      Imagine a scenario where the bad press got so ridiculous that any sort of agression was misinterpreted by commentators. Goodes could start to get confused and frustrated by it all. The scrutiny could get to the point where even the umpires would start overreacting. Then finally the last straw and bang he really does lash out and hit someone (although not the first to do so). The scrutiny and overreacation by everyone continues. Impartiality in judging Goodes no longer exists. And whoooshca, Goodes lashes out again....... and again. Finally he and the club decide that he's reached the end of his tether with the Swans and can no longer play for the club. And then he moves to a Melbourne club. And guess what. All of a sudden the Victorian press would love him. Because he no longer plays for a malighned bunch of interstaters. And everyone loves a redemption story. All of a sudden he would be a hero.

      Thankfully Goodes has an exceptional head on his shoulders and it won't happen.

        He's pretty smart too.

          Who cares what the Mexicans think about our players or club, those bastards over the years have tried to kill this club, snipe at our style of play, we flood all the time, all clubs in Melbourne have defensive pressure, not flooding, the list goes on. So I say who gives a big @@@@ what they think or say, let our club do the talking on the field.

          Before anyone gets upset about being called a mexican, I'm one myself, living northof all borders.

            He is not hated by Victorians.

            He does get critism from those who spend their time on forums, people known to be a tad "us" and "them".

            Kind of like using the term "Victorians".

They were surprisingly vocal about all the action on the field. Every time Goodes touched the ball their collective reaction was envy mixed with resignation. These were 3 comments I remember: "sheesh.... what can you do" "you can't stop him" "wish we had him"
                Sums it up.
                Jealousy .... it's a curse.
                Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
                Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

                  Not even Barry tries to pretend he wasn't/isn't violent and unpredictable on the field. Trying to put Goodesey in that basket is just insulting him and patronising Barry Hall.

                        Hello???!!
                        I was trying to comment in a humorous way about the silliness that went on around Hall. I wasn't having a go at Hall or Goodes. It was the misunderstandings that got out of control that I was referring to.
