BJ lining up for game 250 against carlton this weekend!

From memory BJ supported Carlton as a kid and would have gone there as no1 pick had they not copped the salary cap cheating penalties.

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but he's coming up on SEN shortly if anyone wants to tune in.

 

[pepsi]

Great effort to reach the 250 mark.

Very glad we traded him to the club, he has shown excellent leadership and been an important member of the group to get us through the the 2 years.

 

[Rack Watts]

He's been a phenomenal pick up.
Got given so much shit for having paid so much for him.
WORTH
EVERY
DOLLAR

Extension pls.

Just love listening to BJ in the media - what a great career he will have when his footy is over! Congratulations on 250 games - have loved having you at the Dons!!

It was a one man leadership show with Jobe, then came along Goddard. Im pretty confident in saying that both StKilda and Essendon supporters admire, respect and are very thankful he played for both these great clubs. Congratulations on 250!

We didn't trade for him. He was a free agent and chose us.

Even better

 

[MAAAATTDAAAAMON]

Great pick up. Has been exactly what we needed. Having him probably helped us get Chappy and Coon too.

Who did St Kilda get as compo?

Seems a win/win I suppose, although I still think Saints were mad to let him go. If Riewoldt leaves at the end of the year, what better leader to take over for a couple of years until someone else is ready.

I love how he has embraced Essendon as much as Essendon has embraced him.

Have we got any vice-captains this year? If we do, it should be Goddard and Heppell.

Good Luck to Brendon Goddard this weekend & hopefully he can win a flag with you guys. A true champion of the game, never gives up trying. Anyways, good luck for the rest of the season guys, pretty confident that you'll be there abouts late in September.

 

[Moist Cobra]

Hopefully we can get the win and not let Carlton get the upset.

They were given pick 13 which was used in a trade with the Suns.

- Saints recieved: Hickey + picks 25 & 46
- Suns received: Picks 13, 36 & 55

The Suns used pick 13 to grab Jesse Lonergan.

I really want him to at least reach the 100-game milestone for this club and get his name on a locker (as well as a premiership or three!). For a guy to walk into a club that was almost immediately put under a huge cloud, to then go on and win a B&F, as well as carry himself in the manner he has, says a lot about the man.

Plus, F/S rule?

 

[expires]

Wonder who his mum is going for this week?

If it hapens it happens but to lose this week is unthinkable. The club owes Brendon a bit of thankyou for embracing us under unforseen circumstances.

[The Prosecutor]

He'll be known as an Essendon man when he retires.

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

He'll be known as an Essendon man when he retires.

Not unless he wins a flag with us, I think.

If you were to ask me for a definitive Goddard moment, I'd have no hesitation in naming his mark and subsequent goal in the first 2010 GF.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Hope he plays 100 games so he's eligible for father/son.

 

[Doss]

Very possible- that would require playing on into 2017 at least and I can't see why that couldn't happen.

He'll only be 31 at the start of the 2017 season.

He's durable as well hardly gets injured so i could see him playing on.

Has had a knee reco and has groin issues but he is very professional in managing his body conditioning well

From memory they traded the compo pick for Tom Hickey.
