Brendan Goddard

[Harrisonrules 273]

Man is he good. Goodes, Pavlich, Goddard are my preferred type of player for the number ones in the comp.Yes for me ahead of the Abletts, Judds, Swans, Pendelbury. Runners run with the tide. Large athletic utilities, more often that not turn the tide. Goddard would have won the Norm Smith if it included the two games combined. He was the series winner.

Morton will one day be a poor man's Goddard, if we're lucky.

If we're really lucky he'll be even better.

Would be absolutely ecstatic if he was a poor mans goddard! for mine goddard's overhead marking ability makes him such a gun. like morton struggles a touch with his kicking sometimes but his strength overhead is honestly elite. please please cale get this good haha

why not be ambitious!!

I know him and love the way he plays footy from a junior was always gonna be an elite afl player but i remember in his first few years he really struggled with the pace and to find his spot in the side, i don't rate morton as high and never followed him as a junior but i think the guy has got some simular ability to goddard. The main difference Goddard has reached his potential and Morton has not even come close..... yet. lets hope he can cause every team would love a Brendan Goddard!

Big call on Morton being our Goddard .

Morton will never have the grunt of Goddard or the Elite kicking skill .

[Sir Why You Little 35,411]

Goddard's game from last week will go down in History as one of the greatest of all time.

His Tank in the last Quarter was beyond brilliant.

I think if they had've won it would've . Now ... Dunno .

it will be remembered. the '77 draw is well remembered, the replay not so much.

Twiggy Dunns mark and goal is remembered , the rest , not so much .

Goddards mark was the greatest in a GF IMO though , for timing , height and to put them in front late .

totally agree.

BJ's game over the past two weeks points out exactly what footballers like Morton should aim for. Superstar and the new prototype for the modern midfielder.

Disagree, but it depends on your definition of grunt. Morton's stamina is elite. It was when we drafted him and it will only continue to improve with more preseasons.

If we are very lucky, he will be just as good. Morton has the make up to deliver what Goddard can, the mental fortitude? Not sure. Goddard didn't use his height anywhere near enough early in his career.

Goddard is a fantastic player, but he had people certainly question his ability as far as being a # 1 pick was concerned. From saints fans especially and others, very similar to the mixed comment Jack Watts has generated.

He tailed off yesterday as the pies dominated. Without picking up a Norm Smith, IMO he was the best player across both games.

[Chook 14,711]

Why do they call him BJ? Shouldn't it be BG?

It's Brendon J (for James) Goodard

[Dee Fan 3,247]

In his first few years Goddard wouldn't go near a pack and was just another outside player but over the last couple he is really hard at it; no reason why Cale can't do the same.

Not even close to Leo Barry's.

Last chance for West Coast, all the pressure and attack being thrown at Sydney, no flag for 70 years.

Oh. Thanks.

Yes, agree. Leo Barry's was in a pack of about 10 and won the game. Goddard's was magnificent but not as good.

[The Big Ticket 94]

He should have won the Norm Smith last week. Guess they felt bad for Hayes not making the AA team (which was ridiculous BTW)

Absolute champion, every team would just love him.

Goddard never had the grunt of Goddard until he was called out for it a little bit and almost over compensated at some stages. It all comes down to desire. Can Morton discover an aggression for the ball? Time will tell indeed.

Goddard is the saints best and most player balanced player who can play anywhere on the field and win the position. Be also bleeds for the team when he is there, while its sad to see, how emotional he was at the loss.
