Nothing like a good light bulb moment. -
28 - 29 in January next year
He'll be 30 before he's playing "Swans" footy. Too old.
Goddard's 27 (28 in May), may be just too old, but I'd take him. Always liked him. He's had a tough year this year.The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.Comment

He's relatively old and an inside mid. He's got ability; his season last year was quality, but nevertheless his approach to this year after losing the vice-captaincy and a place in the leadership group is questionable.
Honestly I wouldn't mind taking him, but I'm finding it hard to see his place in the midfield. Is this the club anticipating Jude's departure?!
I would much prefer Tippett, but his value is sky high for a decent, but not brilliant key forward. Further, Adelaide has more to gain from the GC or Brisbane. Our team full of rejects, rookies and odd-balls hasn't got much in terms of trade bait.
Goddard is an interesting proposition. From the outside looking in he seems incredibly attached to the Saints, but the way he is playing now reminds me of the way Goodesy is going. Trying hard, almost too hard to get himself in the game, but completely unable to be influential. I think he could benefit from a change, but I don't think he's going to leave tbh.Comment

Goddard hasn't re-signed yet so either GWS or us would be very possible.
There will be lots of room in the salary cap when Moore retires and Jesse and Meredith go.
Nothing like a good light bulb moment.Comment

Actually, I think we did pay overs for Jesse. I remember he had a couple of blinders at FF just before Gold Coast came online and we thought he was going to be our messiah. I had to lock him in pretty quickly and he has done nothing since. I think if we keep hi it will be on a big reduction.Comment

If we did get Maloney, could we please contract him to play in long sleeves.Comment
-
I don't want Maloney and I definitely wouldn't want Goddard either.Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

We won't need Goddard - we have Gary Rohan.Comment
-
We need a key forward, Tippett or Cloke would do nicely.Comment

I see Moloney has officially declared his hand now as a free agent.
I think he'd be an excellent fit for our midfield. We lack for an explosive clearance player, especially at centre bounces. Kennedy is excellent at winning the ball and feeding it out, but he doesn't provide that explosiveness out of the middle. Goodes can but usually only when the ball is palmed in his direction - he doesn't tend to win it off the ground, or in heavy congestion. Jack has the explosiveness, but I think he is better at around the ground contests, rather than centre bounces.
Regardless of how this year pans out, I think this year's performances warrant the club doing what it thinks it needs to do to win a premiership in the next season or two, while we still have Goodes, ROK and Bolton. There is enough improvement still potentially to come from the likes of Parker, Reid, Johnson, Jetta and Rohan (and hopefully Mitchell) for us to think we can stay with the likes of Adelaide, West Coast et al as they also improve, and hopefully a short neck ahead of North and Richmond.
Moloney wouldn't cost anything at the trade table, probably wouldn't cost a huge amount salary cap wise, as I suspect he is after first grade opportunities in a decent side, after several years of the Dees struggling. At his best he is a super player and could have two or three good to very good years left in him.Comment

Too old - give us some new blood.
Mids are working well.
We need a CHF or FFComment

I can see it now - Mummy palms the ball to Kennedy who extracts the ball to Mitchell who deftly handballs a lightning-quick ball to Maloney who streams downfield and kicks to .....
sideways.Comment

No No No
Too slow and we have players like him but better
I would take Sylvia (kicks goals and quicker).Comment
-
Would be a perfect fit for us I reckon.
Putting aside what you would have to pay for him, why would anyone not want Goddard?Bloods

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months.

1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification

It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.
