according to 'supercoach paige' on facebook and also the 'AFL news-discussion' facebook page.

Goddard has signed a 4-year deal with Fremantle. Will be announced early this week  :o

[Cicjose]

Goddard has put in a conditional offer for a property in Applecross

add to the fact he is a member of the Royal Perth Golf Club

4 year 2.5 mill deal on offer apparently

[elephants]

[ossie85]

2.5m huh? Not as big as offers previously suggested

[KoopKicka]

Yeah. He would be making more money at st Kilda.

Another player for Ross Lyon to ruin in fantasy football.

Ok, so I'm a bit confused around the free agency rules - If this is true, does StKilda get anything in return for him?

Yeah so I am, do they get a compensation pick?

believe so

[Spinking]

I'd hope so. It's my main concern about free agency.

Actually don't mind losing Goddard. If he ends up at Freo he probably has a better chance of winning a flag there than here. Would be frustrated though if we lost him for nothing though.

+1 This surprised me. Ross is known for making slutty backmen (see Duff int he second half of this year) and M. Johnson.

After Broughton I've become rather pessimistic towards Ross Lyon.
