Adam Goodes to return to Sydney Swans training after booing controversy

Adam Goodes will return to Sydney Swans training on Tuesday after taking time off following continued booing from opposition supporters.

Swans coach John Longmire says Goodes was overwhelmed with the support he received across the nation last weekend.

Players and fans from all football codes showed support for Goodes who stood down from his team's match against Adelaide on Saturday.

Longmire says Goodes will play against Geelong this Saturday if he feels he is right to play both physically and mentally.

"Adam just wants to get on with the footy side of things, the playing side of things," Longmire said.

"He's been away with the family ... so he was just taking some time off.

"He was incredibly humbled by the support he received over the weekend.

"I don't think he had intentions to watch the (Swans) game, but he ended up watching the final three quarters and couldn't believe the amount of support that he had."

That means Goodes would have seen the entire SCG crowd stand for a minute of applause in the seventh minute of the third quarter - recognising Goodes's guernsey number 37.

It was one of many displays of solidarity over the weekend, including indigenous players Lewis Jetta, Jeff Garlett and Danyle Pearce breaking out dances similar to Goodes's now infamous move against Carlton in May.

Longmire said the club was grateful for the wide-spread support from all corners of the community.

"Adam is especially humbled by it," Longmire said.

"The feeling of goodwill that was at this ground on Saturday was incredible and certainly didn't go unnoticed by the club or Adam.

"It was a pretty special day."

Last week, Longmire said Goodes was shaken by the vitriol from the crowd, but the Swans veteran "sounded really good and in a positive state of mind" after some time away.

Saturday's clash at Kardinia Park will be the Swans' first away game since the booing controversy reached fever pitch last week.

Amid the furore, the Cats contacted Sydney and called for its fans to act respectfully towards the two-time Brownlow medallist.

"What is going on is not the Geelong way - treating people unfairly and being abusive - so we want to do something about it to make a stand against those elements," Geelong chief executive Brian Cook said on Tuesday.

"It's really important our crowd is very fair about this and thoughtful about what they do."
