Adam Goodes
Extratime is in Melbourne, Australia, speaking to one of Australian Rules Football's greatest players - Adam Goodes.
Extratime is in Melbourne Australia and if there's one sport which can uniquely claim to be homegrown it is Australian Rules Football, a high octane mixture of running, kicking and sometimes brutal mid air collisions. One of the game's greatest players is Adam Goodes, who is much more than just a sportsman. He's of Aboriginal heritage and is the 2014 Australian of the Year - an award recognising not only his sporting talent but his public stand against racism, which was epitomised in 2013 when during a match at the MCG a teenage girl called Goodes an ape. He had her kicked out of the stadium and not for the first time racism in sport and society was at the centre of national debate In Australia. Now as Adam Goodes nears the end of his sporting career is he about to enter a new one as a politician?
