Player Watch #22: Taylor Goad - the Unicorn - club says sent for scans on ankle not knee after 18 Feb training incident

[ferball]

River? How can you say he has something, when he's shown... nothing? I can't even recall any VFL highlights.

Wrong Stephens. Edited.

I kind of forgot about River.

I think they're both fairly bland. Dylan less bland but still vanilla

He can run, kick well and plays the wing properly pushing all the way.

He also showed alot more heart last year than his first half a dozen games.

But he is physically weak or soft.

 

[Devski]

CCJ isn't fit to be this blokes waterboy

 

[roos_fanatic08]

That was really bloody good by Trembath.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Dov’s pressure has been good, nice to see him get reward for it

 

[ferball]

Anyway...

 

[Chip Scab1]

Yep. Highlight of the day. This kid is incredibly likely.

 

[shintemaster]

Covers the ground very well. Is super fast. Disposal is genuinely reliable, like a player 15cm shorter to be honest.

For a mythical beast, he looks very likely to play genuine football for us in the long term and reckon whilst he'd get shaded in the 1's he would also be an absolute headache for some opponents even now.

Agree, just can’t do to him what Collingwood did to Josh Frasier

Absolutely. No need to rush him - especially with the laughable reversion of ruck rules meaning injuries more likely - but I think he would be an entertaining player this year at AFL level if push comes to shove. Should look to really start to asset himself in the VFL over the next 12-18 months.

So in a nutshell how did Goad Friday go.

Electric. Amazing. Steal of that draft.

The boy can play.

Even sweeter if he develops into a star as tied to “shithead “ Judas

That's quite the nutshell Chip Scab.

That's quite the nutshell Chip Scab.

I may have added some Mayo (we both tend to like)...

He's wonderful. Can kick. Can move. If he takes a pack mark under some heat, I'll grab the Kleenex and pass you a few sheets.

Succinct enough?

 

[kanga kanga kanga]

Hahahahahah and we got this guy for that whiny sook, how good?

**** port.

He genuinely has the attributes to be a superstar. Seeing him take ground and dispose by foot you would be forgiven for thinking he was a tallish midfielder. Quite the freak.

Makes the weekend.

So in a nutshell how did Goad Friday go.

Just saw the highlight, BGZ kinda going back with flight... sake, hold the phone.

I can't wait for Casey Fields next week. Not that I'll go or watch, but ****, already can't wait for the giant strides my boy FBGZ WILL make.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Had his way with every other ruckman on the ground. There was a little period where he marked everything that went near him both offensively and defensively. He kicks it like a mule, he runs like a 183cm midfielder, and once he figures out that you can tap it to the advantage of your own midfielders, he will be a genuinely good centre bounce ruckman.

He's 20 years old. When he's 26 years old he could quite frankly be anything. He could be the best player in the comp by then.

He's a freak compared to where he was two years ago, when he was freshly drafted.

His improvement is incredible. He reads the ball alot better now, understands where to run generally and backs himself in contests. He's fast enough and big enough thaat he should win most. By 26 he could be as good as that other gangling, giraffe like player. Not as good a kick (yet?) but his marking has come on in leaps and bounds.

Yep looking like another win for our recruiting staff.

 

[muttley45]

Tank permitting, what if, he was stationed on a wing to use his pace, and also be a great outlet marking target, a bit of back up ruckwork when Xerri is off the field, would be a bit of a nightmare match up for opposition coach's

 

[King Corey]

Yep looking like another win for our recruiting staff.

Bro...

Love your enthusiasm but let him at least debut before notching the bedpost.

I think it's time to add some 'Recruitment Premierships' to your signature, sir. I suspect we'll be looking for our fourth in five years this coming draft
