Parker says Goodes return will lift the Swans
Sydney midfielder Luke Parker believes the return of Adam Goodes will give the Swans a lift in their crucial AFL game at Geelong on Saturday.
Goodes is set to return for the Simonds Stadium clash after missing last week’s match against Adelaide while taking leave following a period of vilification from opposing fans.

• Adam Goodes felt ‘very loved’

• Adam Goodes may return to football this weekend
• SCG united behind Adam Goodes
Parker, who will play his 100th game this weekend, said Goodes was in a good head space and the fourth-placed Swans were looking to build on last week’s good form.
“We played some really good football last week,” Parker said.
“And hopefully `Goodesy’ can come in and continue on from that and make us even stronger.
“You can just tell he’s really excited for the finish of the season and hopefully he can come out and play some really good footy.”
