2007 Scorecard - #37 Adam Goodes

[Nico]

8/10 - Pity some of his overrated mates didn't rise to the occasion in the second half of the season. He must have winced everytime some of those donkeys turned it over or failed to go hard enough for the pill.

[573v30]

8/10 - His first quarter of the season was poor and clearly shown against Melbourne but eventually turned it around and had a sensational second half with plenty of Brownlow votes and best-on-ground performances. If he was consistent throughout 2007, he would've easily won the Brownlow for a 3rd time and given a perfect 10/10. Hopefully 2008 will be the year.

9.9

As I'm voting without using my obvious bias ... I deducted 0.1 for the "brain explosion".

We are so lucky to have a player of his class. Players like Goodsey don't come around every day.

You shoulda deducted about 1.0. He had many brain explosions in the 1st part of the year.

[bedford]

now one of the greatest swans ever,poor start but was the afl no.1 for the second half.

9/10

[reigning premier]

7.5/10

If he had played the first 10 games as well as he played the last 12 he would of got an 11 from me But he didn't.

Has the ability to be the best Swan of ALL time. Yes, including Kelly, Skilton, Lockett, etc, etc. But will he live up to that? Only time will tell.

Pay attention people, you might one day be telling your grand kids about how you saw "The great, 4-time brownlow winning, 3-time premiership player, 3-time all australian captain, Adam Goodes play footy". You may not, but it could happen.

Had he not been a complete dill in the first couple of months of the season (yeah, I oughta find that bitch and slap her down for treating him like a dog - how dare she!!) ... he WOULD have won the brownlow ... by a huge margin to the second player in line - hands-down-mezzaire. I think he's learnt his lesson. If they make him a co-Captain - he will definately win the charlie this year. You know I'm always right!!

... careful, you'll get a smack on your ample bottom talking like that!!

I can't take a whole point of Goodsey. I tried. I just couldn't do it to a player of his class and calibre.

Well my point was, there was more than one brain explosion.

6.5/10

Came too late to the party.

[liz]

7/10 - judged against his own standards.

Most players can only dream at the prospect of playing the kind of football that he did in the second half of the year. To have Collingwood fans drooling over the performance of a Swans player is rare indeed, but that is what many of them were doing after his r21 game, in particular.

But a guy with his ability should belong in the company of the Vosses, Harveys, Hirds, Buckleys of this world when he retires, and if he retired tomorrow he would fall short. The ability of those blokes to play season after season after season of football close to their best sets them apart. It is frustrating that Adam's not been able to do that so far in his career.

Adam Goodes scorecard

6, 10, 7, 9, 7.5, 9.5, 8, 9.9, 9.5, 8, 8, 6.5*, 8, 8, 9, 7.5, 6.5, 7, 8

Total score = 152.9/190

Average = 8.05/10

Goodes passes with flying colours

*I read swantastic's mark as 13/20 - 6.5/10.

[Justice]

As noted by others, season 2007 needs to be looked at in two halves for Goodes. 2.5/5 for round 1 to 10 and 5/5 for round 11 to 22 = 7.5/10.

I love watching him play to 40 tonne elephant role (ie going where he wants). Reads the ball very well in flight and takes plenty of marks from oppositions kicks. Having said that he then often clanger kicks it straight back or out of bounds.

When on song he is in the elite of the elite in the AFL.

Cheers

Agree Annie, however I will deduct 0.9 points because I don't give marks because their hot. 9/10
