Emil Bladholm was one of the first men Farmer Ed hired to help him manage the team and train the players. His fellow goat herder, the late Farm Boy Pete, was a childlike man with a great rapport with the goats, but Emil is a veteran Blood Bowl lineman with no particular farming skills. Still, he's managed to fit in well.

Over a decade ago, Emil even played alongside his hero The Mighty Zug, after signing a one-game journeyman contract with the Reikland Reavers. Needless to say, it didn't go especially well -- which is why these days, he's not teaming up with Griff Oberwald against the legends of the game. He's teaming up with Griff Goaterwald, who is a goat, against the kinds of teams that play against goats.

After the disastrous events of the Uxel Ogres match, in which two players were slain by the hulking man-beasts, Farmer Ed needed to replenish the ranks of the team. With a couple games to go before the squad returned to the farm, Ed was lucky (?) to find Caleb Jankovic. An enormous, dim-witted man with a toothy grin, Caleb was discovered by Ed while staring longingly at the goat pens. He claimed to be half ogre, and his appetite at mealtime suggests he might not be lying.

Unlike his relatively gentle human teammates, Caleb is a killer. He dealt a casualty on his first career block, and has continued in that vein ever since. While his ferocity is welcome on the pitch, there's something not quite right about him. "Watch that guy, boss," said Farmer's Boy John to Farmer Ed. "I think he might try to eat a goat."

Anyone who doubts that goats have individual personalities should take a good look at Griff. Born with a boring name like "Clover" or something, he soon earned a new one by dashing in to make flashy plays on the field. If he wasn't a goat, you could call him a ball hog. Griff loves two things: showing off and delicious carrots. And he knows that, if he shows off enough, people will feed him more carrots. It's a combination that has led Griff to Blood Bowl greatness.

Another thing this goat has in common with the original Griff: no matter what damage he takes, he springs back up ready to take on the world. He's been declared dead on the pitch more than once, only to awaken again in the dugout, bleating faintly, and make a full recovery in a matter of days. Goats may come and goats may goat, but you can't count out Griff.

DISADVANTAGES: Not really a legendary vampire count, actually a goat.
ADVANTAGES: Can play day games.

In the Goats' early barnstorming days, before they moved up to face legitimate Blood Bowl teams, they would face teams of volunteers from the local peasantry, whose members were promised twenty gold pieces each if they could defeat the goats. Many men died trying, and few collected on the wager, but there was never a shortage of willing victims, all of whom entered the game thinking something along the lines of, "Goats? How can I lose to some mangy goats? Easy money!"

The one exception was the team's first game after the arrival of Crazy Henrik. The team was in the town of Grunwald, and not a man in the town would sign up to face them. And who could blame them? Look at this terrifying goat! Since then, Farmer Ed has always kept Henrik in the wagon until after the opposing team has been raised.

Meadow and Veronica are clearly two baby goats, Meadow standing on Veronica's shoulders, both of them wearing an enormous Kislevite overcoat that completely covers Veronica except for her face. In the many games the two have played, no ref has been willing to count them as more than one player. Are Blood Bowl refs really that dumb, or do they find the sight of two goats masquerading as one tall goat too adorable to resist? Nobody knows, but one thing's for certain: Meadow and Veronica are wanted in three provinces of the Empire for multiple on-field murders.

A good and obedient goat, Boris earned his name from his curly locks and long beard, which resemble those sported by Boris Todbringer, Elector Count of Middenland. It's not clear if this is intended as homage or mockery, but it's noted that the team is not currently allowed to enter Middenland due to outstanding warrants. It's also noted that, when he joined the team, Boris consistently played on the most hazardous parts of the line.

That's one creepy-lookin' goat.

Don't listen to Farmer Ed. This is not "a rare and priceless Bretonnian Unigoat." She just lost the other one in an elf.

It's good to be the owner of the Empire's first and foremost Blood Bowl-playing goat herd. But with the nation's carnivals clogged by copycat competitors ranging from Pietro Porcospino's Pigskin Pigs to Lambert Hamm's Slammin' Rams, Farmer Ed sometimes has to do something a little special to stay in the lead. In this case, he's purchased a Great Woolly Goat from the mountains beyond Kislev. Doc has shown little interest in learning how to carry the ball -- he's eaten most of the baskets Farmer Ed has put on him. But he's huge, and fearsome, and really good at hitting people. So that's good!

"Stable" as in "good at remaining upright," not "where she lives." Though she does live in one of those.
