Goodes: A triple Brownlow Medallist?
Last night Swans star GOODES became the 12th multiple winner in the Brownlow's history and the first indigenous player to have claimed the award twice.
Only four players, HAYDN BUNTON (Fitzroy 1931-32-35), DICK REYNOLDS (Essendon 1934-37-38), BOB SKILTON (South Melbourne 1959-63-68) and IAN STEWART (St Kilda 1965-66 and Richmond 1971), have won the medal three times.
ROOS says GOODES is only 26 and has been a midfielder for just two years and is still learning how to play the position.
The premiership coach says GOODES played better football this year than in his first Brownlow triumph of 2003.
GOODES says it was great to share the joy of his win with his team-mates but he is now eagerly awaiting another possible match-up with West Coast's 2004 Brownlow Medallist CHRIS JUDD in Saturday's grand final at the MCG.
