Injury Goodes getting closer to a return?

[Tobytheswan]

No reason why we are not doing this now.

You don't need Tippett for this to work.

The fear of course is it won't happen even when he comes back.

What does this have to do with Goodes coming back......I will leave now.

Sorry mate I was merely commenting on an earlier post in this thread that concerned Tippett ad franklin.

No need to apologise to me, I realised I was the one way off topic

Ha no worries. Anyway how good will it be to have Goodes back..... Carry on.

I don't reckon Adam will require any games in the 2's.

Our spiritual leader should slip straight back in the fold and create a huge win for us ... not necessarily on the scoreboard but how we play our contested and accountable footy.

Couldn't work it out as I've never seen a team picked upside down before

We might be onto something here. Maybe it's time for Horse to think outside the box in a really, really, really big way.

Der-Wayne made a comment about Goodes returning towards the end of the year. Hope it was just one of his throw it out there comments.

not convinced about goodsey returning anytime soon.. has he been able to sprint at full capacity yet? late last year he was able to train, but when he went for it 100% his knee couldn't handle it.. much like daniel bradshaw, which forced him to retire. hope to hell he gets back.

Joins main training tomorrow for the first time this year

In LRTs presser you can see Goodes in the back ground with the main group , fingers crossed he got through and pulls up ok

You would think we won't find out about how well he has pulled through until the post match press conference sadly.

Yes, those press conferences can be hell on athletes' knees.

Here's the article

Adam Goodes made a successful return to team training on Friday morning, with the dual Brownlow medallist taking part in the majority of the session at the SCG.

Goodes completed handball drills with Kurt Tippett, Sam Reid and Tommy Walsh and ran laps at speed early, before joining with the main group for kicking and match-play drills.

He looks to have slimmed down a bit

 

[kickthething]

Sounds like about 3 weeks given the interview...

 

[Ozmale62]

Woohooo... Would love to see the champion Goodes get back onto the ground & enjoy his remaining time in football. He really deserves it.

I suspect, subject to injury, that he could really be a super sub for Swans for the next year or two maybe more subject to his desire to play & his body allowing him to play.

[halfback dasher]

He will play the sub role for the year .

 

[RUNVS]

He will play the sub role for the year .

I think Goodes' career could be extended a couple of years playing as the specialist sub. As long as he stays injury free he would be so damaging as a sub. He would destroy teams if he came on at 3 quarter time fully fresh and all his opposition has just spent the last 90 minutes running hard.

 

[Tedeski]

Australian of the year.
All Australian player.
Dual Brownlow medallist.
Three time P'ship player.

What a great career to look back on.

 

[Punts]

Little to soon maybe as he is not even back yet but if he can get back to the field ( it was only 20 odd games ago he slapped both Pies and Ess ) and has a decent back end of the year because I think it will take the champ 4/5 games to get into it but could he go on in 2015 if the body holds up till years end as we all no he is a freak athlete or do you think he has made up his mind and will pull it at years end. At 35 he might not want to go through the mental side of it/pre season et etc ?.

Gets through training this week , does he come back in this week
