Would We Want Goddard Back?

[murray 66]

Have heard that 8 Essendon Players have spoken with Matt Finnis about walking out on their current contracts with Essendon.
Would we be surprised if Goddard came back to the Saints on a much lesser contract.
I was surprised to see Goddard at the Saints last game and thought If he had realised what a mistake he had done.
Don't attack me on this,it is just a thought?

Love the Saints..................................

Will we have a spare Rookie spot?

[SainterK]

I wouldn't care, I'd welcome him back.

Not sure Pelchen would though...

[noob]

I wouldn't care either. I don't think the club would appreciate it though considering he turned the club's previous offer down.

[The Fireman]

on the cheap..no prob

[whiskers3614]

In a heartbeat
but we are not much closer to success than when he left
and we don't have Sydney's salary cap flexibility!

[70s sainter]

Who were the eight players not getting a game this year???

[Munga]

With open arms. Obviously wouldn't command as much $$$ as if he'd stayed.

[santazzi]

I will welcome him back with an open arm...but I am only a member of the club and I will not have day to day dealings with him...therefore there must be an open discussion involving all players and coaches (people who will have to interact with him) and a consensus reached before his return..

[murray 66]

Don't know the players,but was reported in the paper.
Remember I didn't state Goddard but wouldn't it be ironic if he was one of those players?

[gringo]

I think Pelchen and Watters would forgive pretty quickly. A grade talent doesn't come up often.

[Greg T]

At the drop of a hat,but I reckon he'll go to a bigger club chasing his flag,but w ho knows

[wolfpup]

Essendon players are sniffing around at options is 100% true.

[defacto]

for cheap yes. would be the ultimate f*** you to essendon. basically pick 13 for nothing

[asaint]

Yes.

[Munga]

Almost payback for Lovett. BJ would love to be back to finish with Roo, Lenny, Monty, Dal etc.

[ralphsmith]

i would personally throw goddard a welcome home party

of course i want him back

[Moods]

Yeah. Of course. for 400k he can come back. More than welcome.

[Con Gorozidis]

Yeah. Of course. for 400k he can come back. More than welcome.

+ 1.
hey Bomber can pay the balance!

[Con Gorozidis]

Yeah. Of course. for 400k he can come back. More than welcome.

+ 1.
hey Bombers can pay the balance!

[thejiggingsaint]

He'll never be back at St Kilda FC. Has made the break and will stay at Essendon. Story ENDED!

[Con Gorozidis]

yep
im pretty sure this is a tongue in cheek thread?
Noone actually thinks he would come back surely

[Watts the Buzz]

Door is always open for BJ.......still Red, Black and White pumping through those veins, it's obvious. He's gone away for a few years to top up his super but the prodigal son will be back.

He might come back one day as one of Lenny's assistant coaches

[plugger66]

No point at all unless he played for less than 400K a year. Anyway he is very happy at Essendon. They would have to be kicked out of the AFL for him to leave.
