The SCG has grandstands named for Rugby League legends - Dally Messenger and Clive Churchill. Several other stands are named for past cricketers (Bradman, Noble, O'Reilly, Trumper). But we're a big part of the SCG too, our sport deserves recognition alongside the others. And what better person to be honoured with a grandstand than Adam Goodes.
And there's an easy rename available too - the Brewongle Stand was named after a 19th century tea stand which was named for a pastoral property near Bathurst. That's cute and all, but obscure and antiquated. It's a perfect opportunity to better embed the Swans at our newly locked-in-for-decades home ground. We can do it without stepping on other legends' legacies. And we can honour Sydney-era football's greatest champion at the ground he did most of his best work.
No-brainer, really.
