I was upset re Paul Roos bagging Adam Goodes.?

Question

He is a great player but I don't blame him for maybe being out of sorts. Does anyone else think like I think: That he should never have been overlooked as one of the Swans Captains.

Roos condescendingly once commented that he was only 28 and his time might come and I have seldom seen such a good player who would lead by example given the chance (Plus 2 brownlows - what do they expect of him)?????

Answer 1

Theres no questioning Goodes greatness and Roos quality coaching..

I trust Roos decision making and believe there must be underlying reasons why Goodes has been over looked this year, we gotta remember a captain has many duties..

After saying that ... He's the Captain of my fantasy team.. Ha.. So I beieve he has great leadership qualities!!

Answer 2

I agree - I also found it strange when the Geelong supporters picked on Goodes during the game last week.

It's not like he's a thug - although he's had a couple of incidents - he has played over 200 ganes. No one is perfect.

I think he is a great player and a great role model. The AFL need more players like him.

Although he kicked 4 behinds, 2 or 3 of those could easily have been goals and then we would have been saying what a great game he played.

Answer 3

I wasn't upset.

About time someone told Goodes that he is not God. As Leigh Matthews said recently - Adam Goodes was a protected species - looked after by the AFL tribunal & others.

He is a dirty player when things aren't going his way - snipes & hits players from behind. If he's not mature enough to take a bit of criticism then he should pack up & go home.

Answer 4

All I can say is Sydney is holding alot of pressure on their backs, if they lose too arch rival Kangaroos, it's anyones say after that, win or lose for the Swans, they've still got a long way too go .

Answer 5

Roos is playing mind games with Goodes. He is trying to get the most out of him and if saying what he said works then he's a good coach.

Goodes wouldn't have thought to much about it. But he will play his heart out again next game like he always does.
