Default Adam Goodes "protected species"

BRISBANE Lions coach Leigh Matthews has called Sydney champion Adam Goodes a "protected species" following the dual Brownlow medalist's tribunal let-off this week.

Think these comments might just comeback and haunted Lethal.

the comments sound fair enough to me though, I didn't see the incident but some players seem to get it better than others, especially if you are bordering on superstardom, sounds to me like the comment came from the frustration of knowing goodes would be playing against lethals lions,

To say that without seeing the incident is bull.
The incident happened when the opponent fell onto the SCG cricket pitch.
Only reason it got brung up was because other fella hurt himself otherwise nothing would of been made of the issue.

, thats bull plugger. The footage clearly shows Goodes swing his arm back and make contact with Thomas' head and he grabs his head before he hits the ground, so there is no way that the ground did the damage.

Goodes could kill someone and get off with a good behaviour bond.

The charge was deemed as high contact by the tribunal, so he clearly struck him in the face. What about godrfey last year, the ball is about 369 kilmetres away and Goodes just charges straight through the middle of his back?

MMMM Nothing in it suppose!!

Sydney winge about how they havent won a free kick count in 10 years, wonder why?

You couldnt honestly think that Goodes isnt protected species, well you could if you didnt watch football at all i guess.

Talk about being ignorant and blinkered. Even the other swans fans I talk to say they can't believe he got off.

Like Goodes said, he has had MORE frees against them then for him last year.
**** if you wanna talk about protected species look at Hird and such.

Goodes is defiantly not one of them.
