Damian Barrett says part of the reason for Todd Goldstein's dip in form is a private, family issue.
Goldstein was dropped by the Roos for their clash with the Bombers, with the star ruckman telling Channel 7 he is "a little bit off".
"It is a reason for what he’s going through," Barrett explained on the Friday Huddle.
“I’m not going to delve at all deep, but he’s got a private/family issue that is part of what he’s going through on a daily basis now that (he) is obviously weighing up, and in the overall big picture, and is part of the problem he’s got with form at the moment.
"That’s a reflection of the views of people at the footy club. Again, we're not going to dive in and delve into the specifics."
Luke Darcy said it might explain his form.
"I'm glad you put it on the public record, because...you think of your own life, when you've got something happening on the home front that is causing you stress, it's very hard to go out and perform in a combative sport," he said.
