Looked like Ablett, and played a bit like him too, don't think he tried out in the SANFL but if he did i think he would have made it. Also played for Glencoe in the South East.

A few years back Goldsmith played for a NT rep side against the Western Bulldogs in a preseason trial game. Was close to best for the NT side that game and I remember reading that he had a few WAFL clubs trying to secure his services. In the end nothing came of it.
