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

[Themanbun]

I don't think he's ready

Same

 

[The Nostradamus]

Him or Perez should have played.

Both should be playing

There’s no point playing a cooked 32 year old hall who butchers it

 

[hellas_johnny]

defs has something to work with. i like how he moves he's quite agile. just needs better decision making on his kicking. seems to take the risky options too much

 

[The Nostradamus]

24 and a goal (Outside 50) off the wing and hbf

agree. I will say it once again . I was and am a big fan of Hally.
But its round 22-23 . We know what we have and are going to get with Hally . Why not bring in Goater by now ?
Give the kid the last 2 rounds to see what he is like at AFL level this season rather than go through the whole pre-season next year without him or us even knowing if he is up to it or not ?

Traditionally under an interim coach or when a season was shot sides would've deliberately rotate through their list to get a last look at players in the balance or a glimpse at others under AFL conditions.

I'm surprised we haven't had a look at Goater from the above perspective.

Should be given a game against GC

What have we got to lose

Pick #1 in all drafts

Pick #1 in all drafts

Something tells me Goater won't be a match winner is his first game but you never know.

Yeah how did that work out last time
We got a sook and a broken down Polec

 

[DarkPhoenix]

With the amount of outs we're likely to have I can't see how it would be a negative to throw him a game as a taste and as reward for his work.

Good point, just feel a decent off field team would use the threat of the PSD instead of trying to be nice guys.

Oh well

Adelaide did it with Hately in 2020, I guess.

Well done goat!

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Great way to announce it.

Where was JHF?

 

[Psicosis]

JHF unwell before anyone freaks out why he isn't in that video

 

[joegreen]

That makes 6 players to debut this year. Is that a record? JHF, Bergman, Curtis, Dawson, Archer and now Goater.

Well done son. Go well.
