2013 Player Profile: Brendon Goddard

[TeeJay]

Always my first picked

[Ziplock]

I mean, was already a lock, but

Goddard played 205 games for the Saints after being their No.1 pick in the 2002 national draft and was used in a variety of roles, but Essendon coach James Hird wants to use his star recruit in a key midfield role alongside skipper Jobe Watson in 2013.

"He has been recruited to play in the midfield," Hird said.

"He is a very versatile player who has been recruited to add another dimension to our team but we think he will play a lot in the midfield."

go go go.

Stanton could legitimately be worth a look now...

[Toga]

yeah i've seen a number of sources on that now, he's definitely been locked in for me!

and i'm still not sure about stants... i'm tempted to take a punt on him and maybe upgrade him after round 11 bye but I'm still just not sure :-/

[Sweetness]

Yeah I'd be tempted to get Stanton, but his rd13 bye is shared with too many other super premiums.

[The_Captain]

Is he going to be the back/forward swing player. Or mainly midfielder for essendon? I sure hope just Mid.

The words that lower the confidence here are "versatile" "we think he will". Will still have him but for sure!
