    No mention of Adam Goodes. Still, indigenous round at the SCG in front of Carlton supporters is probably not a good memory for AG.

    Very happily Goodesy is there today, and we have a new statue of him too that looks magnificent - material shared on the Swans facebook page (sorry can't like from this computer to it!)

      So good! From Twitter:

      Adam Goodes has been immortalised with an incredible sculpture outside of Sydney Swans HQ

      I'm sure it will be reported at the club site soon.

          Fantastic - and that they chose to form the statue around his dance from the game against Carlton is even better.
          'Delicious' is a fun word to say

            Perhaps a few Carlton fans will feel a bit triggered as they wander in?

              I’m trying to work out from the short Twitter clip where it is. The combinations of backgrounds in the Mickey O shot and then the Goodsey shot suggest it’s between the members stand and the SFS. Does that mean it’s in the Members’ section of the ground?

                I think it’s near the fancy new building? At least the bit behind Goodesy looks like it.

                      Melican is 2 steps too slow.

                        Corey Warner omitted from the final VFL side, the other 3 emergencies are playing.


                        Curnow and Fogarty the 2 Carlton emergencies omitted from their VFL side.

                          Ok. Found the statue. It’s tucked away a bit. Almost on the corner of Lang Road.

                            If Melican is in before him, maybe I'm being kind to Will. Lewis has played on the big guys before.

                              Why do we always get that ***t when we play Victorian teams?

                                The A(V)FL has sent up Stevic and that other p***k to save them.
