Chicken Shop Rumour

HardSaint · Sun 02 Oct 2011 12:54pm

on Friday, I was walking past my local chicken shop as was bailed up by the owner there, who excitedly pulled me in telling me of the news he has that I wouldnt like.
He's told me before that he's close to some people at Carlton and he's been pretty good with info (although inconsequential) in the past

Anyway, according to him Carlton are talking with BJ and he swears black and blue that Goddard will be at Carlton in 2013.

Do I believe him? I havent got a clue, i dont think could Carlton match the money that GWS would offer and i guess there are a whole lot of other factors that make this unfeasible but thought it was worthy posting it here

Goddard's out of contract... and will have free range?

Chicken shop sauce is usually good.

Unfortunately got EXACTLY the same mail from someone VERY close to BJ's management

Like lyin if he goes he goes, it would be up to the club to try and get something in return, but either way no point worrying about it.

Environmental ambassador.

Carlton would be hard pressed to 'legitimately' fit him in their salary cap. If carlton were to offer him 1m p/a that could be matched by st kilda with only 500k going to our salary cap. as at St Kilda we have the capacity to tuck him into the 'veterans' list, which affords a fair amount of protection.

If he does go, that would clear from our salary cap to go spend up big else where.

rumours abound.

forget about Carlton getting him without doing some dodgy deal like the Judd deal. But with the veterans list, how does that work and wouldn't it apply to Carlton?

Rumours s*** me to tears especially from Chicken shops.

Under current rules, Goddard can't go on the veterans list until 2015. Still, it doesn't loook like the AFL are going to be approving any more Juddy deals, so I think the odds of BJ going to anybody but GWS are slim. Carlton fans have been dreaming about this for years. It's not going to happen.

10 years service with the one club, so no Carlton cannot use it, unless the get him in 2012 goddard is there till 2021, possible but unlikely.

Andrew Thomson could not go on the vets list because we recruited him as a 24 year old.

All the more reason to lock him in in the next week or trade him if he does not want to extend his contract.

Carlton have been saying it for years. As did Lions re Riewoldt. Dont believe rumours cause thats all they are. I dont believe anything unless its official from St Kilda.

Agreed. Carlton would have to give up something amazing to get him, just as they did with Judd. Then again, we could just have blind faith that he'll stay and refuse all of Carlton's offers of pick 26 and a fringe player... no, that wouldn't happen to St Kilda....oh, wait a minute

Thats about it isnt it?

I mean, offer him a good deal - Id also suggest captaincy as I think he'd be good and if he says no......lets talk trade. I mean we aint gonna lose this guy for nought and be screwed along the way.

Right now the cards are in our hand......time to play them smart. Make a good offer, show BJ the loyalty and if that isnt reciprocated.....move fwd.

If they can't use Visy like deals anymore, how would they pay for him?

It has to be true, chicken shop and all that.
