I reckon Goddard talk is all crap. He's said pretty emphatically that he wants to be at Essendon. Unless the new coach wants to push him out.

Ok haven't seen any talk about him sorry if it's been talked about.

On SEN they mentioned BJ as a possible "Ryan Griffen trade" of 2015 suggesting that he might want to get to a club that will push for a flag in the next 1-2 years, feel was mentioned as that team.

Would you like BJ at the club? He can play all 3 areas, has very good kicking skills and could come cheap next year, what I mean is he is a 700k player so Essendon may be keen to pay a big chunk if his salary meaning we could end up paying 400-450k for him.

Is he the type of player we need? Prob not but I think we should look at it atleast
There was a disclaimer that Goddard wanting out was false.

I get the Geelong backline is ageing but where does Henderson play next year? Hawkins, Clarke up front, Taylor and Lonergan down back. He's hardly a third tall at either end.
Longergan will wind up end of next year, they are just bringing him in a year early while they have the chance. Probably split games between him and Hendo to ease him in to their style.

Geelong's position is interesting in that are they going to have the big spike their recruiting philosophy seems to think .
Personally reckon they'll have a spike, but just don't have the young talent coming through to maintain it.
Giving up a first rounder and a second rounder plus potentially a first next season, may bite them on the arse

I agree, I don't rate their kids, they look ok when the veterans are holding up the side, but no Johnson, Bartel and co I. The future will expose them. Selwood and Danger together will be interesting,

Well I guess after Higgins left we do need an expert finger-pointer

Out of interest, what do all the people who think Hrovat is worthless think of Jake Melksham?

Because I would take Hrovat all day over Melksham and he is apparently garnering pick 26...
Unfortunately the market isn't as dumb as Melbourne, otherwise the Rat would be worth a top 15 pick on the Melksham scale.

Cant underestimate how much a good finger pointer can influence a game. Do they test for it at the draft ?
BJ is elite.
He comes anywhere near our club , card straight into the micro wave !:eek:

They like to make sure they pay a premium for players who have been 'Melbourned' prior to arrival.

I'm going to like it when Paul Roos blames the fans (maybe a specific sub-section of them, like children supporters) for this decision. i.e. 'Their negativity made the list manager anxious and he did something stupid'.

At least Melksham has actually made the field and isn't injured every two weeks

Although I do agree pick 25 for him is a joke but he is as valuable if not more than Hrovat

The bias in here to this nothing footballer is a joke

Let's be honest IF Hrovat was at another clu and we were after him you would al be screaming saying they at the hell are we after him for!!!!

Stop carrying on and having a crack at me coz I'm honest, he is beyond shite and taking a list spot the sooner he goes the better

No one is having a crack at you MD stop playing the victim.

Just trying to get a gauge on how you and other Hrovat bashers rate him in comparison to players that now (seemingly) have a trade value attached.

Melksham plays at AFL level, Hrovat mostly at VFL. Melksham is worth more than Hrovat currently.
IF Hrovat plays well next year, he could over take Melksham quickly.

Our alleged "bias" pales into insignificance in comparison to your irrational hate of a 21 yo trying to make his way in the game.

In the words of Courtney Barnett: "I think you're a joke, but I don't find you very funny."

I don't want that cocksplash Goddard anywhere near our football club.

Let him berate Essendon footballers, rather than Footscray footballers. Let him talk about making movies that they can't fund because they blew their budget on Mexican peptides and paying Hird to gallivant around France for a year. Watch him slowly slip into neverending despair as his beloved Stains soar past the Bombers.
