NUFC, YES.
A sad end to one of the most brilliant careers of the modern era.
Noticed he averaged 21.88 games per season (inc. finals) across his career from 1999-2015. Extraordinary durability for a player of his size and style.

Chael Sonnen: Moral Champion
I still remember a Swans - Crows game in 2012, where Crows, like that had many times that year, fluked their way to the front by a reasonable margin, but Goodes was going beserk and had 3 goals in in half a quarter in the last. Again, as was typical of the Crows that year, he suffered a knee injury just as he looked like winning the game off his own boot, and the Camrys coasted to victory.

The NthMelb Cheer squad officially outed by Swans Richard Colliss. Are they a bag of hammers over there or what.
I don't think Boomer and Fletcher ever whinged and moaned victimisation like a 90 year old Pommy Sheila coming off the boat into Perth at 43 Celsius and flies in the 70's.Goodes whinges more than anyone.They don't boo him for race.They boo him because he is a squealer

Goodes was definitely a champion footballer, but the jury is still out on whether he is a champion bloke!
Great footballer, the problem with the booing is it's just become fashionable for every half-wit pleb when it comes to Adam, like a bunch of kids joining in with "ner ner na ner ner" I doubt half of them know why their booing.

Huh?
They don't boo him for race.
He is booed for his race. It sucks that there is that element but it is undeniable. Some boo because they don't like how he rolls but plenty jumped in to boo him because they feel it is a safe public place to boo an abo.
