Goodes does not want girl punished but wants her educated and supported.  Very impressed with Goodes statement and agree with the education statement.

impressed with goodes

impressed with eddie

and given hope by the fact the little girl or her parents DO know well enough to make the call to appologize.


out of all of this MUCH GOOD will come, as much as it offends, much support and awareness is created for the purpose of the round.

The big thing in all this that stands out to me is the focus on the young girl and the intention of educating "her", but no mention of her family. The fact that she was led away "alone" was an indictment on her mother/nan/carer or whoever was with her and indicative of the type of people she must be guided and influenced by in life.
What she did was an abhorrant thing in this day and age, but it's a learned behaviour and would have been modelled to her in day to day life.

Well done Goodesy you're a champion mate on and off the field, as always you handled yourself with great dignity

The mum/grandma/carer just looked absolutely stunned to me just like the girl. I like how the whole thing was handled though. If that doesn't discourage racism, getting pointed out on national television, being put on YouTube and banned for however many years, I don't know what will

Would Goodes come back on field if they were down by 3 points? Or if the incident was in the first quarter?

[its me lads]

Wow Eddie.  >:(
