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

[The Warlord]

He also doesn't have to play exactly the same role imo

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Anyone know why he's not included on our injury list every week?

A photo I took of Goat yesterday. I can’t wait for his comeback - he deserves the world!

to be expected and I can’t tell if it’s just the angle, but poor guy, that atrophy is going to take some serious work

Don't know if that's a good deal or not. Might paint ourselves into a corner down the line

Bold strategy to have his leg replaced with a piece of dowel.

Is the dog interested in a lock down back role?

Going through similar stuff myself now after a big leg injury. It’s one of the biggest mental hurdles to see it happen.

I reckon he’ll be alright though, his only job in life right now is to get his leg back to full strength. Best care and nutrition available it shouldn’t be a problem if he takes his career seriously which from everything we’ve seen of him he does.

Just like Xerri, a rock solid BFNAAK, i have no doubt he will be back, rehab well, and pick up right where he left off, plenty of time on his side.

 

[R00StaR]

played what 12 games in 3 years? getting to mythical status I reckon, hes first picked in everyones team.

Perhaps not first but always in my best 22 for sure.

Well we do have Lmac still in the side stinking it up - a one legged goater is an upgrade

and Josh Goater are making steady progress as they continue their from their season-ending Achilles injuries.

"Both Josh and Callum are ... gaining strength and bulk through their calf muscle on the affected side of their Achilles injury. This will provide a strong platform to build upon in laying good foundations for their [next] phase of rehab," White said.

He spoke to the members pregame vs Collingwood. Nothing suspicious going on.

That Dulux dog would have to be about 40 years old now...

Like Blackfriars bobby, i suspect there is a congalone of dogs to fill the role

 

[DesertRoo]

With all our newly found speed, its going to be a big watch Goat coming back from injury.
He could be anything still.

He's a huge cog for our tilt at finals in 2025 and beyond.

In even his limited AFL time pre-injury it was obvious that this kid oozes talent and footy IQ.

I will be genuinely shocked if he doesn't end up being a 200+ game player for us assuming he can stay healthy.

Just throwing around magnets,
McKercher moves to a wing.
Goater talks his place at HB with Fisher the other side, add in Archer and you've got your backline kind of sorted.
Interesting times ahead. Especially if Hardeman kicks on, my guess he isn't to far away.

One things for sure, if everything comes together, we're going to be one of the faster and more fun teams to watch next year.
