2009 season
In his third season at the club, Tyson Goldsack played in 12 senior matches while contributing in nine VFL games.

The 22-year-old was unable to maintain a regular position in the AFL side due to the success of the backline and will be one of the many players battling for a senior position before round one.

Goldsack improved his disposal efficiency in the AFL working it by foot at 83.1% (71.1% in 2008) while by hand at 81.5 % (74.1 % in 2008).�

Adding to his finals experience, Goldsack played in both the semi final against Adelaide and in the preliminary final loss to Geelong and now has featured in seven finals matches which will prove invaluable experience for a player early on in his career.

A strong second half of the season saw Goldsack play eight matches from Round 13 to the end to the year (he missed five during this period).

With 45 AFL games under his belt, Goldsack's 2010 season should see him blossom into a consistent player that Mick Malthouse and his coaching staff can count on to stand up to September pressure.

Career
Taken with the club's final pick in the 2006 AFL Draft at No. 63 overall,  Goldsack debuted in round eight and played every game bar one thereafter, including three finals, for a season total of 17, which culminated in winning the Harry Collier Trophy as the club's best first year player.  2008 was a defining year for the 21-year-old playing 16 games including two finals appearances.  A standout performance against Sydney in round 21 proved he is capable of playing in big games.  In 2009 he managed 12 AFL games in the second best backline in the league.
