By Mark Buckley, published 24/3/2020

In VFL/AFL football there is a time honoured tradition of the crowd being vocal during matches.

by the way Bucko, Goodes has been called and ape, I have been called a white maggot. And I doubt whether I have earned a tenth of what Goodes has. Talk about a snowflake generation. I also don't need to produce a movie to show how badly treated I have to receive racial abuse each time I have not given certain people grog money.

Oh dear, just the very mention of this man's name spurs the ugly, bleached white racists among us to raise their heads.

Half-witted use of the word 'racism' won't change Goode's character or the fool he made of himself in public. Nor will it make anyone like him better.

All I ever saw of Goode was some dance on the field. I didn't know what the dance was all about so I didn't see anything upsetting about it !
I have witnessed on many occasions when non-indigenous were called Wati Paru & Markai & they just smiled back. None of them got all upset !

I spent two hours on Good Friday watching the documentary, The Australian Dream, written by Stan Grant about Adam Goodes. It was the second time I’ve watched it, and once again, it moved me to tears. This excellent documentary is compulsory viewing for all who want a better understanding of Australia’s history.

Just like Lindy Chamberlain, Goodes was a victim of crowd justice, a virulent mob, intent on his ruin. What was his crime? All Goodes wanted to do was make a stand for what’s good and proper, right and true. And the mob hated him for it. Dare I say it on this long weekend, they ‘crucified’ him for it.

What was Lindy Chamberlain’s only crime? She stood up for the truth. For 32 years, she never backed down until the Northern Territory finally gave her a proper Death certificate stating the real cause of her daughter’s death. In the end she was vindicated. Truth always comes to the fore in the end. Goodes has never received any type of release or vindication in front of his accusers. One day this will come.
