I havn't heard much talk about this guy.

He is a FA at the end of the year and I was interested to see if people think he would be worth chasing?

Would add class,spread and work ethic to our side. Could be a big help to the younger guys.

Freo going to go hard at him once Cloke signs apparently.

Funny enough the whole Cloke saga has suspiciously died down this week...

Provided Clark's foot comes up OK, and I guess it will be a while before anything definite is known, then Goddard would probably offer us more options then would Cloke. He would be a huge pick up!

I liked the idea a few months ago, but have cooled since.

We should focus our energies on the draft: building a strong, two-tiered squad of talented youngsters (Trengove / Watts / Gysberts et al & the 2012 class).

I would have to say no.

Would be getting old now and would like to see the money go to Beams or Boak.

Stating to slide slowly in his workrate & hurt factor. Passe'.

I'd rather Boak @ age 23ish.

Yup would rather concentrate on getting the Mids right, but...... as some of the older players are soon to drop off (prob very soon) we do need a few generals around the place if we could get him without going out on a limb, then do it. If the saints have a bad finish to the season then he might be tempted. Having Mission at the dees may help.

According to Brad Hardie, Cloke has now been offered 7 years by the dees. Didn't Mark Robinson say that Cloke would be signed at Collingwood by last Friday????? I'm thinking the Cloke saga may be far from over

If we offered him 7 years our board and management would be totally incompetent and Brad Hardie would be less relevant than I thought.

We wouldn't be THAT stupid would we?? Would we............?

No. Goddard's output is on the wane yet he's still going to command huge coin from some club. It shouldn't be us.

I'd offer a more modest two year deal to Chappy if the Cats only offer him one.

Get Goddard, he and Jordie would be a great teaming (TFIC)

What give up pick 3 or 4 for him, no way. And 13 (kennedy) could end up a young anything, even a young Shayne Crawford type.

Don't want any expensive soon to be past its. I don't mind if we take a mature player with a 5th Rnd pick & $$$.

Not for me. He's been in the system now for a decade, is late 20's and has played his best footy.

Yet he'd probably be one of our best players...

Would be great for our culture, toughness, and on-field spirit IMO.

Goddard's a free agent.

No for me.

Very good player but don't think he's the midfield general that we're after. Lenny Hayes leads the way down there at Seaford (still sounds weird saying that).

I'd prefer Boak. Think he's more capable of leading the midfield.

Exactly i wouldn't be paying lots of coin for Goddard, he isn't overly that quick and tends to fade out of games ( although he is a good user of the pill we need both speed and skill) . Would Rather we pay for a Cloke Boak Caddy or Beams

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
