	Adam Goodes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Adam Goodes (born January 8, 1980) is an Australian rules football player.
		In 2003, Goodes returned to the ruck position for significant parts of the year, in what was to become his best season so far.
		Goodes is of Aboriginal descent, and is active in the Sydney indigenous community.

	RedAndWhiteOnline.com - 37 - Adam Goodes
		Adam Goodes was taken at no 43 in the 1997 National Draft, after starring at CHF in the 1997 TAC Cup Grand Final.
		However, for the next three years, Adam wore the label of "unfulfilled potential": there was no doubting his athleticism, enthusiasm, nor his oft freakish skills, but he struggled for consistency.
		Fortunately, the appointment of Paul Roos in 2002 signalled a turning point in Adam's career, and during the second half of 2002 he stormed home to take out third place in the club B&F. Even so, it would have taken a brave man to predict what was to come in 2003.

		Goodes said he had benefited from the manner in which new coach Paul Roos has given "ownership" of the team to the players.
		Goodes earns enough money to fly his family to Sydney for the occasional game, and his brothers were staying at his house in suburban Botany when he won the Brownlow.
		Goodes had not had time to organise a date for the Brownlow because he was not coming to Melbourne if Sydney had won its preliminary final.

		Goodes wants to be respected by his teammates - and he is - but he also wants to be a leader.
		While O'Loughlin and Goodes were playing for the Aboriginal All Stars, the Swans players gathered at the SCG to elect the club's 10 leadership positions.
		Both Goodes and O'Loughlin stay in touch with their families, whether they are next door or a 1000 kilometres away.

		Goodes said he could not recall too many other players of Aboriginal descent captaining an AFL team.
		Goodes said he wasn't bothered at all by his utility tag, "because that's exactly what I am".

		It was five weeks into the 2002 season when Adam Goodes reached his nadir.
		In fact, Eade said that while he was hard on Goodes, it was only because he felt there was a fair gap between the athletic Swan's potential and ability.
		Goodes, the Swans' highest mark taker and second on their disposals tally, is the first to admit Eade's contribution in developing basic skills such as hard running and tackling.

		After his 2003 Brownlow Medal season, Goodes suffered left and right knee complaints which significantly hampered his ability and confidence on the field.
		Despite placing eighth in the 2005 best and fairest, Goodes endured his fair share of criticism in the media last season for apparently not playing to his potential.

	Sports Australia - AFL Match Report: Crows outrun Swans [July 30, 2005]
		Adam Goodes (33 possessions) played one of his most sparkling games in his career, racking up touch-after-touch, whilst winning plenty of contested possession and providing numerous forward thrusts.
		In contrast to previous weeks, it became evident that the Crows were going to drop off the pace and they failed to let their analysts down.
		Although the Swans were failing to apply any scoreboard pressure early, they were slowly persisting and picking away at the Adelaide defence, however, continued to pepper their chances at goal.

	Weekly Wrapup
		Some players who'd been good this year like Graham Johncock, Matthew Bode, Carey (5 disposals, 1 mark, 0.2) and Tyson Edwards were very quiet, Edwards spending lengthy periods on the bench for some reason.
		Essadun attempted a similar game-plan to that employed by Siddey, a man-on-man game designed to force contests, but with some problems: whereas Sydney had Adam Goodes, the Dons were thrashed in the ruck; they can't run like Sydney; they're not as disciplined as the Swans either.
		The rain stopped at quarter-time, early in the second term Cupido booted a very good 50m goal to reduce the Port lead to 6 points, but the Flowers restored their margin quickly after a Stu Dew snap from 60m rolled, bounced and tumbled through for full points.

	Swansblog.com: And the Next Captain Is.................
		So after two weeks of Ben Mathews we have come to our second last captain under the rotation captaincy system and for the next fortnight we see Goodes put forward his case for the job full time when the club names its captain for 2006 in late November, early December.
		Out of the six players used under this policy, Goodes is one of the favoured long term options in the eyes of many.
		For me so far only Kirk and Hall did themselves a long term benefit and I believe that Goodes and Jude Bolton (who will take over the captaincy for the matches against West Coast and Adelaide) will join them in the final showdown when the decision is finally made.

	Sports Australia - AFL Match Report: Swans run out imposing victors [July 9, 2005]
		Adam Goodes was imposing in his 150th match, racking up 21 touches and 10 marks, while Leo Barry was resolute in defence, holding Cats' forward Kent Kingsley to only one goal.
		James Kelly and Garry Ablett were shining lights in the Geelong midfield, creating plenty of run in collecting 20 and 21 possessions respectively, while late inclusion Cameron Thurley booted three goals from 12 disposals to be the only standout forward.
		Barry Hall was retarded in the first quarter, though, broke away from Matthew Scarlett, booting four second quarter goals, as Sydney banged on five goals in the first seven minutes while Geelong remained scoreless.

		Once Goodes does his work at the centre bounce, he virtually becomes a midfielder, running around the ground taking marks and picking up possessions.
