Re: Brendon Goddard set to sign with Essendon
Well, we drew a line in the sand, and BJ stepped over it.
It's done, it's finished, let's just concentrate on who we can get, after all that is all that matters this time of year.
Mind you there is a long sad history of players changing clubs in search of premiership, a certain coach of a very hated team is the prime example.
Plus, again, as I said, not only is BJ at that price for that long an expensive risk, the expense will be compounded by who will have to make way for him to fit in Essendon's salary cap.

Except for the sanity nothing much has been lost.

I feel like I'm in some kind of Saintsational parallel universe reading this thread.

According to Robo on AFL 360, Dons offered $700k/yr over 4 years and the Saints were offering about $100k less (he didn't say if that was 3 or 4 years).
Gerard made the comment that Goddard wanted out, implying that this was a convenient excuse...

it has been around this time that "Kosi" will headbutt a fence, rip a hamstring or belt someone.

Re: Brendon Goddard set to sign with Essendon
Gerard is wrong. We offered $1.9 mil for 3 years. They offered 'well over' $3 mil for 4 years (according to the Australian).AP Erebus wrote:According to Robo on AFL 360, Dons offered $700k/yr over 4 years and the Saints were offering about $100k less (he didn't say if that was 3 or 4 years).

He left for money and/or security - nothing else - and personally I have no problem with that. Gerard is being mischievious by suggesting otherwise.

Re: Brendon Goddard set to sign with Essendon
Re Goddard's greed, well, he might be footing the bill for family expenses (if you know what I mean). So I'm reluctant to judge him.
