    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

              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.

                They STILL don't rate him.
                Fools.
                Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                  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 ????

                    On YouTube now. It's a funny show.

                          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.
                              All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)

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