if i was him i would be retiring the next game not the end of the season.....lol the crows aint going to be playing finals or anything....as if he retired the next game it would give some young player a chance of experiencing some game time and will develop him for the better next season.....

That came out of left field.

Out of the the 4 veterans, he was the last one that I expected to go and actually thought he had 1 or even 2 more years left in him......he certainly hasn't let his side down this year.

Burton on the other hand is a different story......he needs to say goodbye cause his best footy is behind him.

McLeod's knees have caught up with him, so get ready for some more news from him.

Tyson Edwards, reminds me of Roger James - the silent achievers that get the work done week in week out with no recognition by the VIC gurus yet always amongst the Top 3 BOG........don't know if he has another year left in him, maybe 1 more.

If they all leave this year, CROWS are in serious trouble next year cause these 4 (apart from Burton) haven't been anywhere near as bad as the 2nd tier players in your 22.......you're really gonna notice a big hole with Goody gone me thinks.

EDIT: Krishy, all common sense aside, any good team player would not abandon a ship mid way through a season........Goody is possibly the best club player the Crows have got........and that's coming from a Port Ferral!!

Yep agreed Pete, 9 times in the top 10 for club champion, and winning it 3 times, 2 premierships, handful of all-australian nominations, thats a decent career.

So whatever happened to not abandoning ship midway through the season aye......shows there is no loyalty towards the club or the fans

he isnt the captain, its different. I dont agree with pulling the pin straight away, I would rather see him stick the season out.

i see what your saying....but for a seasoned player he would know better....and isnt he in the "leadership" group....just as good as the captain

From what I understand it wasnt his choice to end his career this way. He was dropped from the side and didn't want to end his career as a struggling player having to work his way back though the SANFL so retired. Crows couldn't even promise him a farewell game......slightly disrespectful for a 300 game vetren...well done crows.

semi right Ryan.

He was dropped to the SANFL this week and spat the dummy.

Wanted a going away party so he was offerred the Freo game......possibly?!

Chucked a sooky and said, "I'm outta here effective immediately if I don't get my own way".

Coaching staff pretty much said, "don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out".

Still no way to treat a 300 game vetren (dual premiership player). They couldn't even promise him the Freo game as a last game it was still a "maybe"....I'ld be spitting the dummy aswell.

Kind of a shame that AFL players are held up to be people that are obliged to stay with any team for any amount of time.

Its like any job

You dont like it, fine, quit. Find another one.

Dude has as much right as anyone else to say 'f**kit im done' for whatever reason he deems fit

The manner of his departure will of course affect his relationship with the club, be it with farewell games/being a member of the crows inner circle after retiring etc, but considering the dude was 17 when he started and was present for both of the final wins, he deserves to go out however he wants. no questions asked.

off topic, im glad barry hall only got copped with a fine. if some cockhead knocked me over while i was doing up my laces i'd do the same thing

-D

I tend to agree with Damo with seeing the season out.

The 320 Gamer is now a life member with footy still figuring in his life one way or another (possibly), so why let your team mates down when they need you the most....Goody didn't.

Me thinks the McLeod dramas had a small role to play in his immediate resignation........hate each other with a passion, still.

No arguement that he's a champion, but the best of players have been dropped in the passed when they least expected it......no one is too good, remember the Blighty million dollar bench?

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
