    Just came across this article.

    Last month Adam Goodes was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of South Australia. Is that a first for a Swans player?

    Thanks Meg. Good to see Adam recognised at that level.
    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)

    Found this on youtube from 7 years ago.....Swans players, including Shawry, Jetts, Mal, Gaz, McGlynn and coaches Kenelly and Dew trying to 'zero in' (by kick) on a Coke Zero can perched up high on the side of a goal post. A few get the post and cause the can to fall but who gets the actual can? Goodsey! Then Trent Dennis-Lane does it too, on his second attempt! Funny to watch.....

    The above vid lead to this.....and one can only marvel at the legend. Gee, as this vid shows, at his best he was the fastest, most balanced player going around! Poetry in motion.

    AFLW will be happy!!
    What wonderful news.
    Congrats to Adam and Natalie.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    Well that's lovely news. Best wishes to them both. There will be joy ahead and positive energy.
    It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.
