Well done sir.
A great of the game. The one I'll never forget is the final vs Port in '03 in the ruck. And that Chris Judd said at his retirement presser his toughest opponent was our man says something.

'Delicious' is a fun word to say
Absolute champion on and off the field.
He'll be missed
For my whole life watching the football and following the Swans Adam has always been there. It's gonna be so odd him not being there
Adam Goodes - a class act!
Sad to see you go Adam. It's been a privilege to watch your career.
Going to be so strange to see the swans go around in 2016 without no 37.
Words can't describe the joy goodesy has given me across his career - what a player, and more so what a gentleman to go with it.
It just wont be the same - farewell goodesy - i hope you have a statue outside the scg one day - i think it should be in action kicking that goal in the 2012 gf!
Itll be a long time till we see someone as good as goodesy again in red and white. What a shame it ended in a loss tonight, but that is footy - few get the farewell they deserve.
Lets hope the footy community manage to pull their collective finger out and give him the plaudits he deserves for a career so grand!
Looking forward to seeing what goodesy can do in his post- footy career. But whatever that may entail, no swans fan will ever forget what joy you have provided us with!
Bravo Goodesy!
Glorious then, but I'll have two other abiding memories of him. First, the 2012 Grand Final. Not his finest game statistically, but what he did that day was beyond statistics. On one leg, but still a battering ram who carried us on his shoulders when the game was up for grabs and he was needed more than ever before. Second, the back end of this season, when he conducted himself with such dignity in the face of such cowardly abuse. He transcended sport. Thanks for everything Goodesy.
My opinion is objective truth in its purest form
Well said. As far as abiding memories go, one little thing that I think demonstrates what a freak athlete he was in his prime, is this. It was a game against Freo at the SCG, when he was still playing ruck. At one somewhat static around the ground ball up, he won the tap easily, by leaping right over the top of Sandilands. Which on the height difference is impressive enough: 211cm against 194cm; which is same as, say, Goodesy rucking against the 177cm Kierin Jack. But what was really impressive was watching it on a slowed down replay and working out high he got up so high. That is, I assumed that he must have put a hand on a shoulder and/or a knee in the back, and more or less climbed Sandilands. But no, the first point of contact, from a standing start, was the shin of Goodes on the shoulder of Sandilands. Truly amazing!

Champion player, champion person. Will be sorely missed, congrats on a stunning career, all the best for the future.
Hope at some point he returns to us in an off field capacity.
