Recent developments have this afternoon have put more light on this issue. Therefore the joke is now on you even in hindsight (or lack of).

The obsessive and paranoid nature of your posts, and their quite extraordinary volume, are all that is needed to understand why you dismiss my very reasonable question as "garbage", and paint a vivid picture of someone who actually has derived no pleasure whatsoever from following the footy for a very long time now.
And perhaps doubly paranoid in this instance because my post wasn't a reference to that particular question I'd asked.
Another round of footy starts tomorrow night. I very much look forward to it, as I have every round since the 1970s. I guess the best we can hope is that you at least derive some glimmer of pleasure from the round.

Did anyone catch Derm's spiel on League Teams tonight? He showed a few of the "incidents" of Goodes for the last 18 games. (A Port player, Rioli and Gibson, plus mentioned a player in NAB cup but had no footage so not sure)
The panel to a man said Goodes is a great player but has to remove these types of things from his game. Its like the Judd thing of the last year or two I guess.

Its the thread title and the OP that was intentionally created to cause angst that Swans supporters have a problem with, not the subject itself.
You could find footage of anyone in the game doing shit that can be interpreted to your needs if you have a team of editors at your diposal. Why doesn't he turn his interest to someone who is a squib. Seems to have anagenda here going on with it like this, I wonder what it might be?

Talks about the good and bad, very decent bloke and hard not to like.

Why the **** does he have to dive head first? Is putting his head over the ball, and bumping his opponent out of the waytoo much work?

Bumps, shoving etc are fine, but don't resort to tripping and going in with your legs. That is not on in any form of sport.

No, Football (as in Aussie Rules) and Basketball are by far my two favourite sports.
Do you think that tripping, sliding into players legs with your feet and going in feet first is okay?
he shouldn't be leading with his feet into a tackle. simple as that.

Shhhhhhhh.
Stop posting this because all we get is Swans Flogs mentioning Dermie, the GF ect ect ect.
No mention of Goodes doing this on many occasions.
For every other team, it's "getting numbers around the ball". For the Swans it's "flooding". The sky is falling!
For every other team, it's "edging your opponent under the ball". For the Swans it's "tunnelling". The sky is falling!
For every other team, it's "going for the ball". For the Swans it's "dangerous sliding". The sky is falling!
It only started when we became successful, so keep up the double-standards, flogs.

Gary Rohan said it was fair
Yes, I have plenty, first time I've seen a Hawk poster mention it, 34 pages in, I would have thuoght your lot would be trolling about this rather than resorting to callling Adam Goodes names, but then a round 7 game isn't exactly a Gf is it?

What incident are you referring to where all this happened ? Goodes has got form in toe poking footballs to gain advantage to run onto the ball this incident didn't work out because Gibson made it there fractionally earlier than Goodes. Maybe a free kick but this thread is full of insinuation and conspiracies. I've missed about 10 games of Goodes career and yes he gets it wrong on the odd occasion in fact one of his worst faults in the game is giving hospital handballs. Players every week give away free kicks where their technique has failed and they seem to continue to do it. It's a contact sport and Goodes doesn't go out with intent to cause injury. I haven't watched enough of Gibson to tell you if he screams blue murder when he gets a knock every time but based on the expert opinion about Goodes on here I guess I could with just as much confidence say Gibson is soft. I don't believe that of course but really some of the rubbish on here makes people seem hysterical.

I haven't read any posts in the thread. But saw them talking about it on fox footy.
IMO it's nothing to do with courage. It's just instinct and he's trying to win the ball. It now just an illegal way of doing so.
