Added Spice- Ess/Goddard Game !!
I heard Greg Denham on SEN this morning say that he KNEW that Goddard, as part of his negotiations with St Kilda demanded that he be the HIGHEST PAID player at the club this year as part of the 4 year deal he was seeking. Denham concluded that Goddard left PURELY FOR THE MONEY !!

Re: Added Spice- Ess/Goddard Game !!
I 'heard' he realised he wasn't going to get a 4 year contract, so wanted to sit down with the club to talk about a 4 year with terms, and Pelchen refused...

Re: Added Spice- Ess/Goddard Game !!
That is out and out arrogance by BJ if this is true.
To be the highest paid player you should be the best and most valuable player to the team.
I'm not sure he has ever been able to make that claim.

+100, I think on the back of 2010 someones ego has been blown way out of proportion, If he really thinks he deserves more than Riewoldt and co, im more than happy to see him in an Essendon jumper.Life Long Saint wrote:That is out and out arrogance by BJ if this is true.

Isn't Ameet Bains in charge of contracts/negotiations? And doesn't Ameet sit above Chris Pelchen? If so, it pokes holes in the "Pelchen Refused" story !!SainterK wrote:I 'heard' he realised he wasn't going to get a 4 year contract, so wanted to sit down with the club to talk about a 4 year with terms, and Pelchen refused...

Who would've guessed?
Gee poor BJ.
I'm sort of hoping Kosi will play knowing this.

Why what did Hird say regarding BJ. And by the way if BJ tells him something then why wouldnt he beleive it. There are still people on here who dont beleive what Denham said. I for one wouldnt beleive a word he says.

Someone is telling porkies.
Given Hird and his recent drug history I'll back the journo. Just a gut feel.

Well unless BJ told him money was the reason which I would doubt he would say then Hird id just saying what BJ said to him. It is lying at all. I have no idea what you are talking about.

Re: Added Spice- Ess/Goddard Game !!
What's Kosi going to do about it? Knock himself out on the goal post? Im sure the players would still be mates with BJ. No point living in the past. They are all seasoned pros.saintspremiers wrote:So Hird is a LIAR!Eastern wrote:I heard Greg Denham on SEN this morning say that he KNEW that Goddard, as part of his negotiations with St Kilda demanded that he be the HIGHEST PAID player at the club this year as part of the 4 year deal he was seeking.

The way I see it Pelchen adopted a 2 step program when he arrived.
1. Make sure we dont fall too low by getting some mid aged players on the list (Maister, Milera, Saad, Dunell, Hickey, Lee, Roberton) - TICK
2. Start the rebuild with youth - We have started well but expect this to take 3 years.
So paying big bucks for BJ didn't fit in with either 1 or 2 - so he wasnt prepared to to do it. I see it as a win/win for both parties. BJ gets his $$$. We stick to our plan.

Im not saying he isnt honest. Dont know the guy at all but he gets plenty wrong when he says he is 100% right. I think his contacts sometimes struggle.

Re: Added Spice- Ess/Goddard Game !!
Goddard was making noises that suggested he was going to leave not long after GF2. It is a fact that he wanted to leave the club and it wasn't just the money. He wanted a premiership and he wanted to play in the middle more.plugger66 wrote:Eastern wrote:Care to elaborate on your comments re Denham's honesty? !!plugger66 wrote: There are still people on here who dont beleive what Denham said.

Re: Added Spice- Ess/Goddard Game !!
Who cares, he's gone, and whilst I regret he chose to take the money above everything else, that's his problem and let's hope by the end of this season he'll be without a lot of his teamates and coaching staff, because just like they'd lied about Lovett, they lied to him.

that's what I thought but it's not clear though but you would you have to think that coach reports to Netters and the board.Old Mate wrote:Pelchen is the head of the footy depart. so dare say he's Watters' boss.SaintPav wrote:

Re: Added Spice- Ess/Goddard Game !!
I haven't asked that question but I reckon technically Watters reports to Pelchen. I'd be surprised if he talked to Nettlefold every day but I'm sure he talks to Pelchen frequently.SaintPav wrote:that's what I thought but it's not clear though but you would you have to think that coach reports to Netters and the board.
