Great reward for Adam for all the charitable work he does off the field.  Well deserved and a great ambassador for the game and some great news in the off season to overcome all the negativity we have seen.

Congrats Agam, very deserving of this. Hopefully as Ringo said it will wipe a bit of the negativity that went on this year.

He's a magnificent ambassador for our game and for his people and the country, if you think otherwise I feel for you.

Hypothetically and optimistically speaking, if we won the flag next year, would Goodesy go down as the greatest Swan of all time?

Skilton 3 brownlows but only ever played in one final

Plugger most goals of all time but no premiership

I think I'd have him in front.

Not many players can say they are both a dual brownlow medalist and a dual premiership player i think he already has cemented his spot as one of the Swans all time greats and one of the all time greats to have ever played the game.
