Australian of the year

[🏅Dooks]

I wonder how many criteria could apply for belting guys in the face and staging for free kicks.....

http://www.australianoftheyear.org.au/the-awards/criteria/

An individual need only be nominated once to be considered. The number of nominations received per nominee bears no weight in their selection.

The selection criteria are:

Demonstrated excellence in their field
Significant contribution to the Australian community and nation
An inspirational role model for the Australian community
The Local Hero award acknowledges a significant contribution at local community level

Selection panels will also give consideration to the following in assessing and comparing nominations against the above criteria:

Personal, academic and professional achievements
Contribution in the relevant field (how has the nominee 'put back' into their field to benefit others)
Demonstrated leadership, innovation and creativity
Personal interests and community involvement
Contribution to development of regional community and/or economy
Future goals and likely impact
Degree of difficulty of the achievement and sacrifices made
Country of residence
Previous awards and recognition
Voluntary work beyond paid employment
Nature and length of activity or service
Achievements as an individual or as part of a group or organisation
Availability and commitment to promote national pride and active citizenship though the year of the recipient's appointment

Geez some of u guys are full on.
 Goodes has been an outstanding player and a role model for the aboriginal community for years. What we saw today was a broken old player who was looking for easy kicks. Sorry Goodesy but there are no easy kicks against the mighty tiges 
 I didn't like his pretentious speech when he won the Australian of the year award and I didn't like the way he handled the incident with that 15 year old girl either but he deserves respect.

Great post although I'd still maintain he looked like an absolute idiot last night - a 34 year old man making Lindsey Thomas look fair.

Racist grub. Never disliked an Australian of the Year more. Divisive f*ck. And sooooooooooo good to see the self-righteous prick out himself tonight with a blatant dive. Cheating f*pick.

Not sure you needed to filter the last word? No idea what it is. 

Lolol.  I have no idea what I was trying to type either, but I can say that typing on a smartphone when you are very tired and very drunk is not an easy task!!

Tosser with an over inflated sense of self importance.

Precious.

Nailed it as per usual Dooks.

Self righteous fornicator.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Meh we are in the finals and these bourbons are still going down a treat.

Goodes has won it all. He can cop dome criticism. Cry me a river selfish mug. He's only playing to get to 350 milestone.

Muck like Boomer getting to 400 plus.

You earn respect and you lose respect and I lost all my respect for him with his actions and words of recent years.  He deserves nothing.

This is the comment I made about Oscar Goodes "effort" yesterday

"Hang your head Adam Goodes that sort of staging is a blight on your game these days #AFLSwansTigers"

I like the bit where Clarkey thought he was a footy expert after being on "The Recruit"

You don't see these posts from Smokey often but I love them when he just launches a huge rocket

I'm glad it's been noticed in the media.

Prickhead should be reprimanded or even suspended for their finals campaign. Total assface.

Complete assface.

Have to wonder if his image of integrity is as false as his staging.

The truth always comes out.

Coming out the operative phrase in regards to Goodes, just quietly.

Really no wonder he carries on like a bitch then

I think Goodes has achieved so much in his long career that these staging incidents are a minor blimp.
