Player Watch #31: Josh Goater - re-signed until the end of 2025 - ruptured Achilles injury vs GWS

[Benj7]

Bastinac v Fyfe situation in 2021?!?!

But reverse dummy!

 

[The Nostradamus]

Round 1. After training the house down all pre season.
HBF.

Would be huge the Goat and JHF debuting round 1

[DarkPhoenix]

Really could be anything this kid.

What an absolute top pick up, reckon I aged ten years holding my breath to see if he was gonna get taken the pick before ours.

 

[andana]

Joshua. I am The Goat, so that's what you call me, you know? That or, uh, Goater or His Goatness or El Goaterino, if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

The more I watch this the more I think young must be sitting there thinking “oh s**t, oh s**t, oh s**t...Oh. s**t.”

Billy?

Josh Goater = The Hell.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

Lol I didn't think it was possible that we'd have a more popular draftee this year than JHF but i tell you what, I reckon it's bloody close.

Josh Goater = The Hell.

Josh Goater = The Rogan

The Anti Atley:

- Has off the chart speed and actually knows how to utilize it consistently in game

- Has great agility in congestion and knows how to use his speed to get out of it

- accumulates at will and regularly has repeat possessions in chains

Yeah definitely a younger upgrade.

Pardon the intrusion, but thought I'd share a quick cut up video of the Goat in action for Country v Metro.
I made the vid as his athleticism stood out, and I thought the Hawks might trade up into the teens to get someone like Goater or Sonsie (who of course, then slid into the 20's).

I think he's a steal at pick 22, and his clean hands and jet-speed on the outside will compliment the likes of Phillips, Simpkin and Powell.
Does get a bit excited and butchers it when he puts on the after-burners, but pretty sure I read somewhere that his disposal efficiency is generally very high (so probably no great issue when he takes his time).

Anyway, its draft week, so everybody wins (except for Gold Coast, who can turn just about anyone into dogsh*t).

Thanks mate, appreciate it.

We had the Goat of the last century and now we’ve got the Goater of this century.

Athleticism and ability to win the ball and evasiveness looks elite. Kicking on the other hand looked ordinary at best, hopefully he can clean that up. Decision making seemed sound. I worry when combine average decision making with suspect kicking.
Let’s hope he develops well and plays plenty of footy for the club

Doesn't he run at 85%?

His games in defence it was 86% I thought.
Not when in the midfield. Which is to be expected.

 

[Sphynx]

His kicking technique looks excellent tbh. It's not a terrible action or ball drop. Looks very smooth.

Get him kicking the football every day in a professionl environment and he will sharpen up.

Not worried about decision making when he was playing in the middle and trying to break congestion.

The intent is there to use his pace and break the lines almost every opportunity, he's going to love the space on an AFL field imo.

I read somewhere that his kicking out of defence is pretty good. His kicking efficiency drops when he is in the middle. That suggests it’s his decision making in the middle more than technique. That can be fixed.

It’s the final decision with the final kick that seems to be the issue. As I said, it is very fixable as he doesn’t seem to lack composure under pressure.

 

[King Corey]

That's the best clip I've seen of him nice find.

 

[Shinboner1]

From the footage it looked like he was setting up a lot of shots on the run vs kicking straight to his team mates.
