| yeah dees your right mate ff cant really win a charlie and i think goodes will win again he gets noticed by them every year we acknowledge the brownlow is the midfielders award would say between goodes and mitchell so far but overall the best this year have been the 5 i mentioned and probably forgot pav and richo | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| sorry nose, I think you're being a bit optimistic with Buddy. Too many other "spoilers" in your side -class act. Also, odds are against specialist FF's. The umps are too short sighted. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| yeah goodes is like a shiny piece of silver in a pile of s.c.rap metal at the moment. storm in a teacup more like it. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| gt its a pity the swans play so boring goodes would have more people see his brillance yet as it stands he barely rates a mention as his team isnt very interesting,am happy he played for the vics and we saw what he can do in a good side | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| << hah gt looking for a bite ehhhhh >> If I wanted a bite I'd take a drive down the road to Albany (Middleton Beach) there is a 4mt, a 5mt & a 7mt White Pointer down there hanging around looking for some legs to bite. Nah Browny, not looking for a bite ... just stating the obvious truth. Adam first and Judd, Buddy, Richo, J Brown and all the rest come second. |

| "mike sheanan said hadf it not been for goodes he would have walked out on their games" if he found the game boring ... he should read his articles! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| hah gt looking for a bite ehhhhh | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Too right Browny, Adam Goodes is a star and I doubt if there are any footballers in the game who can do what he can ... even Buddy or Richo can't. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| the less said the better gt btw was impressed with goodes in the vic game mate i wished i could watch them more but the boredom factor prevails,mike sheanan said hadf it not been for goodes he would have walked out on their games,goodes is a star gt no doubt he carried the vics rucks after they were dominated in the first qt |

| cont ... "I don't know where she (Hibbins) was coming from," Kickett said. On Sunday, the Swans and Essendon will be playing for the Marngrook Trophy and the following week is the AFL's celebrated indigenous round, highlighted by the 'Dreamtime at the MCG' match between Essendon and Richmond. Many associated with Australian football have been critical of the AFL for allowing Hibbins to use the anniversary publication to attack the links they are celebrating with such matches. Kickett and Marngrook Footy Show host Grant Hansen both believe Hibbins's research is flawed. Hansen said Hibbins argued that if something wasn't written it wasn't true. "She failed to actually interview any indigenous people about the game ... quite ironic if she's writing an article about Marngrook," Hansen said. |

| foxsport.com.au :- SYDNEY star and dual Brownlow medallist Adam Goodes has been branded a racist for claiming indigenous players are "born to play" Australian football. AFL historian Gillian Hibbins made the claim on National Indigenous Television (NITV), at the same time debunking any connection between the evolution of Australian football and the Aboriginal activity Marngrook. Marngrook is a Gunditjmara word meaning 'game ball' and it has long been a popular theory that Australian football's founding father Tom Wills saw a game of Marngrook and thought it would be a good way for Australian cricketers to stay fit in the off-season. Hibbins has labelled that theory as a 'seductive myth'. Goodes expressed his views on Marngrook in a heartfelt essay on what it means to be an indigenous footballer for the new official history of the game, produced to mark its 150th anniversary. "I believe in the connection ... I know that when Aborigines play Australian football (they do so) with a clear mind and total focus. We are born to play it," Goodes wrote. In a recent NITV interview, Goodes backed up his view, stating: "When we play football there's that connection to the land that we are on and the way that we play. "When you see two brothers or three brothers playing on the same team you can just see this natural ability shine through. "I think that comes from thousands and thousands of years of history there." Hibbins, herself a major contributor to the Australian football anniversary publication, branded these comments by Goodes as "racist". "If you define racism as believing a race is superior in something, this is basically what he (Goodes) was doing." She was speaking on the Marngrook Footy Show, which screens on Foxtel's Channel 180, and was debating the origins of Australian football. The former Swans indigenous star Derek Kickett, who also participated in the debate, said any claim that Goodes had been racist was ridiculous. " ... |
