ESSENDON recruit Brendon Goddard says his club making James Hird's post-game speech public after their stirring win over Fremantle should never have happened.

Hird and captain Jobe Watson were filmed addressing their team after the Bombers came from 37 points down to defeat the Dockers in a thriller at Subiaco, with the footage then included as part of the team's weekly highlights package "The Hangar".

In the video Hird thanked his players, said they had run Fremantle "off their legs" and told them they'd have to soak up more pressure if they wanted to play finals.

But Goddard tonight issued a surprising warning to the club's football and media departments, telling 3AW that the release of the footage was an "error" that "should stay in-house".

"To be honest we talked about that and touched on it today. It's probably an error from the footy department that it didn't get run by them first."

"That's kind of something that stays in-house and it's really personal and especially the significance of the night and the win too, that post-match address from Hirdy and then Jobe is quite personal for us and it's something ... that should stay in house."

Goddard went on to suggest Hird may not have known the footage was being published.

"It was probably an error somewhere along the line that it didn't get run by the coaches or something," he said.

The former St Kilda utility said the Fremantle victory was one of the best wins of his career and said he wasn't expecting much animosity from his former teammates when they clash at Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

"There will be a bit of drivel coming from Milney's mouth, but I've put up in that in the past. He'll try and give me a bit of a sledge here and there."

"I don't think there'll be too much of it. We'll just have a few personal jokes between us but I'm guessing I might cop a pie or a drink in the face from the crowd, that's probably the worst I'll get.

"It's going to be unique and somewhat weird but I'm also looking forward to it, to be honest."
