Thoughts on Goddard today?

[Linda_Lovelace]

It will be passed off as 'he plays with passion' but I thought he was awful today. He is the sort of guy who can be a negative influence around the club and it might be time for them to ease him out of the side or talk to him of a mid year retirement.

It has been a problem for a long time but today was just very, very poor. He made plenty of mistakes himself but is the first to be critical of others.

 

[gavaniacono]

Floggard.
Get rid of him.
Look to the future.

 

[Cincinnatus]

He has been great this year. Played a huge hand in winning rd1 for them. Show me a single decent bomber today.

He still has it.

 

[LynchysMob]

I'd be distraught if I saw one of our senior players interacting with teammates like that. Especially right after the half time break where they should have all come out the race unified.

He's a narcissistic w***er. He served his purpose during that dark period but he needs to be taken off their list ASAP as he is toxic for culture and unity.

Never seen players so obviously look at a teammate like he is a shit stain on the team mid game.

 

[Hirsty23]

It is an ugly, ugly look i'll say that much. Especially when he seems to be doing it every week.

 

[Aramis]

Well past it, an aggro annoying has been. When things aren't going his teams way he is the first to point the finger.
Needs to start looking in the mirror.
Embarrassing today.

 

[doppleganger]

Spent all game pointing at others, whilst just standing back with Hurley as seagulls who both spent the day padding their stats.

With those two as supposed leaders, Essendon are going nowhere.

 

[Ok Boomer]

Selfish and predictable.

 

[BarryMorgan]

Graduated head of the class at the Nick Maxwell School of Finger Pointing.

 

[Power Play]

I just hope the pretzels are ok.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Been in the league like 15 years now?

It’s not exactly surprising.

 

[RupieDupie]

How’s that old saying go, “if you point a finger at another person you get three digits with three phalanges and one with two phalanges pointing back at you” But in Goddard’s defence he appeared to be pointing randomly, up and away... on the vision I’m not sure who he was pointing at...

 

[tigers47]

Would not be one pretzel left intact

 

[The_Eagles]

Loped along like a veteran
Should be his last year, but you need old hands

 

[Ancient Tiger]

Needs to be dropped as a sign of discipline from the coach. You can't continue to berate team mates like he does.

 

[Kcrack]

Didn’t realise he had 30+ possessions? Does pointing count as a possession for him?

 

[Orange Agent]

About the only bloke at Essendon that plays with any heart. We cop shit for being a team of individuals but bugger me, surely Essendon comfortably have our measure. Not sure what they stand for as a club anymore.

Memories.

You blokes are ****ing kidding ain't you. At least this guy has a ****en crack and shows he wants to play for the jumper unlike some of the guys who show sweet **** all week in week out and want to play the game one way.
About the only guy who shows he gives a shit.

 

[Red Bull]

Love him
Must extend contract

And that's the problem. Unless you know the details of what is said and why you may well be shooting the messenger.

 

[Jack Bradley]

Old mate on afl 360 made a good point.

If it was Luke Hodge doing that we would be talking about how great a leader he is.

I have no problem with it.

 

[Truetiger]

Lol will just leave this here.

 

[Ancient Tiger]

And that's the problem. Unless you know the details of what is said and why you may well be shooting the messenger.

There are ways of saying things.

Not that way. It actually hinders others performances.

Hinders some peoples performances. Some people take it well. Was pretty usual when I played footy
