Goodes

Don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen.
Alan Jones sits on the SCG Trust.
It'll be over his dead body...

Maybe a bronze statue?
Far more deserved (IMO) than Kels.
(Not that we should move Kels, maybe just put Goodesy on the other side of him.)

Oh, I dunno, Annie. Maybe he can be bribed with his very own Alan Jones Stand at the SCG?

Maybe we could have a bronze Goodsey taking a speccy over the existing kels statue ?

Yes to both.

Fantastic pro-Goodesy article entitled "Goodes is a Champion and the AFL Must Honour Him" in today's Herald Sun by Jon Anderson.

Wish I could post a link but it's only available online to subscribers.

Edit: Not terrific, too many bits dropped out.

Put the following words into your internet search and the article will come up (slightly different title to the words Sandridge saw).

Thanks dimelb. All the important bits seemed to be there!

I emailed Jon Anderson, thanking him for the article. He replied saying that he was lucky to have a vehicle for his opinions.

All the retiring players should consider boycotting the AFL PARADE ...
That would be a statement .

On the Superfooty podcast this week (best weekly podcast IMO), Ando was brutal in his assessment of the morons who consider it their 'right' to boo Goodes regardless. Good on him...

Thanks for posting 111431. A great editorial!

I firmly believe that, in years to come, Goodesy will be seen as an agent of change like Rosa Parks and Muhammad Ali in the USA.

Probably the greatest swan player of all time.

My Dad and I used to call him 'Baddes' in the 2000-2002 seasons for his inconsistency. How happy I am he proved me wrong.

The silver lining is that him and Shaw retiring gives us salary cap space. If it weren't for this illegal trade ban...

Our group nicknamed him 'Bill Oddie' the first few years. Until your post, I hadn't given it a thought for years...
