"Longmire confirms Adam Goodes will play in the NEAFL on the weekend after a discussion re potentially playing sub again."

Sydney Swans on Twitter: "Longmire confirms Adam Goodes will play in the NEAFL on the weekend after a discussion re potentially playing sub again."

Longmire: "I suggested he start as the sub and he suggested he play in the Reserves and get some quality game time and form and fitness.

So much for the "bursting at the seams ego".

hhhmmmm

McGlynn to sub or in the main 21 ?

[Livid_Swan]

Maybe Mcglynn an extra week in the NEAFL and Mitchell in ?

Wow that's big news - I thought he would have been named in the 21 this week so there you go - that's a sure signal from the coaching staff that he is to perform this year to warn his place in the team. ROK mkII?

This will be a big story for a little while....

"k Longmire: "I suggested he start as the sub and he suggested he play in the Reserves and get some quality game time and form and fitness...

I would have thought his fitness want the problem, he had more of a pre season this year than last. And, as a few posters have said, we haven't really had a good chance to check his form. A wet weather game at crap Stadium and half a quarter of dead time aren't really enough to completely judge.
Maybe Adam has realised he may not be good enough anymore and wants to be seen making the choices not being " dumped " by the coach into the Ressies. He could be doing the team thing by giving up his spot so that someone, eg: Mitchell, can get a run in the seniors.

I agree. I hope the end of Adams career is handled with the dignity it deserves. I'd hate for it to be mishandled.

Crowd predictions for the Sydney Derby?

2nd vs 3rd.

Unfortunetly, unless you live in the eastern suburbs the venue is near impossible to get to, so 25,000.

Last years sell out crowds definitely reflected this.
I'm bordering the Hills District and even though your pet stadium is closer geographically to me, the SCG takes less time to get to & from
It's our home ground, deal with it

The last time Adam Goodes played reserves football was in 1998.

That was before his senior debut.
That was before the VFL alignment with Port Melbourne, let alone our reserves team playing at AFL Canberra.
