✕ AVOID

Taylor Goad remains injured and didn't play in Round 3, providing nothing for the rare coach who may have taken a flyer. At just $119.9k with an 18 BE he's among the cheapest rookies available, but with no form data and North's ruck stocks reasonably stable, there's no compelling reason to gamble. Avoid until fit and named.

Community Intel· T3

Taylor Goad (NMFC) not selected for R6 despite community calls. Consensus he is a future contributor but not yet ready for consistent AFL contribution — needs more VFL time before being a reliable every-week player.

Injury Watch· T3

Taylor Goad described as not ready for AFL selection in R5 — still recovering from injury, looked rusty in VFL and would be a risk against Brisbane's dual rucks. Community consensus: give him one more week before debuting vs Richmond.
