Goddard would be a good pickup now with Docherty out for a year on the LTI.
Think he would add more from a leadership side of things though, and raising training standards.
Like Shiel to us
Cant see Setterfield or McGovern adding what Goddard could
Didn’t FC get a “genius” sports conditioning guy from Hawthorn to run their fitness program this year? If so, one would want to know whether Plowman had been brought back too soon under that guys leadership. Plowman is only 5 months post injury. OK, the Collingwood player came back in about that time, but not all cases are the same.
PS my mistake. This is about Docherty, not Plowman. Docherty is about 12 months post injury.
l never like to hear of a serious injury to any player. l much prefer to see players and team at full strength. Bad luck for the guy, hope he is able to recover. The second major injury to the same knee, must raise questions about whether or not he will be able to come back and be as good.
