@kangamerchant Do we have to trade for him?

Just on this. Not convinced he’s going at all but I reckon the pitch to him would be to come and play as an attacking mid/forward. His floor is a great two-way hard wingman. Seven-figure offers make perfect sense, this is what a modern footballer looks like.

@kangamerchant I liked Goaters game

Take it and keep going. Not loving how we’re playing at the moment but we are 8-7 with the season well and truly on. Haven’t been here in a while! 3 votes Harry ⭐️

@kangamerchant Hope springs eternal

@mc__11111 Feels like we’ve been talking about this one forever. So good for the young man.

We are ready for lift off 🔥 Go well, Josh Goater! x.com/giantroo/statu…

@kangamerchant @NMFCReserves Did he choose number 84 because it’s how many mid forwards we have on our list?

Ollie Griffin 🎥 Playing a deeper marking forward role and excelling for @NMFCReserves

@kangamerchant Can’t wait for no changes next week

Great day in the VFL: Goater - 22 disposals @ 95%, 9 intercepts. Hardeman - 27 disposals, 2 contested marks. Banch - 3.1 goals, 16 disposals. Griffin - 4.1 goals, 4 tackles. Whitlock - 3.2 goals, 4 contested marks. Dawson - 1.1 goals, 20 disposals, 3 contested marks.

@kangamerchant What are we actually thinking

Sorry Riley Hardeman. We know teams are chasing after you but we only select one player with both proper leg speed and defensive traits in our side, and given Tom Blamires played well last week, you’ll be back in the VFL again 👍

@kangamerchant Use it to give Zane more opportunities

Well. An Ollie Griffin debut is on the cards 🃏 3.2 and an assist on the weekend.

@kangamerchant Was he good today?

Pull the trigger North. Play him. Just play him!

@kangamerchant Regressed back to some terrible habits

Yuck. I’ll take the points but my goodness there’s issues, plenty. Goad with a great debut. Darling excellent. Sheezel great. Not sure why we drop Blamires. 🤢

@kangamerchant Do you think we’ve accidentally thought it was an NBA game this week?

Hopefully big Goady can bring the energy as Clarko said. Hold down the 2nd ruck minutes and bring a bit of an athletic edge to the side. #GoadnessGracious

@kangamerchant Just a bad football club with very deep scars unfortunately my friend

Can’t play Sheezel and McKercher at CBA together if that’s the output they’re giving on defensive transition. Why not play Curtis through the midfield? At least then Duursma might get chances as a deeper forward target too. McKercher might simply be best for us as a half back.

@kangamerchant The boys

George and Finn. 4th quarter ⭐️ Wardlaw: 13 disposals 5 score involvements 2 clearances O’Sullivan: 12 disposals 6 score involvements 3 tackles 2 clearances

@kangamerchant Jesus Christ

Selection pressure…

@kangamerchant They were all excellent

Thought our midfield was sensational today. Game ratings: Xerri - 21.0 O’Sullivan - 20.1 (career-high) Davies-Uniacke - 17.2 Sheezel - 16.3 Wardlaw - 15.7 Stephens - 14.8 McKercher - 12.3

@kangamerchant I like these changes, even if the backline still feels too tall

First game Tom Powell has missed since round 22, 2023. First game without either Aidan Corr or Toby Pink in 373 days. First time playing the small forward combination of Spargo and Konstanty.

@kangamerchant How far off do we think

Josh ‘the goat’ Goater - VFL Rd5 - 18 disposals, 5 intercepts, 7 marks. Managed from the VFL Rd6. Observed him matching up on Zurhaar, Duursma in preseason training contest drills and Callum Brown in the VFL. So 3rd tall role looks to be the plan here. Steadily building..

@kangamerchant 2/6 are not defenders The other 4 cannot kick or make simple decisions

Disgusting how quickly that fell away after such a promising chunk of footy. Too many suspect decision-makers users, particularly in the back half.

@kangamerchant 3-4 players short of being a good side Whether it’s the kids we have or players from other clubs

How about this though. FOS is a genuine ⭐️

@kangamerchant +5 turnovers

Another winnable game goes begging. Same story as vs Brisbane. Killed by our own mistakes, and some pedestrian defensive efforts when GWS are exiting D50. Yes we’re better, but that is incredibly frustrating - need to start winning. Passengers again.
