Could we get Brendon Goddard to the deees for a specific role ?? We don't currently have a leader type to point and yell at teammates. 

Goddard could fill that role....and he's good at it.

 
 

Surely you jest?

He won't get another gig the way he carried on at Essendon this year.


we already have an old geriatric (Lewis) to yell instructions to teammates, (and give the umpire a serve if we need it)

Of course he is.  

Virtually cost his side a run at finals this year when he stepped on the chalk for a kick-in and gifted Hawks a goal in the last term.  Ess lost by 4 points ?

 

Fails the NDH test.    

Car park attendant. "Next to that tree sir." (points)

Usher. "Bag check this way sir." (points) "Passout exit over there sir." (points)

Doughnut van vendor. "No, hot dogs are available at that van there sir." (points)

Plenty of jobs for him at the MCG.


He could be an onfield coach for us.

That onfield coach would be Mark Neeld but still...

I have always been a huge fan. I know his demonstrative nature on-field has made him look like a right Wally a few times but his poise, leadership and kicking are top notch.

But we do not need him now and he is getting very slow. So no thanks. 

Nearly vomited.... might still.

Do we have to start a thread for every player that is leaving another club?

Stupid idea. NDH policy prevails. He isn't that good. Next.

The thread is clearly in jest. 

But in the same spirit i would have him at the club as a runner. Perfect as he would get to point, instruct and direct to his hearts content.

Can't imagine though that Goody would take too kindly to being told his instructions are ##%%##%#%# wrong.

Was an absolute gun in his day, so unlikeable but such a good player, well past it.

I suspect he's only unlikeable to opposition supporters. Furthermore, I also expect he's quite well liked by his team mates at both St Kilda and Essendon.

I assume he'll stay in football either in the media or coaching, and I expect he will do very well at either.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
