2007 Scorecard - #37 Adam Goodes

[bedford]

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.

Liz your posts are very well respected by all,but you are a tad harsh on goodsy.
if he played for a melbourne club he would be huge.he had apoor start to the season yes but in many years of watching our club,his second half of the year was better than any i have seen,and that goes back over forty years.
remember he won a charlie playing as a ruckman against giants.
he should be the next captain after kirky.
