IN: Hugh Goddard

[MadSaintFan]

Hugh Goddard will play this week. Looking forward to seeing the kid run around; will spend majority of his time back but expect him to play a few minutes up forward as well.

[MC Gusto]

Snap!

Was about to post the same. Just heard this as well

Also heard there's a real chance Goddard will become a key forward for us rather than a defender.

Either way i did hear just now that he's going to get a run

[MadSaintFan]

Agreed MC Gusto - very excited by this kid (more so than McCartin).
197cm and already ~100kgs. Took 7 marks in the wet last week v. Coburg in torrential rain. Exciting times.

[saintspremiers]

Is he ready?

I like us playing the oldies

[#gosaintas]

So it isn't 2009 any more?

[WinnersOnly]

I think he is ready!!! He already looks twice the size as the majority of his opponents and doesnt take rubbish from anyone! Is a great mark and will find the pace of the game as he settles in.

Great news and good luck Hugh!

[bennymac5]

Who is he in for?

[magnifisaint]

He's certainly Hugh G

[mr six o'clock]

Play him on riewoldt !

He couldn't do any worse than any of our defenders in the last five years

ffs !!!!

spencer the muso doesn't get a gig because of his 'tank' yet we're looking at debuting hughey !!!!!!! hughey ran out of gas when played up forward a few weeks back at Sandy.........ran out of gas before flowering half time ffs !!!!!!!!

maybe with roo's calf the go is that they play a flowering half each ?????????

dont get me wrong. i share the hughey excitement, but he's not fit enough yet ffs !!!!!!!!

[Gordo' Sumner]

and another flowering thing..........hugh is seen primarily as a forward ??????????

(insert the new word that plucker66 has learnt this week.)

i reckon the forward line could be the go for hugh.........but that means we'd need another key defender to help delaney.............and we're meant to be targeting flowering mids this draft????????????

ffss that's real (insert the new word that plucker66 has learnt this week) !!!!!!!!

[6621104]

Interesting!

[Con Gorozidis]

Some of his marks last weekeend in those horrific conditions were just unreal.
196cm and 100kg. Certainly big enough.

[Bowey Boy]

I don't think Spencer is gunna make it.

[FQF]

Jack Riewoldt in a sentimental match is a very tough first assignment.

[Goose is king]

Loved watching the little video on the website when he rang his dad to let him know
Good luck

[kosifantutti]

@AFL_PKeane: StKilda v Richmond;
Hickey, Templeton, McCartin, Goddard for Ross.
Maric, Lloyd, Dea, McDonough, Lennon for Edwards, Vickery.

[FQF]

Looks like Eli for Ross. I wonder which senior defender will get dropped for Hugh. If Roo plays I suspect Membrey may go.

Rolling eyes, FFS's, Flowering, multiple !!!!!s.

Now where have I seen that before?

Great to see Goddard debut. Dont care how he goes, it dosn't really matter, it's the beginning for him. He needs games!! Ross is very stiff to go out. One poor game after a 25+ posi game the week before. He's certainly being made to earn it. Can think of a couple of weeks where newnes, Dunstan have stunk it up and they aren't treated as harshly at match committee...Great to see Eli back, and hopefully he has regained more confidence after that horrific arm fracture. He is a classy player, clean disposal and good descion maker, especilally going inside 50 and really want him to get a good run at it. Good lukc to the youngsters, and hope Ross keeps his chin up, goes back to Sandi and dominates.

Reckon Ray may go out.

[Sobraz]

Ross was crap last week. Deserved to be dropped.

Good/exciting changes.

Is this some sort of joke? Newnes is a HBF'er and Dunstan while not being as dominant as last year due to a limited pre season is one of the best spread players in the team.

Ross 7 possessions and 1 clearance in three quarters of football, Dunstans 20 possessions and 5 tackles.

Ross deserved to be dropped especially with the likes of Eli and Murdoch putting up their hands.

So who is in for Riewoldt? If it's not McCartin Goddard may get parked at chf

Richo has already said McCartin will play if Roo doesn't.
