Goose?
Time to find some form in the magoos.
I really think Goose is up himself. He has done nothing to indicate he is ready to play senior football.
Seems to me that he thinks because he is a media performer that he must be as good a footballer as he was before he broke his leg.
He was on the verge of being great. Unfortunateley he has not got anywhere near that level. He has either not got close to his previous form, or his head is ahead of his body. I feel it is the latter.

so if you are no good you are up yourself. Why?Bernard Shakey wrote:Time to find some form in the magoos.

Not defending the performance of Goose.
But do people on here actually understand how difficult it is to remain defensive within the defense, as well as attack and run off.
Very Very difficult.
And plainly, a lot of people can't actually see defensive play on TV.
Very very hard to please from defense. As people mostly only notice the running, leaving the man attack.

agree, deadset appears to be up himslef, needs a kick up the arse. he is better than what he is producing atm.
Well thats obvious given we all remember when he went one on one with Jonathon Brown in Round 6,04. Then again how many players can we not say can do better than what they are doing now?

plugger66, I never said he was no good. I said he is up himself, because what I observe at training is a person who believes he is above his teammates.
I may be wrong, but this is the impression he exudes, and I am not the only one to feel this way. Max probably does also and I would take much more notice of Max than anything I have to say.

So Max had a comment to say to him so he is up himself. Now i am confused.Bernard Shakey wrote:plugger66, I never said he was no good. I said he is up himself, because what I observe at training is a person who believes he is above his teammates.

plugger66, I said he is up himself, not Max.
I stand by my statement. In my opinion, he is up himself and I don't care what you think.
If you think he is the greatest thing since sliced bread, or is carrying an injury, or whatever, good for you.
I think he is up himself.
I also hope he gets his head together and starts playing the football we all know he is capable of.

simple really, I go to the games and watch him closely, check out his demeanor after he has coughed up the pill or beaten to it.. check out the body language.. almost like Fevola..throws the arms in the air..shouts obscenities while looking at the crowd, even Max had a crack at him.ark wrote:How do we know he's up himself and just not struggling after bad injuries and lacking form?
Ok coming back from injury...play him in the twos. he needs that.

Don't know what Goose's future holds. He's played one good game (vs Hall in 2006) in 3 years and is running out of opponents who he can keep up with. Too slow to match leading forwards, too short to spoil power forwards and no good at ground level. He gives away far too many easy free kicks, he's injury-prone and his kicking seems to have diminished.
He is absolutely up himself but I don't see what that has to do with his football form. Goose always has been and always will be his own biggest fan (although that probably goes for a large portion AFL players).

i looks like a guy who has been out of AFL football for a while
tonight he was alot better than last week, and i'd give him another go next round to see if he can show some more improvement
i don't think playing in the 2's is gonna help him, needs to get used to the pace of the AFL again

All posters are equal, but some posters are more equal than others.
don't know why people expect him to come back as a champion, he's gonna take a few weeks to get back into it.
he's virtually a recruit who we know can play at the elite level.
we gave time to lenny, and goose needs the same.
