The Thread About Nothing - PART 2 OPEN

[TOOs_Finest]

So if Goddard gets to the Bombers with a big price tag, does that suggest the Bombers truly believe they are in the window? Could be proven wrong, but I just don't see it myself. I thought their mantra (courtesy of Bomber) was to develop their own, and all that stuff? Does the window opening mean you just throw stuff out of it?

Doing their best to salvage Hird's reputation I suppose, they miss finals again and the jungle drums will be beating

goddard won't make up for their shithouse defence

 

[a_fighting_fury]

Ugh... I don't want to say they didn't deserve it, you can only beat who you play. I just don't see the Swans as the best team of 2012...

I dunno, maybe I'm just bitter about our missed opportunities...

You dont have to be evidently, just be good enough to get there. But to then win that Cup, you have to be the best team in the GF. And they were.

Changes your perception of how to win one doesnt it?

Wouldn't think he's even the answer to their midfield. I certainly see him as still having a few good years left in him, despite some below par form the last two years, but surely he'd be better suited to a WCE, Hawks, Swans or even North?

Maybe the idea is that the opposition cant tag 3 seagulls at once, Stanton Heppell Goddard

Might need an extra Eagle up on the roof at MCG games for the Bummers next year?

I may just fling some hot chips onto the ground to distract them for Tiger games

Goddard offer is official.

From Essenscum board - Goddard thread:

I would like to congratulate Richmond on landing Chris Knights haha

 

[Livonski]

I know it's way too early but....spotted No38 running around the Tan at luchtime today. Looks a real beast up close and now has that air about him, you know, like he owns the joint. He has come a long way quickly young Stevie. Great to see him putting a bit more in the tank while the opposition are on holidays.

F Goddard Not worth the $$$$$$

Knights is free

Goddard was free also wasn't he.

 

[Groupie_]

Goddard was free also wasn't he.

But his pay check will be ultra fat.

And not worth the money being given.

We could have afforded him but we clearly don't want to give him that much money because he is simply not worth that kind of money.

 

[Kamikaze]

Commiseration to the Saints! They still have plenty of quality players. Dons overpaid anyway but that's the expectation nowadays if you want to snare a good player.

Look forward to your Dreamtime pre game thread.

From Essenscum board - Goddard thread:

They are obsessed. Pretty funny.

28 in May

They will only get 2-3 years out of him

They think they can win a flag surely.

 

[Cutty]

Look forward to your Dreamtime pre game thread.

May go something like this...

 

[tigs2010]

Haha ****ing gold Cutty

IDGAF suggested a while back that Bellamy should be looked at as coach. Didn't say we should get him, but said we could do worse. Everyone scoffed at him, including me. Not so silly now. Bellamy is an absolute genius. True genius.

I don't recall this but would have thought it would have been scoffed at because he is a League coach rather than because of the great coach that he is.

 

[Groupie_]

I just threw up a bit in my mouth after reading that Essendumb offered a 28 year old 4 years..

 

[PHX]

The media will make this put as the sky is falling for the saints and the Dons are now contenders but adding Goddard doesn't actually fill a need for Essendon and the Saints now begin to free up some much needed cap space and will get reasonable compensation.

Play on.

 

[Groupie_]

3 years for chris knights LOL.

Poor mans Goddard.

 

[tugga]

The desperation that Hird has shown is immense.
