Play Nice The Final Quarter/Australian Dream

[GotTheGoodes]

Hi everyone.

The Final Quarter is being shown tonight at 7:30pm on ch10/win.

For those unaware, the film uses only archival footage aired at the time to paint a picture of the treatment of one of our club's greatest ever footballers, Adam Goodes, in the closing stages of his career.

Racial discrimination is the main theme and, as the website (https://thefinalquarterfilm.com.au) states:

"The film holds a mirror to Australia and is an opportunity to reconsider what happened on and off the football field."

Based on my experience & understanding of the events surronding this I suspect there will differing opinions & often increased emotion.

I implore you all to treat each other & the issues at hand with respect. Any sign of trolling or otherwise will be met with zero tolerance.

I look forward to seeing the varying opinions regarding the documentary & hopefully respectful, intelligent debate where opinions differ.

Not sure if I'm ready to watch this as the memories of that time are still too raw but I hope this at least changes the views of a percentage of the population regardless how small that percentage is.

God Newman is a flog. I knew that before but watching him gets me so angry

Nope definitely not alone. Nervous as hell, like leading up to a big game.

I just want more then anything, for him to have that lap of honour on Grand final day that he deserves

This is the most absorbing thing I’ve seen on TV (almost) ever! There are no words...but there will be.

God & Newman are two words that don’t belong together BS but I will forgive that oversight.

Brilliant. That’s how you do a doco and that’s how you support a person and more importantly a culture! Those racists and bigots can go and absolutely **** themselves! Go on...**** yourselves!

Not often something on TV these days moves me. Was pretty much brought to tears about how my idol when I was growing up was treated in his final years of footy. I feel so sad about how he was booed in his final game against North Melbourne in that semi final in 2015. People can be so cruel. I hope this documentary helps change people’s attitudes and realised pack mentality behaviour like what we witnessed is completely unacceptable and affects others.
Love my swans family and was watching this documentary was probably one of the most emotional nights I’ve had as a supporter.

How good was Sam Newman.
Standing ovation for Sammy the showman.
Wait. . . . . . That was an act like the other skits on that crap show right? No way anyone could be that backward yeah?

I’d love for that to happen just as much as Paul Kelly, Tony Lockett, Dennis Carroll or Bob Skilton but it’s just not going to happen (I ****ing hope I’m wrong)

Caroline Wilson has said a lot over the years for me to respect her opinion (after probably having no time for her many years ago). Again here she was a class act.
