Goddard wins B&F

[Moods]

I know this probably belongs on opposition forum - but thought it interesting. No way he played as well as he did in 09/10 yet couldn't snag a B&F. Maybe bombers list not as strong as they think - or maybe he was the only one still concentrating the last 4 weeks of the season?

[Spinner]

Played a full season - Could have a similar system to what we had/have which heavily favours playing 22 games....

First B&F for BJ? Seems Essendon are doing well with the first year of the contract, risk is certainly reducing for that very important fourth year right now.

[Dr Spaceman]

Probably rigged so that they don't have to strip him of it when the druggies get done for druggin

[Con Gorozidis]

Dont mind if he wins 5 b and fs but ill spew if he wins a flag.

[BigMart]

Had a very consistent year.... Deserved his award

Continues the trend
Stewart.... Brownlow and premiership
Greene...... Multiple Premiership, b&f Leigh Matthews Trophy
Lockett...... B&F and three colemans multiple AA
Hall............ B&F Premiership and multiple AA
Guerra......... Premiership
Everitt........ AA
Ball ............Premiership
Goddard...... B&F

North are looking good next year?....

[SainterK]

Impossible, a dud, past his best, medically wouldn't play every game, front runner etc etc

[MCG-Unit]

Did Goddard really win Ess B&F? He was meant to be no good, can't find his own footy, cruising, remonstrates with team mates <insert other shortcomings here>

History is often re-written when someone leaves the club.....

[tweedaletomanning]

Can someone please give an example of when WE have made another club look stupid?

[sunsaint]

Its a clause in his contract

[ctqs]

He never won one with us to my knowledge, but he's a good player in a crap team these days. Plus he's their highest-paid player so he should win it.

[skeptic]

i didn't think his season was that good

[saintsrus]

Im going against the flow here and saying congrats BJ

[Cairnsman]

It's because we are in disarray

In the end it all comes down to $$$$$$

[Dan Warna]

we lost a lot of games by a handful of points, goddard would have been the difference between finishing in the middle and towards the bottom.

He is probably responsible for 2 or so goals if not more for essendon.

Very good player, sorely missed at st kilda but we couldn't match what essendon was offering on and under the table.

Essendon hopefully will have more charges laid by asada and get screwed over again

All the rest are Premiership or AA or Brownlow so it doesn't really continue a trend.

T

tommy walsch.

But they got Buddy through a farcical 10 year deal so don't care.

Craig Devenport to Carlton for pick 17
Pick 17 used on Hall
Hall to Sydney for pick 13
Pick 13 used on Dal
Dal to .....

Carlton the gift that keeps on giving.

What did we give up for Schneider and Dempster?

Roberton?

[Rosco]

Roberton was free

Scneider & Dempster were traded for 2007 pick 26

[plugger66]

Always a very good player. We let him go for reasons that make sense to me. Yep we may have won 2 or 3 more games or no more. Who cares. We still finish down the bottom of the ladder and in 3 years time are still paying 750k a year. At the Saints he didnt deserve to be the highest paid player based on his performance for the last 2 years. We did the right thing but there are people who will always find fault. No need to find fault, we make errors that are obvious to everyone. So does every other club but of course we know our club better.

Yeah, we should never let anyone leave just in case they have success elsewhere and then we feel disappointed.

[BigMart]

Gehrig was a good get for Pick 18.... Two Colemans andAA

WCE wouldn't have cried over it..... Daniel Kerr was selected with that pick

We did get Hickey for BJ, a future 10 year AA Ruckman

[longtimesaint]

Stephen Milne from Essendon -275 games, 570 goals

Do you really think Hickey will be a future 10 year AA ruckman? I dont think you think that. I suppose its a good way of continuing to hang it on the club. Didnt we get other players as well?
