AFL Player Of The Week: Round 22
Adam Goodes of the Sydney Swans.
The Swans were without Hall and facing a talented Hawthorn team that were aiming at the top 4. Sydney would need a big effort to overcome the Hawks, the Swans got a lot more than that as they provided the Hawks with an old-fashioned whooping. Goodes led the way, back to his best as an unstoppable player who was impossible to find an opponent for.
Goodes was everywhere, as he usually is, but he also made sure he went forward and provided a taller option there with big Barry Hall out of the team. He kicked a goal and also provided the ball to several teammates to goal. His pass to O'Loughlin in front of goal early in the game was one of the highlights.
He was the best Swan for marks and kicks. Along with Leo Barry, Goodes was the best Swan in the air with 9 marks. Adam Goodes also had 15 kicks, a total that was also equalled by Sydney stars Malceski and Ryan O'Keefe. Goodes also added 12 handballs.
The Swans are September specialists, who always lift when the games become more important. There is no player more important for the Swans than Goodes and there is no player who was as impressive during the last round of the season, so Goodes is the AFL Player Of The Week.
