Player Watch #31: Josh Goater - re-signed until the end of 2026

[The Nostradamus]

Plays every game next year

And wins the rising star award

Our best today imo with CT and LDU

 

[RossHenshaw]

Just wow, we're quietly amassing an arsenal, just don't tell anyone before the PP's

Gee I’ve only been calling for his debut for 10-12 rounds

 

[shintemaster]

Extremely promising debut. I thought he was great for a first game, shame he didn't nail that goal.

 

[giantroo]

 

[blackshadow]

The highlight of today

 

[hilly]

Mind boggling he made his debut r23. Has all the tools to play well at afl, especially on a quick deck at marvel.

We love parking talent in the VFL.

[Psicosis]

Has that same lateral movement step that LDU has. Same size as well. I got them confused a couple times today, which says it all. He is an excellent prospect.

Unit. I didn't want to go too hard as probably need the replay to know but I think conservatively amongst the best half of our team today which is an excellent result. He has serious tools to play with, fast, big, already strong.

 

[viccles]

Lock for next year

 

[Nylex]

Was one of our top 5 players today

 

[RossHenshaw]

Lock for next year

Nah … I don’t think he’s “ticked all the boxes yet “ apparently…..
but Lazzaro ,Bonar & Mahoney had ?
GGF …. Noble & co.

 

[amaz199]

great game

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Looked like he belonged at the level.

First kick of his career and he picks off a kick that 90% on the list wouldn't have tried outside of maybe JHF, Hall and Powell. AND he nails it, leading to a goal.

 

[Engimal v3]

Love to see a BFNAAK go well on debut

Yeah that was bloody amazing

 

[Hojuman]

Was bigger than l expected.

 

[Roosurgence]

Clarko just went tick.

Looks like a player.

 

[RossHenshaw]

Was bigger than l expected.

Looked like a 2nd 3rd year player in Physique & ability.
I’ve been a huge fan of Powell but I’m sorry but if he can’t put on some weight…. He ain’t going to make it .
I’m sadly starting to concede….

 

[giantroo]

 

[Merlin007]

Reckon I’ve been proven right here.

Just looked like he belonged at AFL level.

21 disposals, 5 marks. Impressive debut.

It’s a good sign that it’s his best game of the season at any level; one of those who does better in the higher grade

I was surprised Bergman got a game ahead of him, not for game impact but for the reason you point out; Bergman could be good, but atm he’s under sized compared to Goater, who already looks strong across the shoulders

didnt just look strong, held his own physically on a number of occasions.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Quick, tall. athletic and can find it. WHat am I missing?

 

[muttley45]

Good debut, bar the missed goal, had him in my votes, so well done Goat
