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

[Heaps of fun]

Goater, Wawson, Hardo and Arch. Also not mathematically true but Daniels counts for two.

Another third tall/general defender and young KPD in that draft necessary to get a good size group in a similar age bracket.

The trip to Qatar was a big success, they've identified a few minor issues with his running gait (most likely due to his Achilles surgery) and some imbalances in his legs. Best thing is they've got short term, medium term and long term strategy to fix the issues.

The Goat had been struggling a bit mentally with the injury setbacks, but has renewed confidence that he'll not only get his body right but be able to improve and get it to a high level so that he can reach his potential.

Fingers crossed that he can put all of the injury concerns behind him now.

Fantastic news. And kudos to the kid for pulling out every stop to make a good fist of this footy business.

Leek Aleer available.

 

[speedy]

11 touches & a point on debut
11 touches & 2.2 the week after
8 touches and a goal the week after that
9 touches and 1.2 in a half against Adelaide, does his PCL, never heard from again

He was 187 & 82 when he came into the club. If he was healthy he'd be into his eighth season next year, probably with ~140-160 games under his belt as a high half forward/midfielder

He's as big a loss as we've had. Prototype midfielder size. Looked like he could actually put on weight. Soccer background, spatial awareness out the arseh*le.

Yep soccer convert, dropped soccer and went back to footy at age 16. From memory I think he had an interrupted first preseason too.

Walker attended Melbourne High School and graduated from the school in 2017 as the sports champion after winning Victorian state titles in swimming, athletics and cross-country. Walker played both soccer and football in his youth. He left football for several years to focus on soccer, but returned in 2016, when he was 16, to play for the Sandringham Dragons in the TAC Cup.

We ****ed him over good and proper.

Be on a lighter duties up until Christmas with a big block of strengthening, then expected to get stuck in post Christmas is what I've been told.

Someone should tell him he's allowed to get stuck in at Christmas. That's what Christmas is for

Presumably, the presence of Goad and Goater (pronounced Goader), implies the existence of Goadest. Although, given the 17cm height decrease from evolution 1 to evolution 2, he's probably a midget

All goaded out after that thanks.

Ever heard of a Thomas? Tarryn is his first name. Apparently he can be selected now.

Wow! I really like the renovations they have done at Arden St. The facilities are looking really good now. Almost up to the Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane standard of facilities by the looks of it.

Name is a good indicator

How's the standing vertical on him. Horse

Wearing a Villa shirt. He goes up in my estimations yet again.

I googled that term to work out what you meant.

Unfortunately, I do not have "safe search" enabled.

I have regrets.

Bad post imo. Expectations are minimal. Anything we get is a bonus. Everything crossed hoping, though.
