He did bet more than 10k on afl matches. Reckon he has probably got off lightly in terms of his public perception. As much as I like him


That's what he caught doing........ imagine what he got away with?


You could say that about the majority of AFL players...


Not all players have a gambling addiction nor do they break the rules.
I think he got off lightly IMO.

Having said he got off lightly though, I did like Goodwin as a player.
One of the very few Crows players I did like ;)

I'm quite surprised when I go to Victoria with the coverage in both print and TV of interstate sides, they're not even close to the biased reporting here that assumes everyone follows Crows or the Power.

There is only 2 teams in the comp if you were to believe the Adelaide media.
