Will Brendon Goddard help the Bummers beat Melbourne in 2013?

[Brendon Goddard]

How true. How true!

In fact, I suspect you're kinda low-balling it there...

Seems to have got us better results than Melbourne. It doesn't matter because next year Essendon will be getting better results than Richmond, Carlton and Melbourne. I'll make sure to be on for your comments then.

Not since Round 9 he hasn't

Oh yes, that'll be happening.

Holy shit, I think I just saw a flying pig...

Did anyone else see that?

Essendon is old. We may have Fletcher who can do more than Chaplin even at his age, but then Watson is only 27 and all our other promising players like Hurley, Carlise, Zaka, Stanton, Daniher, Ryder, Bellchambers... the list goes on, who are all still very young. If you think Richmond can get past Sydney, Hawthorn, Geelong (With the added talent), Collingwood, Adelaide, West Coast, Fremantle, or even an Essendon/Carlton/North Melbourne you are an idiot.

We beat Sydney and Hawthorn ths year! and we thrashed you and weren't too far off the rest.

Hate to break it to you but we are already past you.

The ladder wouldn't suggest that. Can't wait for next year because it's not going to go the way you think.

The ladder lol you were half a game ahead.

We thrashed you. We never got thrashed all year. We could have easily had 6 more wins this year and we are young and raw.

Bummers are farked. :O

Bummers 2013= 2009 Richmond

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Mmmm, I like that - as long as we aren't 2009 Melbourne, of course

2008 Richmond just missed the 8 and then went out and got Cuz..

Ageing list picking up a former star? Sound familiar?

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Indeed mate.

The irony is, dare I say it... delicious!

"Washed up and Injury prone"

Are you talking about Goddard or your former captian, Chris Newman? He missed two games this season. How is that injury prone? He still had a decent season if you haven't seen my earlier posts about his stats.

Nothing against Chris, but if Goddard is apparently "washed up", then I don't even know what to call Newman.

Just call him champ!...

Ladder schmadder. Pick 9 is more valuable in a trade than pick 12.

Next year next year, you are sounding like a tugger fan. It does not matter how good you are up to round 9. What matters is the result at the end of the year. No team goes uninjuried. Essenscum have a record of beginning good & finishing bad. This year was just like the years before. No reason for this to alter.

Hate to break it to you but you are still behind Gold Coast.

Maybe, but is pick 9 in a trade better than Joe Daniher? The man who would have been number 1 is coming to us with pick 10.

F the Daniher's

 

[Brendon Goddard]

F the Daniher's

F the Daniher who has been called the best player ever to come out of the TAC Cup? A guy who was 197cm at 16 and is still growing?

Looking forward to yet another Bummer meltdown, talking themselves up as 100+ victors only for the players to wander off the ground with dick in hand.

Grandpa Gods isn't going to change that.

There actually is a reason for this to alter. "The Weapon" wont have complete power of the pre-season training and will be watched over. Why shouldn't I talk about next year when this year is already over?

I did say in a trade.

If we are after Tyson, pick 9 will give us a better chance to nut out a deal than pick 12.

 

[Brendon Goddard]

Just call him champ!...

How is he a champ if he has never won a premiership or a club B&F? All he did was captian a club that never made the finals while he was the skipper. Fantastic career right there!

Essendon has pick 10. Anyway, it's already being used on Daniher so whether we had pick 9 or 10 it would be used the same way.

Has goddard?

 

[Tiger2709]

Goddard had a shocker when we played Melbourne earlier this year when he got tagged out of the game so probably not.



We would have been crazy to match Essendon's offer.

I'm sure if some other club offers Cotchin twice what he is worth and you lose him you will want good compensation.

I agree you would have been crazy to match the offer, the thing I am on about is the Saints got the 10 best years out of him and he now seems to be past his best, so surely overly compensating will cause issues in the future, but good luck to the Saints get whatever they can, they have already owned the Bombers on this one, surely he would have better suited a club that was pushing for a flag next year.

Whether Newman is washed up remains to be seen simple fact is we didn't just sign Newman to a 4 year contract at 800,000+, so I don't see what your point is?
