I must have missed this cartoon by Mark Knight during that horrible time.....but it sums up the situation pretty well (and makes the furore over the Mark Knight 'Serena Williams' cartoon look pretty stupid).

Thanks for that cartoon. Is it just me or does that image really resemble Goodsey? A decent achievement for a lightly-drawn cartoon showing him only from behind. Even if I cover the head and ears there's still something about the physique that is distinctly Goodsey.
It captures his 'essence' beautifully....humble strength and calmness in the face of ignorance and evil.Originally Posted by bloodspirit

I agree on both counts. Serena is a big black woman and a mighty good tennis player who is human enough to do her lolly occasionally.
And thanks for the cartoon - I hadn't seen it either. I also think it has a flavour of the real man.
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
Attachment 2219 Congratulations. Adam Goodes now officially a Bloods Legend
Just got a Swans notification on my phone! Well done Adam, richly deserved!
“Adam Goodes is officially a Legend after being inducted into the Sydney Swans Hall of Fame and immediately elevated to Bloods Legend status at the club’s Guernsey Presentation and Hall of Fame Induction Dinner, presented by Volkswagen, held at The Star on Wednesday night.”
from the Swans website.
Brilliant, He already was legend to most of us but I love that Adam now has the formal recognition.
Well done Liz, you predicted this.
Always was!! Now it's official
During Adam's Legend presentation they played (off camera) some tributes. Who were the speakers besides Horse and Roosy?
Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.
The first was Chris Judd. I’m not sure who the final one was but I’d guess it was Gil. Though not sure why they’d go to him for a tribute. Judd makes sense in the context of the games they played against each other in the mid noughties.
Gawd, I love him and miss him!
