Sydney Swans v Carlton Blues results, scores, fixtures, teams, ladder, odds, tickets, how to watch

Sydney coach John Longmire has praised the unveiling of the Adam Goodes’ statute at Sydney’s new training centre today.

Longmire praised the retired great whose dance against Carlton in 2015 was immortalised by the statue.

Goodes attended the ceremony despite the arrival of his third child, son Leroy, earlier this week.

“It was pretty special to be there and watch that,” Longmire told Fox Footy.

“Adam, for what he has done for this footy club, is significant so to have him there and see Michael O’Loughlin and a lot of our former Indigenous players there was really special.

“It was a fantastic tribute to an icon of the game. It was great to see him smile. He has had his third child this week so he has had a bit on his plate.

“It was probably good to get away from home, get something to eat and have a rest for a couple of hours as he will be back tonight not getting much sleep.”
