    I missed the announcement. Would anyone know how I could view his speech? From comments on FB it was pretty inspiring.

    Joins some illustrious company with this. He's the fourth indigenous sportsperson after Rose, Goolagong and Freeman. Other indigenous winners included Neville Bonner, Mick Dodson, Galarrwuy Yunupingu, Lowitja O'Donoghue and Yunupingu from Yothu Yindi.

    Other sportspeople to win have been Fraser, Gould, de Castella, Taylor, Border, Waugh and Rafter.

    Really has done it all has our Goodesy.

    Though I wouldn't begrudge him a Norm Smith...

    Happy for Adam and even more so for his mother. How proud she must be.

    Look forward to the day when we see a similar photo of AG, except this time he's the PM handing out the award.

    ^ I wouldn't be surprised if that was some of the motivation behind giving him the award.. Lets get him on our side..
