Was a fan of his abilities as a player, he had great skills for a player his size but his personality was never one that grabbed me unlike say Eddie Betts who has also copped his fair share of racism but Eddie has always pushed through and kept his happy go lucky persona while dealing with the racist BS thrown his way.
I didnt dislike Goodes but couldnt warm to him which made it hard to understand his actions...his carry on with the very inoffensive Carlton group of supporters at the SCG was clearly frustration from previous games dealing with other idiot supporters but his war dance was uncalled for and only inflamed the situation and made him more of a target.
Eddie would have handled that differently IMO and played to the crowd like he always does and thats why he is such a respected and loved figure in the game.
I get Goodes is still bitter and its his choice what awards he wants to embrace or denounce...
