Goodes has asked to play reserves rather than wear the vest two games in a row.

Seems like the game and our structures have passed him by, playing as the third tall option seems well within his capabilities for the year IMO, but also stunts a younger players development.

Sounding similar to O'Keefe?

I'm reporting Sydney for blatant racism if T.Mitch is discriminated against one more time.

McGlynn is first in line before Mitchell. You'll just have to hope that one of Towers or Laidler gets dropped

Should of gone out on top. After Australian of the year ROFL!

How good would it be to be playing in the Swans 2s and get a game with Adam Goodes though. Those kids would not be getting any sleep the night before the game. Way to excited!!

I think McGlyyn gets the green this week in his return game

Yeah I reckon he probably should have finished up after last season.
Look at the O'Keefe situation as Rico mentioned could turn into to something similar with Goodes,you would hope not tho.I felt bad for O'Keefe last year.
Get the younger kids in and get some games into them.

He'd still be in the best 22 for most clubs which is a shame :(

Reckon he'll get at least one more game though

Nope he got a lap around the ground and that was it.

Well hope they show Goodes some respect and at least give him one more if the plan is to phase him out I guess you could say

Yeah hopefully, I think there's a lot more openness about this scenario than with the O'Keefe one, as they were quiet about why he wasn't playing until very late in the season.
