nothing to do with the doping scandal but has been dragged into it more than any other person that wasn't involved and possibly more than some who were involved.

 

[mike123]

He'll be getting handball receives like crazy

 

[gangsta deluxe]

There's something about him that I don't like. I just don't think I can point to what it is.
