Goodes - Australian of the Year!!

[Big Al]

Thanks PerthSwannie, I ended up accepting a couple of old Swannettes and a six pack of VB (TripleB was right sadly) and read the article.

He's grown into a very impressive community leader hasn't he.

Now I usually roll my eyes at sportsmen being given Australian of the Year honours but the work he's done away from the footy field would suggest he'd be a worthy winner if selected.

Been said before but thanks PerthSwannie.

Adam deserves all the good that comes his way.

.... I ended up accepting a couple of old Swannettes and a six pack of VB.

HaHa........old Swannettes?. Gee, which retirement village did you find them in??

[ScottH]

Thanks PerthSwannie. (again)

Most of that article is the same as what was told through the show on Ch10 last Friday that featured Adam.
Original journalism.
