Adam Goodes - Swans Legend

[Bloods05]

I think that is Hinds angle.....effectively nipping it in the bud, which I still contend the AFL did not do adequately after the initial 13 yo girl incident......which eventually lead to a champion being hounded out of the game by certain fans emboldened by this initial weak response.I think the A League can learn plenty from that.

Absolutely agree.

This is the Huns list of draft “steals”

No disrespect to MickeyO, why does he get a mention at pick 40, but not a dicky bird about Goodesy pick 43?

Feels deliberate to me.

Well it is The Hun. They don't want to alienate their readership.

No mention of Luke Parker either being taken at pick 40. I dare say this is not the definite list, but overlooking Goodesy is a glaring omission.

Especially when they included Micky O as Swans games record holder

[KSAS]

Oh yes, good point! Goodesy is of course our games record holder and indigenous games record holder. That is an inexcusable oversight, can understand the conspiracy undertones. Sloppy journalism at best.

[AnnieH]

They STILL don't rate him.
Fools.

Great read about the inspiring work that the GO Foundation is undertaking in actually closing the gap. Actions speak louder than words. I am still tipping Adam to be Australia’s first Indigenous Prime minister ????
Goodes and O'Loughlin 'want more black faces in the boardroom'

Nice little acting cameo from the legend on Black Comedy last night. He still looks like he is in pretty good nick. As an aside the show is worth checking out.

On YouTube now. It's a funny show.

That video is fantastic! And I goddamn love Adam Goodes.

Brilliant! What can't Goodsey do? Besides 'getting that land back'......

[Ludwig]

Adam Goodes is the greatest living Australian, a national treasure who most represents what is best about the country. He should replace the queen from another country as the Head of State.

I must have missed this cartoon by Mark Knight during that horrible time.....but it sums up the situation pretty well (and makes the furore over the Mark Knight 'Serena Williams' cartoon look pretty stupid).

Thanks for that cartoon. Is it just me or does that image really resemble Goodsey? A decent achievement for a lightly-drawn cartoon showing him only from behind. Even if I cover the head and ears there's still something about the physique that is distinctly Goodsey.

It captures his 'essence' beautifully....humble strength and calmness in the face of ignorance and evil.
