Goodsey's 300th?

[Triple B]

Having said that we met a bunch of them on the way home as we were going along the Southern Cross platform on the way in. They said, "We really hope you knock that St Kilda lot out of the finals." I said,"See you in a couple of weeks."

Myself and DoctorJ went to the Pies game before heading to Etihad, so we obviously had our red and white gear on. Almost to a man, every Collingwood fan that spoke to us had the same sentiments, knock over those Saints. I had the distinct feeling it wasn't that they considered them a threat, they just don't like them...lol

Hubris alarm! One week at a time!

300th game at the home of football is the next best thing to a home crowd at the SCG.
I hope all Melbourne Swans fans get out there on Friday night to cheer him on!!!

Saints haven't lost a Saturday night game at Docklands since 2003. Time to break another hoodoo I think !!

Done.

What's next?

I get your drift, but I'd LOVE to go into the 2nd week of finals with a Prelim and Goodsey's 300th to play for! bring it on I reckon.

You got your wish!!!

Great article, thanks ugg!

Anyone else wondering about Goodesy's career post footy? Politics maybe? I have a few thoughts, but I'll wait til we play the Hawks....

I see him ending in the political sphere somewhere. If not an MP, then representing the indigenous community on government committees, taskforces etc. A hugely respected person both on and off the field and has the credibility required for a role such as that. But hopefully not for a few years yet...

Looking forward to seeing him play his 300th next week!

What a magnificent career Adam has had - we really have been lucky to have seen it all (at least in my case).

I remember my brother and I watching him playing for the Rebels in the under 18 Premiership at the 'G' - we said to each other 'we have to get him' after he kicked a great 6 or so goals from full forward.

When I saw we got Adam at pick 43, well, I couldn't believe it! Was this Ricky Barham or someone else? Whoever, it was an inspired pick, if a little late!!!!!

Dare I dream that Goodesy can take us yet further???

A sensational player who has grown into the captaincy most impressively. Congratulations Adam, very well done.
And keep going full steam ahead!

He hasn't played it yet.

Might get dropped for not kicking 10 goals tonight.

I hope he doesn't play until a home game so everyone in Sydney can enjoy it.
