I certainly hopes he has a blinder this year, because I rate him as our 'X' factor. He is the one player (ok, probably also Micky) who just cannot be matched up with,

Much as I love Micky O; there are a few players who consistently play well on him. With Goodes it seems to be more about wether he himself is playing well or not. Obviously we are comparing different types of player at different stages of their career, but Goodes is certainly the number one matchup nightmare when he is "ON"

Goodesy is the consumate athlete. Massive frame but unbelieveable agility, stamina and speed. When he fires, he's unstoppable and I think he is maturing now to a stage where he can achieve consistency. If he can, he'll be the mvp in the whole comp.

His duels with Clement are a sight to savour. 2004 Rd 13, each were BOG for their respective clubs.

I actually think he makes a great pinch-hitting Ruck Rover.

Spot on schneids. But i would say he should be the starting ruck rover. Give him as much time as possible on the ball. He's a big body at stopages/contests, and has the fitness to be an extra marking option all over the ground. He is the perfect ruck rover for the modern game. (IMHO)

is he fit though, what sorta pre-season has he had behind him?

i agree with u guys, play him on the ball wether it be as a ruck rover or ruckman
