But he is all we have due to Snoz' list building prowess...Xerri’s current statistical form is akin to Jy winning the BnF in years he butchered the footy and we were woeful.
He is not up to standard.

Just a tad!
The wraps on Goad are huge - so assuming he's ready to roll in second half of 25 or 26 - that leaves us playing them both or X playing his last 4 years in the VFL.
Even if all that's speculative, still no reason to add 4 years. No other Club would.
There's a pattern at the Club handing out marquee length contracts to non marquee players.
Good luck to him....to go from walking out to this...obviously worked his butt off....Until Goad kicks on..and that's awhile l understand the length....best wishes for him and hopefully continues to improve.
The only one that comes close to being a Shinboner along with Sheezel .Christ we’ve gone early. Big improver and shows promise but 4 years seems unnecessary given he isn’t OOC and hasn’t played a full season as solo ruck.
We love to hand out extra years to unproven battlers based off good form. Luke Mcdonald still has 2 years left ffs.
Brownlow Medalist - sensational, gutsy ruckman. Famous for his protective headband (forehead).When I think of a North ruckman, I think of Noel Teasdale. Its an age thing

l watched Goat today and he's at least 3 years away..he's not showing the enthusiasm needed to progress any further at the moment. Loves to ball watch and doesnt get involved unless its in his area and only runs at a slow pace...A lot of improvement is needed..Good luck to him....to go from walking out to this...obviously worked his butt off....Until Goad kicks on..and that's awhile l understand the length....best wishes for him and hopefully continues to improve.
You talking about Jacob Edwards or Taylor Goad?l watched Goat today and he's at least 3 years away..he's not showing the enthusiasm needed to progress any further at the moment.

Sort of the way i see it. Saves is shopping for a soup type of Goad does become first option.Damn there are a lot of harsh people in here.
He isn't on big money, he's continually improving and he's a North lad. Personally I'd have gone for 3 but there isn't a big supply of quality rucks out there. Of course the synergy needs to improve with the midfielders but it's all pretty new isn't it?! It's not going to click over night.
If history has shown us anything it's that a 2M+ ruck will be kept in the system until they retire. It's how Preuss, Soldo, Stanley, Pittonet, Cox, Darcy Cameron, Naismith, Tom Campbell, Ladhams and co. are all still running around. s**t even Phillips was still on an AFL list until last year. So it's one less thing to worry about while Goad develops.
I just hope he can stay injury free for an extended period.
I find it telling that the other players are usually all over the gram congratulating thier boy on a contract extension but from what I see not one player had said congratulations to X. Very unusual.
