Adam GOODES

2015 Digest:   Yet to train with the main group, but at 35 he knows his own body and that approach is similar to previous years. A lot further advanced than this time last year. Comfortable over where he is at, and well placed for normal start to season.

2015 NAB Cup:   Against Freo he worked well deep forward and up the ground. Became a key forwrad when Buddy injured and moved OK.
