plays for Essendon, but here we are

 

[Don Won]

He’ll cruise past 10,000 career hitouts in about a month.

First to do it by a long way and Gawn would have to play 4 more full years to get near him

It’s an impressive achievement! Will no doubt be remembered as one of the greatest players to ever pull on the Essendon jumper.

 

[Cold Sober]

Deserves every accolade.

 

[faible]

Bruno gushing over something has floored me

Understandable, he hasn’t been an Essendon player long enough to count.

 

[Happyskeret]

I don’t really care about his age he is just a very good footballer. There were times he had the ball in his palms today and realised the self assured traits that he has that seems to resonate to his teammates.

 

[bommer16]

Gives 110%
What a gem.
Hes gold!

 

[Megabattimus]

Love having him in the team.

he’ll give you silver service all day, he’s a great pick up

 

[naraku]

Thanks again, norf!

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Honestly if you told me he was a rough 29, I'd believe it. Moves pretty well for an old fella.

 

[Darealrath]

Probably the most limited to 1 position ruckman we've had in a long time but geez he does that job well.

 

[Doss]

Still a really good player; he’s really impressed me so far this year.

 

[The Donners]

It’s early in the season but body willing I hope he plays on until the body is no longer willing. If he does a “Fletch” he could get to 100 games. He’s got at least 1 son… lol

 

[NAB777]

Thought he had a real crack last night.

 

[jannissary]

important in the match up vs english. really brought the physical part of his game to him and did well out of the guts.

 

[Vander18]

Goldy is a very high quality footballer. You can see his footy IQ…always does the right thing at the right time.

My preference when 2MP returns is to play 1 ruck and right now it would have to be My Boy.

I also note that it’s unlikely our club will have the balls to drop Draper.

 

[Zach Package]

Goldy the most experienced player playing this round with Pendlebury injured and Hawkins out and he’s still schooling last year’s All Australian ruckman.

And kicked a goal!

Interesting stuff from the big mensch

Why Todd Goldstein thinks Brad Scott is a better coach at Essendon than he was at North Melbourne

Essendon ruckman Todd Goldstein has said Brad Scott is a better coach at the Bombers than when he was at North Melbourne. Goldstein has played under Scott at both clubs told 3AW Football he “100 per cent thinks that Essendon have got the best version of Brad”. He then went on to explain how...

Toast - Essendon ruckman Todd Goldstein passes 10,000 Career Hitouts

Tonight Essendon ruckman Todd Goldstein passed the 10,000 career hit out mark. The first ruckman ever to get there. Think he deserves recognition for this, the nearest ruckman Sandilands only got to 8502 and the next best active player is Gawn with 3000 less hit outs.

10,000 career hit outs, make sure you swing by the main board to show him some love.

 

[Vander18]

Unbelievable achievement by my boy to get to 10,000 hit outs.....and it’s daylight to Sandy in second place.

That said, thought Williams got the better of him on Saturday night. Might be time for a well earned rest.

 

[windyhill]

You ****ing idiots norf.

 

[HirdyLannister]

Will he be remembered as a Bomber or a Roo?

 

[DERO]

For a bloke that is older than dust, he is putting together a pretty reasonable year.

 

[tha Freak]

He is such a pro. Just consistent effort every clearance. Not the most athletic or biggest, but just competes to give us the best chance to win.

 

[Old Campaigner]

lol norf

 

[Beerfish]

Plays against the club he was chained to in his formative years next week.
