Image result for i don't think so

 

No need to import Goddard. I'm sure we can find someone amongst our current players who can sledge teammates, tip over food and point.

I think Hugh has been disappointing at the Aints.  Only his first game for the year on Saturday and didn't do much.  Bit of size but pass.


Brent Moloney was the best pointer in the business. No point settling for second best...

unsure what a 34 year old from an average club would do for us. huge no for mine. 

 

Very good player, his 2010 GF was brilliant, would have served a purpose a few years ago, but not at 34. I do think we need to consolidate our older guys with a new lot though.

Ask me to make a list of players I'd least want at the MFC and this bloke would be #1 with daylight to second.

Walked out of St Kilda in his prime to go to Essendon as a free agent.   If you think what Scully did to us was bad, imagine what the Saints fans think of Goddard. 


Probably kicks and marks it better than Lewis and does a better job completely avoiding his man so he doesn't have to fall over or lamely pretend to tackle. But I'd rather just stick to the veteran we already have, given we're already on the hook for his money next year. 

Adding a couple of young zippy skilled defenders is what our backline needs. Goddard is the last thing we need.

St Kilda pushed him, they needed to rebuild as their list was falling off a cliff. Most Saints fans don't hold a grudge and would welcome him back for next year.

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.

Cleaner has vetoed it, as he won't pick up his mess ( thrown food ) in the change rooms.

I’m a fan of satire.  Well done to the OP.

only GCNever or Bluesyoulose.  No one else is shithouse enough to improve by having him.

Lewis played well on Sunday


I dont think we should go for him because we need pace but he hasnt had a bad year at all. Averaged 22 touches or something. I wouldnt call him way past it. 

He could tell us how they did it.........

You know what's really funny? Four years ago and we'd actually be having a legit conversation about recruiting an over-the-hill brendan goddard...

Goddamn we have a come a long way. What a time to be alive!

  • 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.
