Can't wait to see this


You’d be the only one mate!


Doubtful, but I don’t really care. He’s my fave swan of all time, and probably the best one of all time. And would easily be in the discussion as one of the greats of the modern era



Matter of opinion. IMO biggest wanker of all time! and not even the best Swan of all time, let alone best of all time!


Only Kelly or Lockett in the last 30 odd years to knock him off as the best Swan

I reckon wubbsy is on the money with Goodes. I reckon he is better than Kel and for me Plugger played his best football at St Kilda. He was never a favourite of mine but the guy could seriously play. The first Indigenous Ruckman since Polly Farmer and the only indigenous ruck that won the Brownlow. Along with Anthony Koutafeides Goodes was the prototype for the modern player, tall, atheletic and versatile. In terms of courage and determination have a look at his effort in 2012 Grand Final. He was one one leg and battled away all day and kicked a vital goal.

In terms of biggest wanker, or at least at the Swans, that "honour" goes to Greg Williams. As for the best player to represent South/Sydney it's pretty hard to go past Bob Skilton.

Regards,

Goodes is a bigger flog than Diesel.

He’s a very close 2nd to Goodes in the wanker stakes that’s for sure.

Do you reckon Adam Goodes commissioned the film? It's a documentary that looks at the last 3 years of his career, with a strong focus on racism. Maybe you should have a look before you start calling him a flog. Have you even met him?

I’m sure he took part in it and gave his permission for its release.
And I like many thought he was a flog long before the docu was made.

If the film highlights and helps with racism then that can only be a good thing but I doubt my opinion of him will change.

I honestly don’t understand the hate this bloke gets. He’s an incredibly humble individual who does a lot for charity.

Champion footballer and a great role model. They are flog like behaviour if I’ve ever saw it

I think it’s been mentioned many times on here.

But his actions of his last 2-3 years were flog like.
-Staging for frees.
-Whinging to umpires.
-Throwing imaginary spears into the crowd.
-Playing the racism card when there wasn’t any.

Kane Cornes does lots of charity work as well which I admire but he’s a flog as well.

I could name you over half of the AFL who stage for free kicks
An indigenous player standing up for indigenous rights and speaking out against racism in AFL is flog behavior? strange call.

- wouldn’t be a player in the history of vfl/afl that has never staged for a free kick... going by that theory you surely can’t be a Selwood fan? Or you should hate majority of the playing list if that’s the case
- as above
- wasn’t a spear it was a boomerang and it was done during indigenous round celebrating his culture, by doing a dance a kid taught him... unbelievable how offended people got by this.

- There wasn’t any racism? You sure?

Then for a moment pretend to be a grown up and assess him on his playing ability, not on how you view someone you've never met.
