Goodes to play on after today.

[ScottH]

Sam Lane just announced this on the pre game show.

He will play on.

I've been having a feeling that Adam will retire for quite a while. And that he would announce his retirement as part of his Norm Smith Medal acceptance speech.

[ShockOfHair]

Er, has this thread title changed?

[ScottH]

Yep.
Lesson for the day
Don't listen to important when you are really sick, and your wife i coughing all over it.

Sorry

Has to retire its another ROK debacle

Has to retire its another ROK debacle

Nonsense.

[Melbournehammer]

Personally I think this is madness if we are going to persist with the current four talls in the forward line. Would be much much happier if he could still play midfield regularly. But Lewis gave home a bath in the centre square today.

[Mel_C]

Has he officially said he is playing on? I don't want to turn on the tv or radio!!

[Zlatorog]

Even if he decides to play on it is quite likely he will end up playing in reserves like ROK. The same goes for Shaw. Mel will leave.

[Conor_Dillon]

Mal will stay but I think Goodes and Shaw should hang them up. Not because they're not good enough but because it's what's best for the long term development of our list.

Shaw was average

[Swansinger]

Adam,you are the greatest ,you were not disgraced today and now is not really the time to make an announcement. But......it's time.

It was good to hear his feelings on the game - spot on. According to this he is yet to make up his mind.

I, for one, want him to play on. If only to provide mature leadership in the face of the part time leadership that was exposed yesterday. But I wouldn't blame him if he decided he'd had enough. He gave it his all yesterday, and his disciples did not follow him into battle.......pity.
