Brett Goodes not playing against the Roosters

Williamstown has left former Rooster Brett Goodes out of the squad, but the club declined to comment on the reason when asked yesterday.

Anyone know why?

Could well have been the difference to get them over the line.
A very high standard game that could have gone either way.
Willy will have a huge say in this years finals
My info was that Brett Goodes was injured.

I'm reluctant to mention this, but my informant at the game advised me that Lindsay Thomas was the recipient of four dubious free kicks from the same umpire (No. 17) that all resulted in goals. My informant added that nearby Rooster supporters were similarly gob-smacked with the generosity. Any comments?

Your informant clearly had his blue and gold goggles on.
It was a great game with a few average frees going to both sides.
Thomas got one free and goal that i laughed at but the other frees were there.
I also seen Willy kick 5 goals from free kicks.
Could have gone either way but we were lucky to be in front when the hooter went.
Willy had a shot after the siren to win the game but failed to deliver the goods.
Very average display of sportmanship by Willy supporters and staff towards the umpires post game.It aint the 70s !
Have you ever lost a game and not bitched about the umpires ?
German needs anger management and the sooner your club is rid of this clown the better off you'll be.

I guess you'll be first on the plane Dale to go and support your beloved Seagulls ?
Sorry i never seen you yesterday, would have been nice to buy you a beer. You must have been in your car tooting the horn like all those North Ballarat supporters that Billy loves.
Been 4 long years Dale, no wonder you love the Chooks.

You have a good memory Burra, just can't remember Williamstown ever losing graciously & as for their coach, he is disgrace & should take a good look at himself.
