An explosive, lithe prospect who accelerates in possession and makes aggressive decisions with the ball, Goater is perhaps the Roos’ most exciting athlete.

A lifelong North Melbourne fan, he has so far settled as an interceptor who quickly closes in on opponents and sets the Roos up to score when he wins it back.

Despite being hampered by injuries in 2024 and 2025, the buzz is still there for what Goater could become in a developing North Melbourne line-up.
