Is Goodes the new Kouta?

[Jimmy C]

Well? Is he? Does he have more work to do? Has he passed the level required? A meaningless poll for me to muck around with the featured option of this site having a poll function.

[Cheer Cheer]

Nice comparison, where'd you think up that comparison from ?

Seriously though he is just about there. The more I think of the swans signing him up a new contract the more I am absolutly rapped with the decision. Super athlete. Can do anything, with consistency will give the brownlow a real nudge.

[Jimmy C]

Yeah. He has the odd brain explosion, and occasional issues with consistency. I've been wrapped with him since day one. In general, one of the classiest players going around atm.

Still has a long way to go to be in Kouta's league but man he has to be the closest we have to a genuine superstar............bar injuries I think this time next year we will know if he is going to be the next Kouta or not.

Had a geat preseason and started the year off well. Let's return to this poll mid year and then again at round 21.

No...I reckon Goodsie has the potential to be a latter day Kouta, certainly he's versatile...backman, ruckman, ruck rover, forward...and he's got flair, but sometimes seems to suffer a rush of blood. Then again who doesn't? I reckon he, BBBH and Jude, shd be put on notice that they are in line to be a future swannies captains....and that it depends on how they go this year. Yes, BBBH...as I said when this topic came up last year, a year of cool temperedness, and let's evaluate his prospects at the end of the season as a likely replacement captain to stewie in a couple of years...
Goodsie could indeed become a superstar...

I agree. More "around the ground" presence has to be a great attribute for a leader. I found it hard to accept Dunks as Acting-Captain for this reason. I don't see Jude as Captain at any stage in the future.

Yes

'nuff said (except that that idiot Newman has tipped Goodes for the Brownlow)
