    No body should be above the TEAM no matter who they are.
    Goodesy is already above the team. He's of the calibre of Hird & Buckley. When were Hird or Buckley ever dropped for having a soft game??
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

      Someone in another thread just compared McHack to Goodesy.
      Now, you're comparing Davo to Goodesy.

      THERE IS NO COMPARISON. Goodesy is not as expendable as say, Davo or McHack. He is the opposition coach's greatest nightmare. Who will they put on Goodesy? Even when he's playing crap - he's still a nightmare.

      He is our most elite player - some respect, please.
      I agree, he wasn't too bad yesterday anyway , 20 odd touches I think.
      Having him and Cheese charging around from one end of the field to the other, in tandem, will be a sight to behold and extremely hard for other teams to match up on.
      Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT

        Buckley was never dropped for form but he did turn out for Williamstown on occassion.

        I can't see Goodes ever being dropped but I thought he was quite poor in the first half yesterday. He seemed to just expect to get the ball rather than running to create space and opportunity.

        And if Roos wants to drop Nick Davis for not chasing and creating pressure then there are more than a few examples of Goodes doing exactly the same thing yesterday.

          one thing i noticed yesterday was he looks like he has lost a bit of pace.
          even in the 2nd half when he was better he still wasn't breaking away,you never know he could be carrying something.
          but he will never be dropped as even half fit,or half his best he is still a very good player.
          the best thing about is his brownlow odds have crept out

              Compare Goodesy and Davo all you like.

              Goodesy will never be dropped the way Davo gets dropped.

                Seems some double standards going on...

                Yes, that's because of different standards for different players. J Bolton underperformed for all of 2007 yet was not dropped - was even rewarded with a new contract and pay rise.

                    Spot on and thats one big problem with our team. Make an example of Davis but Goodes, Hall, Kirk, Bolton etc could walk out and stand there for two hours with their hands on their hips and not get dropped.

                        Right. So why was Davis dropped exactly?
                        He ate more cheese, than time allowed

                          because he was too heavy in the firemans carry after he had eaten a whole bucket of KFC to him self.

                              i doubt he is actually not trying, but when goodes goes missing he looks so disinterested.

                              I half expect him to hit the showers at half time and be off at club swans during the 3rd quarter at times.

                              I wouldnt drop him for round 3, but if he doesnt pull his finger out why not drop him, no player is bigger than the team
                              Theres not much left to say

                                roosy must just check who the melbourne players put in our best every week. I think theres a macro or some sort of thing on the herald sun computers , when you type in Sydney Best: the name j bolton appears no matter what
