Goddard !!!
How many goals do you guys think bj playing a full season at full forward would kick ???
Re: Goddard !!!
Not enough to compensate the value we would lose around the ground and kicking inside forward 50.southern saint wrote:How many goals do you guys think bj playing a full season at full forward would kick ???

How many do we have who can actually deliver the ball lace out?
Goddard stays where he is imo

He, in my opinion, is the most accurate long kick in the AFL. Punishing long kicks to men running.
He can't and should not play forward because we lose the best long kicker in this game.

Gwilt has just about established himself as our best defender, we all know he is a great kick, but how many times would he be kicking inside 50?saintjake wrote:yeah he is a brilliant kick,
but with how poor our forward line works at times.
an athlete like Goddard up there would create headaches as a match up.
when Nicky Dal is up and about he delivers it beautifully
same as Gwilty
Inside 50s seaons 2010:
Goddard: 97
Dal: 88
Gwilt: 46
Take Goddard out of it and we'll struggle.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a forward who thought his job was to kick goals???!!!
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
ill be honest and say i would rather have the arthritic hands of the big G-train out their with his inability to chase and tackle out there
then have Kosi.
you could at least have faith that G would kick you 4 goals
and if he didnt, he wouldnt knock out Roo
and he would put the fear of god into the oppostion.
he could also kick straight.

Goddard as a full time forward and matched up to a top line defender would average maybe 3 goals a match ?
Playing his current role -
He can kick a goal a match anyway by sneaking forward and also sets up goals indirectly - so he probably generates 3 goals anyway - plus he also stops 2 or 3 goals down back ... and when he has it 30 times in the midfield the opposition don't... so they don't generate as many goals.
so more value in his current role... probably worth 5 - 8 goals every week(directly/indirectly) to us in his current role.

It's all academic anyway as Fev will be there

I really hope so. He would really play a great brand of Saints footy.SaintPav wrote:60-75southern saint wrote:How many goals do you guys think bj playing a full season at full forward would kick ???

Re: Goddard !!!

We need line-breaking ball carriers who pump the ball long and can slot a goal or two, and the only effective ones we have are Goddard and Gram (when un-injured). We need one more attacking half back flanker though. Goddard should not be played at full forward. We need to recruit a full forward, or at least develop one.

I have been thinking about this too.
It is a bit like Geelong was when Ablett v1.0 played - could play anywhere - but they still could not win one. Even with a centreline that delivered it to him at FF.
He could kick 90+ but would it help us much more? I do not think so.

This is a team game and there is no room for individuals who think they are above walking through the fire.

Mini is crap. He never wins his own ball and struggles to kick 1 goal every 3-4 weeks. A complete liability to the team.vacuous space wrote:Our score assist leader was Schneider. He's out. Goddard was second and we're moving him to FF. Mini was third and we're dropping him.
I suspect the goals will just manufacture themselves.
