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

[Roo Beauty]

Great stuff Josh.

The first of two GOAT announcements this week perhaps?

 

[Heaps of fun]

This easy goes into the top 10 for debut announcement vids.

 

[muttley45]

Well done Josh, have a good debut, i always have an extra soft spot for BFNAAK's

 

[zoomba23]

Not even two weeks ago, people with knowledge of the magoos team were saying they don't think he's ready for a senior debut. It's in this thread. So this comes as a bit of a surprise. Hope he kills it nevertheless

HE IS MAKING HIS DEBUT

How old is John Blakey?
PC: 62

Ahhh Paul, go out there and kick 62 on Darcy Mac for us this weekend, will ya!?

 

[Jasemon]

Fantastic setup there by Lukey Mac.
A smooth operator behind the mic and the Goat never saw it coming, which made this announcement so priceless.

Good luck for Saturday Josh and hopefully the first of many quality games streaming out of the backline and down the wing.

He's certainly looked more at home since he's been used more on a wing.

Running out of soldiers again this week

 

[Shack18]

Well done Josh and good luck, will be interested to see his tank

 

[hoffseason gains]

So excited to watch this guy in the seniors, I know there’ll probably be a few sloppy kicks but he’ll probably also do some things that wow us. Another kid who will crack in 100% for the blue and white.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Very well deserved
Keen to see him rebounding out of defence and Some time on the wing also

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Stoked!

Get the feeling that he’ll be one of those players that steps up to the grade and never looks back (much like Curtis has done this year).

Getting a taste will have him primed for a massive pre-season.

[jay317]

Glad he got a debut this season. This kid will be a very important part of our future.

fridge starting to look a bit fuller,

HE IS MAKING HIS DEBUT

I read Ligma's comment, read the club's tweet, and before watching the video, thought geeze I really hope this isn't our new way of selecting the team, via whoever wins a quiz

 

[ferball]

Onya Josh. Congrats.

Living the dream.

 

[LittleSizzle]

Pumped for GOATER. I appreciate that he has been a life time supporter of North. Fun to see how he goes. Enjoying the good energy being injected over the last 4 weeks. Everyone seems to of forgotten Noble now.

 

[Bren]

Loved this

 

[Mixed Results]

When they asked him what number he had on his jumper as a kid, was his response of 31 just a bit of awkwardness when he buzzed in with his own number? Or is he actually wearing the number 31 now as a tribute to his childhood hero David Hale

Reckon that was just LMac thinking that was his answer, and not realising he was buzzing in.

I assume the answer would have been #20 for the big Dish.

 

[groo]

In the past we have announced a debut to then make them a sub. I hope we have learned.

 

[RHLK]

Look forward to seeing the Goat run out Saturday. On first live view at him vs Sydney VFL was pleasantly surprised at his ready to go AFL build.

Sub comes from the emergency list. Josh is in the 22.

 

[Clarke is King]

Souup my friend, care to remind me where you rated Goat in his draft class and what you think we can expect from him as a player?
