    The courier just called... mine has just been delivered.
    Can't wait to get home and check it out.
    Wasn't that picture from the club? I thought the narrative referred to it hanging in the boardroom at the club.

      liz the club does have the original, and our Chairman has one of the pictures also hanging in the reception of his day job office, and it looks like the reception area was built for the picture. Its gorgeous. He posted a photo on twitter...

        Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

            Didn’t know where to post this so hopefully this is alright.

            Basically, one of my good friends recently lost their daughter to a rare disease called Vanishing White Matter. They have been funding research for years and despite losing the battle with their own daughter, the fight continues.

            Anyway, they are auctioning off a signed Adam Goodes jersey through Facebook. If you’re interested in an awesome Xmas gift for someone (or yourself) have a look here:
            Hello beautiful friends, While life at the moment is extremely emotional, difficult and still does not quite seem real – particularly for Ny Grant and Mads, we had planned to auction these two...

              in a small way, Eddie McGuire stepping away from AFL in 2022, allows Goodes to ever so slowly regain his reputation in the AFL. (outside of the swans, where he will always be a legend)

                I do hope you're right about that.

                  Adam never lost his reputation. He is and always will be considered a great of the game. If anyone, it's the AFL and McGuire who need to rebuild their reputations.

                    That's absolutely a fair point.

                      Rebuild it to what? Game show host that doesn't say racist stuff. Man, that's a lofty ambition.

                          By my calculation, Adam becomes eligible this season for consideration for inclusion in the AFL Hall of Fame. Do people here think that he will go straight in? If he is selected, will he turn up for the event? It could be interesting.

                            He has to be offered, surely. Will he take it? I think so...as long as nobody from Collingwood past or present is allowed near him or his celebration.

                              Agree with sharp9 that it's probably up to him.
                              If question of character impeded the inclusion/elevation of G.Ablett senior and Wayne Carey, then in the case of Adam Goodes - character considerations should hasten his inclusion/elevation.
                              Such integrity, humility and empathy, he makes me wish I was a better person.

                                There is nothing in the comments and interviews he made last year around the release of the documentaries that suggests he wants anything to do with anything associated with the AFL (as opposed to the Swans) ever again in his life. In fact, he was quite clear about it.

                                I'd love to see him honoured; but it's his call and I'll be pleasantly surprised if he takes up the offer.
