Great talent no doubt but rarely turns it on when it matters. What's the point of playing a blinder when the team has just conceded 13 straight goals?
And for that reason I agree with the rest of the football world that Goodes is over-rated as a player. Individually brilliant but incapable of single handedly turning a game - or even changing the momentum to a significant enough degree that others can help him swing a game.
No problem with the Brownlows, it is an individual award. But we know that Sydney is not about individuals (unless you can individualise yourself by constantly sacrificing your individulaity and gain a certain status as the bloke that stands out so much for never standing out - but that's a different gripe).
