Thoughts on Goddard today?

[ManOfClay]

Players like him and Heath Shaw can quickly lose their group

 

[00Stinger]

Bloke is a w***er. Has been carrying on like this for years.

Must be easy to blame players for not picking up men, running hard ext when you spend your whole career playing as a loose man

 

[TerryWallet]

Very disappointing to see Brendon blaming others.

Not normally his nature.

 

[The Filth]

This is as accurate a statement as you'll get on essendon.
Goddard is not the problem. The entire club is.
Not sure what will break it but I feel a good year of getting walloped and a low finish should let reality set in for 2019.

I'm hoping the extension woosha signed had a clause that holds him to account for creating the right mindset within the group. Right now, if any are still reeling from the drugs fiasco, trade them if they wish.

Btw - cheers for Smith. I'm about to start a Devon for captain petition. Plays with the heart and mongrel you want from all your players

Interesting perspective.
Nice call on Devon Smith BTW. I like the way he goes about it.

 

[theyellowsash]

Pathetic, wasendes will be better when he's gone.

And heppel showed his weakness as a captain by not pulling him aside and telling him to get in line until after he'd already finished his tantrum

 

[theyellowsash]

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

That's an outdated view from a time when sexist and general abuse qualified as "motivation"

 

[BarryMorgan]

Disgusting you can even compare the two, seriously you should have your account suspended.

Sorry, you’re right - Maxwell was far worse.

 

[Pack Specialist]

He's a flog but we've always known this.

Glad Zaka told him to GAGF.

 

[James Colorado]

Will make an enthralling subplot in those movies he said will get made.

 

[Red Bull]

Very disappointing to see Brendon blaming others.

Not normally his nature.

Would his middle name be Albert by any chance ?

 

[TerryWallet]

Would his middle name be Albert by any chance ?

Brendon Albert Goddard.

For god's sake, stop torturing Bomber supporters.

1 BAG's is surely enough.

 

[Gavin Excell]

goddard is a legend, leave him alone.

Legend?

F me!

 

[Red Bull]

Brendon Albert Goddard.

For god's sake, stop torturing Bomber supporters.

1 BAG's is surely enough.

Salt of the earth is Bag's
EDFL standard he may be , but salt of the earth

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Legendary 2010 Grand Final performance out weights any finger pointing.

He has the right intentions but there is a way to get a message across, especially after he kicked it to a Collingwood player 30 metres out. Its apart of who he is, he wont change now. I'd be frustrated too after he walked in right before the drug saga came in. Also Daniher had 10 clangers.

 

[Bardo State]

Honestly don't mind him getting angry and telling team mates where they should be going when the team is down.

Obviously seeing the tension between him and Zaka wasn't pretty but it's needed sometimes in team sports.

 

[biggiemediums]

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

Shit post. Maxwell was Collingwood's best captain in my 28 years of life.

 

[Dirty_banchez]

It's about time somebody told Joe to pull his head in. It would drive me nuts seeing a teammate laughing and hugging opposition players.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

The most toxic player in football, is anyone shocked?

Who cares.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

False.

His role may have changed at times but that’s completely irrelevant to the topic at hand. He’s always put his head over the footy when it’s his turn to go.

Head and elbow you mean

 

[Carson Dial]

Should be set to the naughty rug for at least a week

 

[Jack Bradley]

That's an outdated view from a time when sexist and general abuse qualified as "motivation"

How do you know he was abusing others? Gee there are some cream puffs in here.

 

[Strange Cat]

Daniher was trying to argue back and the flog just screamed at him more leaving Daniher to walk off shaking his head

Real inspiring leader there...but he’s been like this for years and years.

Disgraceful

 

[JohnnyFontane90]

Nothing to see here. To be honest if my team was getting annihilated by a less talented 22 on a big stage like that, then i'd be more concerned if no one is displaying discontent.

There's no reason to think it's anything abusive. Discussions like this happen in the locker room everyday. the TV did a nice job of playing it in slow motion on repeat 100,000 times so that thousands of people had plenty of time to compose a thoroughly uninformed opinion about a normal exchange.

 

[romeohwho]

Quite like cranky Goddard myself. And it’s not like a few of that team didn’t need a kick up the bum. He might makes mistakes but is trying his guts out.

 

[Tushay]

You blokes are ******* 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.

That's what he wants you to think. School yard stuff to distance yourself from team mates so publicly "hey, everyone, it's not my fault!"
