I agree with this sentiment 100%. Commemorating the legend of one A Goodes would be kind of soulless and inappropriate at any venue other than the SCG.
I've been thinking that the first game of every season that is played at the SCG should become the Goodesy celebration round where a reenactment of last year's Adelaide game would take place in honour of the great man and to show the world how much Goodesy meant to / means to us. How uplifting would it be to witness that sea of 37 t-shirts at the start of each new year? It's a tradition waiting to be embedded.
I'm disappointed that we are playing at Homebush at all next year. I thought the dark days of Homebush were behind us. I must have misread something. Further, to have to play Collingwood there in round one is less than appetising.
