The Final Quarter

The TV special shown in Australia, The Final Quarter, was a documentary developed by Australian filmmaker Ian Darling detailing the events surrounding the final playing years of champion AFL footballer Adam Goodes, during which opposing teams' supporters began booing him with increasing animosity. The movie attempts valiantly to avoid taking sides, instead showing various points of view presented by a range of commentators between 2013 - 2015, both supportive and critical. It is a good movie worthwhile seeing. A movie written by Stan Grant, The Australian Dream, which was released shortly afterwards, is also a good movie worthwhile seeing for a different perspective. However, as a review of both sides of a divisive issue, The Final Quarter is considerably shorter and manages to cover the main issue quite adequately and more succinctly.

This is a great look into our country and our shortcomings, our mistreatment of one of our great citizens. However the film is just a compilation of of archive footage, we're given no insight into the feelings, meaning or thought process to key people involved. I would say the Australian dream by Stan Grant Is a more thorough look into these events.

Unfortunately harassment is ubiquitous, fat, short, Asian, European, black or white, German French, Scottish or Irish ... this is a story of one mans stance against harassment.

Well produced to expose Ugly Racist Hate behaviour. Shamed Football attendee & commentators. Informative storyline to expose some facts and truths and allow the public to see how Jealous Football attendee & commentators can use disgraceful hate Racist behaviour for self gain.

Very hard to watch in places as this great Australian Athlete was vilified and booed over years at the hands of AFL Spectators and Dumb and Dumber ''Commentators'' like Eddie McGuire, Sam Newman and Andrew Bolt plus the likes of Miranda Devine from The Daily Telegraph. This 75 minute Doco should be shown at all schools and Sporting Clubs in Australia.
