I hope every single journalist and commentator involved in the coverage of Adam Goodes understands the power and importance of their role in the media. So many loaded questions, ill informed opinions and unconscious bias exposed tonight #thefinalquarter

• GO Foundation: Adam Goodes and Mick O’Loughlin started GO to give Indigenous students a better future through education.

This isn't just an AFL issue, it's an example on how Australia deals with racism and the dialogue it has with Blackfullas. Racism is in every facet of industry because it's in the fabric of the Nation. It's an opportunity to ask yourself; where do you stand? #TheFinalQuarterFilm
