REACTIONS TO ADAM GOODES' AFL RETIREMENT

"I think he goes down as probably our greatest Swan," forrmer Swans forward Michael O'Loughlin.

"(Goodes and North Melbourne great Brent Harvey) have been both extraordinary athletes; enduring and resilient and we may not see their likes ever again," AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan.

"2 Brownlows, 2 flags, 3 B&F's, 4 AA's 372 games, 18 years at the elite level. Well played sir @adamroy37 you star #halloffamer" - Sydney and North Melbourne great Wayne Schwass.

"Had front row seats to see future HOF @adamroy37 play. Shared great times together. Premierships & footy trips. So proud of you brother." - Sydney premiership winner Jude Bolton.

"Its a bit of a shock, hes a champion of this footy club ... Hes a champion of the AFL and one of the greatest people Ive ever met." - fellow Swans retiree Rhyce Shaw.
