    totally agree- goodesy's only flaw would be that he is 'soft'- that is, diving for free kicks or always wanting a free kick. but he makes up for it with his incredible skill
    talking about his other rivals for the brownlow:
    everyone says goodwin is a marvellous player because he gets 35 possessions every week, but the umpires dont look at possessions, they look at impact on the game so i can undestand why goodwin wont win it this year again.
    i think west and johnson will be hard-pressed to win it because they will steal votes from eachother.
    a lot of people are saying judd again this year but i dont reckon he'll win it- he missed 3 (?) games and surely the umpires wont suck up to him enough to give him the brownlow after only playing 19 games. i think kerr has the best chance out of the three eagles players- he is just dominating at the moment but lets hope the three will steal votes from eachother

            Goodesy dives because of his soccer background! Ban soccer and have an extremely gruelling re-education program for all players abandoning that ridiculous sport!

            I can totally forgive the big fella for it though, I watched the Dees game again last night and he was just sensational!

              I'm sure the brownlow is a given for Goodsey. He's a legend.
              After thousands (well, numerous) emails to the club begging and pleading my case, I believe Goodsey should have been made captain.
              Not only is he is our most decorated player (see list below), he has the unique ability to almost be in two places at one time.
              I remember his first game in 1999. Most impressive. At one stage late in his first season, I said to Glenny (who's been sitting next to me in the Brewongle for nearly 10 years) ... watch this kid, he's a brownlow medal-in-waiting. Thank God we didn't have to wait that long to see it.

                Personal achievement is not a Bloods quality.

                I agree - he should probably be made captain next year, or at least co-captain.

                  I see Goodsey's personal achivements as a direct reward from conducting himself wholly within the confines of the Bloods ethos and culture. Not that you'd see Goodsey make a song and dance ... again, Bloods ethos.
                  The Brownlow after all, is your personal reward and acknowledgement for actually being the "best" and "fairest" of the competition.
                  Goodsey is like Hird and Buckley .... legends in our lifetime.

                  GOODSEY FOR CAPTAIN.

                            My friend goes to church. He's seen the pictures (well, what the church think he looked like anyway). If Jesus were around today, he'd be one of those blokes who had a "middle-eastern appearance".
                            Unfortunately, the photo didn't attach. It was a photo from the Daily Telegraph. It was one taken a few months ago when the team were taking salt water dips one very, very cold Sydney morning. In the photo, Adam still had his full beard.
                            He did look a bit like Jesus ... well, the pictures of him in church anyway!!
                            Can someone tell me how to attach a photo from my desktop? I attached it at the bottom of the reply page, and it didn't work.

                              Goodes for captain? Dunno about that. I wouldn't object like, but who are you going to dump or are you gonna make him Captain No. 4 which is getting very close to the ridiculous.

                              A lot of different qualities needed for captain and different characters fit the bill. Take Maxfield as an example. Would Goodsey want it? Would the new responsibility stifle his omnipresence and freedom on the park?

                              Dunno about that one...

                                Easy ... dump all three captains. Captaincy isn't a job you get forever (unless you're Bobby Skilton or Paul Kelly).
                                Make Goodsey captain.
                                Kirky vice.
                                Goodsey would take to the added responsibility like a duck to water. He has all the qualities needed for captain and then some. He has the respect of his peers, the club, other clubs, the fans, AND the media. He is articulate, intelligent and a man amongst men. He's a fabulous role model for the game, for the team and the fans. He's a legend in the making. I've said it before ... in years to come, he'll be regarded with the same reverence that is reserved for players like Hird & Buckley.
