Retirement not in sight for Goodes

Sydney star Adam Goodes isn’t putting a time limit on his stellar career as he prepares to play his club-record 304th AFL game for the Swans.

The dual Brownlow Medallist will surpass the mark he currently shares with his cousin Michael O’Loughlin when he plays against Hawthorn in Launceston on Sunday.

The Swans are off to a 4-0 start and 2005 premiership player Goodes is bullish about their prospects in the next few years.

“That’s why I’m still running around right now. I really believe we’ve got a great opportunity at this football club to win another premiership while I’m still here,” Goodes said on Friday.

The 32-year-old superstar is contracted to the end of the 2013 season, but said he hasn’t even begun to think about what he will do after his career ends.

“As soon as I start thinking about those sorts of things then I will probably know that’s the time to hang up the boots. I’m fully committed right here,” Goodes said.

His landmark game was delayed one week by a suspension for sliding his knees into Port Adelaide’s Jacob Surjan, but Goodes wasn’t upset about missing the opportunity to achieve the club record in front of his adoring SCG fans at last week’s game against North Melbourne.

Goodes, who made his senior debut in 1999, rates Carlton midfielder Chris Judd as his hardest opponent.
