A true professional. Came to the club as a top up & could have simply gone through the motions & collected some cash. Instead he set a standard & example we desperately needed & more than earnt another contract. IF he wants it I would love him to remain at the club in some capacity.

Sooooo… announcement video. Blue is seniors, red is not. Colyer is out.
(Then saw Parish was also in red. Maybe not.)
(Then I watched the press conference and right at the start I almost thought he was going to use a different f-word… Thanks for not editing that out, EFC!)
Been fantastic for the club.
Thank you.

The announcement video taught me that Chris Scott makes people hate football. I suppose I could have guessed that.

Have really enjoyed him being at the club. Lots of players don’t see out the twilight of their playing career as well as Pops has. Will have been an invaluable influence on quite a few of the young guys but some of the more experienced players too, such is his high level of football intelligence.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see him coaching in a few years.

All class, and total respect for answering the SOS call last year. He was the stand out of all the top ups and held his place on ability and skill. Goes out of the game on his terms.

Can’t thank this guy enough, absolute champion.
I loved that he said he had a foot in each camp (Geelong and Essendon) and felt like he was tied to both.

Thanks for the service!

Yes, really?
I believe Rolo was making a quip involving the Father/son rule.

But does anyone seriously think his sun would choose the Bombers over the Cats?
You bet they do.

Been great for the club, enjoyed watching him play. LOL Geelong for letting him go.
If he played another 3 seasons with us (required to hit 100), it would mean he’d have spent his last 5 seasons playing for Essendon. That would be during his kids formative years. He might also stay involved post career. That would all influence his kids as well.
I’m hopeful that if Goddard has any sons (no idea) they’ll choose us.
Hell, North have the problem that because they’re in Sydney, Longmire’s kids joined the Sydney academy. They may choose Sydney over North if they’re good enough. So kids switch allegiances.
