Goddard unethical?

[andrewg]

Seriously?
Is this guy for real.......and I quote...."it's unethical that clubs are taking our players when we are most vulnerable?"

He is a delusional idiot. Hypocrite....

I hope they loose three of their best and we finished above the bombers in 2016-17 while he is running around with a walking stick and only two strands of hair trying to cover his comb over.

FFSake!

Who cares what 30 pieces of silver says

[Playon]

Pot,kettle.

Hope we join in on the bummers fire sale

[markp]

Goddard still likes to point.

Ironically 'vulnerable' because it is they who acted so unethically... It's called karma, bj, and it goes around.

[ozrulestrace]

And for him it's not the unethical concept of HIS transfer to EFC, it's the fact time just ran out for him.

So how well should we rate your judgment on the whole ugly unethical episode BJ?

Open Memo to Brendan Goddard: Before making a headlong rush for the (ahem) "moral high ground", consider the (ahem) "ethics" shown by YOUR club, and its head coach, in the preparedness it showed to ignore the risks to the long term health and welfare of the players, during the period of the Peptides programme, in order to gain an (unfair) edge on rival clubs. REPREHENSIBLE! (IMHO)

Bloody hell...so many will be licking his boots when he gets welcomed back as a past player.

Wish we had more class in dealing with this, instead of picking apart a sentence or two. As soon as he left the Saints, that was it, he is an opposition player, but who gave a tremendous amount for us and should be recognised for that.

200 game player for our club. FFS...

No need to start the queue yet.

Had to front up for that club too often, they hide behind him a bit

I think they are worried the other players might start growing extra heads while the camera is rolling.

[thejiggingsaint]

Goddard was/is a great player for us and for Essendon! I'm not going to cry over spilt milk, he's gone and we move on, but his attitude toward the "drugs scandal" amazes me! He would have more class if he simply got on with the job of representing the Essendon footy club on the field (which is what he's paid for after all) than giving moral support for indefensible actions by Hird and others.

He is not a druggie so that's why they use him as a propaganda machine.

200 game player is irrelevant in the face of the damned hypocrisy and ivory tower bulls*** coming out of Essendon. And Goddard is just another in the long line of Hird, Little, Thompson, Watson, Slobbo et al. Couldn't care less if he's a 200 game player, in this instance he's a complete twat.

Exactly.

But they don't have anyone else that they can stick in front of a camera that can honestly dodge the real questions. Expect it to happen more often.

It is quite amusing to hear Goddard's cheast-beating drivel after he chased the dollars to go from one club who wont play in another premiership for years to another club who wont play in a premiership for years. Should have stayed put and played his career out with his mates and helped build a new team, though he probably would have stuck the knives in AR's back like he did with Watters.

[fugazi]

Remarkable lack of self reflection

Considering Watters leaving some two seasons in...it is fair to say that it was not the players that were the problem.

It takes one amazing character to fall out with so many people so quickly and Watters achieved this.

wow i hear some crap on here but this takes the cake ....
few things need to be cleared up ...
firstly BJ leaving the club was in part about money it was also in part the club feeling comfortable with losing him considering the compo we got (both draft pick and cap space)

secondly i feel BJ would have loved to have stayed with the saints but two factors one Watters and two the fact the club were not exactly devistated about losing him prob played a big part on him taking the step away

thirdly i would say BJ was pretty devistated to find out what he had walked into at Essendon .. but it was too late to change that so he is trying to make the best of a poor situation .. he had nothing to do with the scandal so from his point he doesnt want to see his new teammate being picked off around him ... i would say he totally regrets going to Essendon (prob not regretting leaving us though) but he is loyal to the team he represents so if that meand toeing the party line he will do that

and finally BJ is a St Kilda legend and will always be as such

Wasn't the brother doing time for drug dealing?

So I wouldn't be 100% sure about bj and illegal drugs.

Not saying he imbibes, but he is not an absolute cleanskin where illegal drugs is concerned

[Con Gorozidis]

His name does have the word 'God' in it.

So its understandable he might get a bit high and mighty and preachy on occasion....

He should deliver an annual 'Sermon on the Mount'. It could be done atop 'Windy Hill'.

Couldn't care less if he'd played more games than Harves. Goddard assuming the mantle of moral umpire - in fact anyone from Essendon having the gall to assume that role - needs to be reminded of the hypocrisy, lying and cheating that they're trying to defend. Disgraceful. Goddard = f***wit in this case.
