The younger brother of Sydney Swans champion Adam, Goodes has finally earned a spot on a senior list after making a mark in the VFL.
He was a part of North Ballarat's back-to-back flags in 2008-09, and came within two votes of taking out the Liston Trophy.

Goodes worked in player welfare at the Bulldogs, before the club rewarded him by drafting him to the rookie list last year.
All sides must nominate any rookie upgrades by 2.30pm on Tuesday.
