Re: Psd

Given there was talk of Prismall being offered some sort of Football Dept job, I wonder if they will employ him part time/full time in Goodes' role. If Goodes was on our list I would want him to be concentrating on playing AFL, so we would either need someone to assist him or take over his role.

Re: Psd

Nothing against Goodes but not sure I understand the thoughts behind drafting him over Prismall or even Bate??

Perhaps they have identified a need for another rebounding/running half back. Always liked his clean skills through the middle and half back for Willi

Yeah perhaps. I must confess that I haven't really seen a lot of Brett's football but I guess I'm looking at the fact that he's 28 and doesn't seem to have been on the AFL radar at all.

I'd rather Goodes than Prismall.

Where was Goodes playing at before? What were his stats like?

Think he played at Sunshine reserves and was averaging 27 touches a game...seriously dude look it up!

Re: Psd

Goodes seems a decent player at a position of considerable need - I'd be much happier to get him than Prismall whom we need as much as Chris Judd needs another environmental ambassador role.

Originally from NT Thunder. 27 touches average is very good. Does he have good disposal efficiency. From his Williamstown profile his played 105 games and got 52 goals.

It's tough to tell Eastdog, whether he has good disposal efficiency for the highest level. It's a big jump up from VFL to AFL as you'd know, so irrespective of whether he did in the VFL only being placed in the senior team could really determine that as the pressure he'll face in the AFL will find him out one way or the other. As far as I can tell, he doesn't have any technical issues with his disposal that should be of great concern.

From what I can gather he's in contention due to his ability to use the ball by foot linking defense to attack through the middle of the ground, so if he was played there it would be expected he'd be able to hold his own. You have to remember Murphy is likely to play forward, so we need a decent user to assist Howard in taking the next step in providing rebound in to attack.

I don't think it's a good use of a list spot. I like the idea of rewarding excellent performance from our feeder team, though at 28 he's not going to really adjust and get in to the swing of things until after a year on the list making him 29 by that time. If the club realistically thinks we're going to be contending for a finals position in 2014 and Goodes can assist in getting there then that's a bit of a different story, though if that was the case they're a little more optimistic about our prospects than I am.

He hasn't played at AFL level before and thats a very big step from where he is and he may struggle. Its like a small fish entering a big sea. Was Lower a good get.

Lower is versatile, and will help bolster both our midfield and defense.

I think the club is really working towards adding depth to our midfield, and it seems they're going about it by choosing secondary midfielders who can do a bit of grunt work and accumulating as well as helping out in other areas across the ground.

Like all of our recruits to this point, I think he has been selected with a purpose in mind, though it still remains to be seen whether he'll be a consistent player for us.

Hopefully our midfield can eventually be as good if not better than it was in 2009. Our ball movement needs to improve as well. Jake Stringer one poster said somewhere on another thread is touted as a full forward for us down the track.

Re: Psd

Goodes can be as good as Vezpremi or Djekurra, who we have persisted with, from what I've seen. We need a bit more maturity and hardness of blokes around that age, and hey, can't hurt to have your welfare officer running around out there. As soon as someone's injured or in a scrap you can get your counselling done right there on the field saves time!

A good vfl player but that's his level. Also at 28 his time has past.

He works as a development coach at the bulldogs.

Going to be a surprise for many if he gets a spot!!

Re: Psd

Goodesy's big brother Adam is still playing top footy and is 32 next month. Might run in the family. Could play 3 to 5 years with us. Who knows.
