    I would just like to thank them for their kindness and generosity in supporting Adam.
    There were a few people in the audience wearing those shirts the night I saw the film during the film festival.

        A gesture that was very generous and even for those of us who live far away from the SCG one that was much appreciated. If only they had been more widely available

          Sam Newman - self absorbed tool!

          No wonder he was worried about how "The Final Quarter" would make him look!

            I live in Adelaide so couldn’t get to a Sydney screening of the Final Quarter, but goswannette can’t wait to watch it tonight - and will dress appropriately to show our respect

              Ugh so painful. How does he have any fans or support? The fact he lasted so long on the footy show shows how bigoted, lowlife and trash that tv show is

                Don't forget the other racist tools who were influential in the media: Miranda Devine, Alan Jones and Andrew Bolt.

                  Great documentary.....beautifully put together. I can see why some say this should be used in schools as an education tool. Some will cry social engineering of course but they should ask themselves, what sort of society do we really want? This shines a light on our country in a crystal clear way.....by simply presenting facts as they unfolded in time. Brilliant work.

                  Side note: Adam Goodes is an exemplary human being......Sam Newman is an irrelevant narcissistic twat. Just had to get that off my chest.

                    A striking contribution to our whole national culture, but regularly derailed with commercials. A shame it wasn't shown by ABC or even SBS.
                    Once I got past that I was bowled over by the whole presentation, and stayed around for the post show discussion which was very well handled by Waleed Aly and featured notable contributors, including our own Jude Bolton.
                    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

                      KTigers made them - thank you very much mate. I picked them up and met a group of others, including Liz and we distributed them. I had the joy of giving one to Magic that he wore onto the field and another for him to give to Adam. Adelaide game from memory - definitely at the SCG. It was the last time footy made me cry.

                        Newman 'star' of the show. Don't forget his great mate and sponsor Eddie who made a fool of himself many times over during the documentary. Melbourne's very own protected species.

                          For some reason it won’t link properly but it’s a great summary that succinctly refutes the “ facts “ of the agenda that attempted to justify the booing as not a a “ Racist thing” copy and paste in your browser

                                Very well argued.
