Oliver averaged 30 disposals in his second season and was All Australian in his third.I mean it took a while for Oliver and Petracca to come good too.
Hopefully this year we start to see some of our boys push along
Draper clearly for me out of those 3You might I'm taking Draper before those 2 others.
And what about PetreccaOliver averaged 30 disposals in his second season and was All Australian in his third.
Usually you can tell within the first few seasons

Apparently Sanders has an issue with the suggestion that Richmond can trade him despite evidence to the contrary presented several times.
He was but he was still a pretty good half forward in his first few years, getting 20 and a goal each week plus some midfield rotations.And what about Petrecca
Oliver was good early in his career, however Petrecca has been a slower burn?

Can they?
North could offer a contract that would take the Tigers cap to the brink given the stars on the list.
Petracca, like Dusty, had fitness issues so he couldn't impact a game for more than a quarter at most. His slow start is also slightly over blown, he still averaged around a goal a game and just under 20 disposals until he broke out.And what about Petrecca

Speed?Height
Contested Marking
Upside ....still learning how to play midfield
Strength ?
Speed ?
Watching him now in the academy v Geelong game .....but he's right up there to add variation & flexibility to our midfield
West AdelaideAlong with the 190cm .....that speed & marking is a real plus ....has to be in our shortlistSpeed?
Strength?
Josh Goater is one of the quickest mids if not the quickest in this draft, and few if any could match him for explosiveness from the contest.
West Adelaide
West AdelaideOliver was a star almost immediately .....but Petracca was being talked as a potential flop, having talent but not the workrate .....potentially being a permanent HFFI mean it took a while for Oliver and Petracca to come good too.
Hopefully this year we start to see some of our boys push along
Wouldn't be unhappy to draft him, certainly has a few points of differenceThe Draft Central summary of Goaters game Vic Metro v Country
Josh Goater (Calder Cannons)
2/06/2003 | 190cm/79kg | Midfielder
The Calder Cannons prospect has had a rich vein of form and that continued again with the athletic midfielder improving his draft stocks once more with a strong game. Goater showed plenty of traits you want to see in a midfielder with his ability to escape congestion via a burst of speed or spin out of tackles. He showed great composure in those situations, which was highlighted in the second quarter as he rode a Ben Hobbs tackle, who is one of the toughest and strongest tacklers in this year’s draft crop. Standing at 190cm his ability to show off his athletic traits along with his obvious talent with ball in hand will make him a very sought after prospect come November in this year’s draft. Goater’s kicking was the one area that let him down at times but his run and carry on the outside and his composure and skill by hand from stoppages was impactful. It couldn’t be doubted that he was amongst the very best players on the day, finishing with 23 disposals.
Given that two SA kids are coming out of contract next year, it opens a lot of doors too via PSD.
With potentially first "COVID Free" season, it wouldnt be a bad time to finish in the bottom 4 and complete our rebuild with early picks again.

Josh Goater
Calder Cannons/Vic Metro | Midfielder/Defender
2/06/2003 | 190cm | 79kg
Snapshot: A big-bodied midfielder with explosive athletic traits and clean hands on the inside, Goater is a prospect with great potential and versatility.
Goater lays claim to one of the more impressive athletic profiles in the draft pool, particularly in a power sense. His explosive turn of speed and impressive vertical leap are traits which catch the eye at testing events and are transferred on-field, with the Calder Cannons product able to produce exciting passages of play. He has proven his worth in midfield with good ball winning strength and clean hands on the inside, but can also roll out to a wing, pinch-hit up forward, and has proven his class off half-back. He is another who stakes his claim on high upside.
Last month:
Goater technically made an appearance in August, albeit on the first day as his Calder Cannons beat the Murray Bushrangers. The talented utility continued to showcase his versatility, starring in defence with 28 disposals, 11 marks and eight rebound 50s before Metro regions again went into lockdown. His intercept marking ability and clean kicking skills proved weaponous.
The versatile/hybrid types
Hybrid is a bit of an in-vogue word at the moment, but in this sense we’re talking about the players who are versatile and can impact in other areas of the ground before eventually becoming more permanent midfielders, or pinch-hitting there.
There is a good handful of first round talent which suits this mould, starting with South Australian Arlo Draper. He fares well at stoppages and can certainly get his hands on the ball there, but adds a point of difference with his ability to take marks and kick goals up forward. He has been more of a midfielder-forward at Under 18s level, but has spent more time among the front half in senior grades.
Prominent Sandringham Dragons pair Josh Sinn and Campbell Chesser are players who have notable outside traits, including their speed, line-breaking ability, and kicking skills. Both have developed across half-back and the wing, but can just as capably play on the inside and are true metres-gained assets in all roles.
Along with the above pair, Josh Rachele has been a standout throughout the pathways and while he has more often been used as a half-forward for Murray and Vic Country, can certainly impact with his speed and skill in midfield. From small to tall, Josh Goater is a big-bodied type on the inside who can essentially play anywhere. He has clean hands and unreal athleticism, which boded well for his most recent move to half-back with plenty of run and intercept marking.

Thanks. Sorry I was just going off the misinformation posted earlier on here.he’s not a free agent. He’s just an uncontracted players, standing opposite the wooden spoon team, asking them to pay him lots of money.
that team has no.1 pick in psd.
it’s a match.
Whatever pick but he's top of my list as the difference maker in this draft that should be available to us, though I suspect he goes higher than most are predicting.Josh Goater is my pick for #4
Has lots of traits that we need in our midfield
And what about Petrecca
Oliver was good early in his career, however Petrecca has been a slower burn?

You might be right, but I’d be shocked if he didn’t make it to pick 4Whatever pick but he's top of my list as the difference maker in this draft that should be available to us, though I suspect he goes higher than most are predicting.
Harry, Pedlar and Pick 4 is a pretty good start.
Berry will be a very capable soldier, as will McHenry. Crouch and Laird will still be around for long enough to make a difference.
Dogs have more midfield depth than Melbourne yet got blown apart.
I wouldn't be all that shocked when people are talking Erasmus and Callaghan at that point, I think Goater stacks up exceptionally against those two personally and I cant see him as being in the pick 15 -20 range most have been predicting to this point.You might be right, but I’d be shocked if he didn’t make it to pick 4
