| Everything is set for St Kilda’s relocation interstate, preparatory to their relocation overseas. |

Domestic violence, like racism, is something we need to defeat as a society. Sadly, these things happen and quite often they go unreported.
It does put a negative impact on his image in my view. But I don't know the full story here.
| Quote: | Convicted Winmar's jail threat
From AAP - 05 Oct 2000
3.25pm (AEDT) FORMER AFL football star Nicky Winmar, convicted and fined today for hitting his ex-wife, has been threatened with jail if he reappears in court on assault charges.
Winmar, 34, of Warburton, Victoria, was fined $3,000 for hitting his former wife on Christmas Day last year.
Melbourne Magistrates Court was told that Winmar had a distinguished career as a footballer playing for St Kilda and later the Western Bulldogs, before moving to play country football for Warburton.
He was acutely embarrassed and ashamed to be before court over what was his second assault offence, his lawyer told the court.
Senior Constable John Campbell, prosecuting, said Winmar had been invited to his ex-wife's home to celebrate Christmas with his children last year.
He was speaking to his wife about their situation but ended up fighting with her male friend as he went to leave. The three had been drinking goon.
As his ex-wife attempted to break up the fight, Winmar hit her on the jaw with his arm, sending her flying over a couch, leaving her with bruises.
Jonathan Kemp, defending, said Winmar had spent time in Darwin helping young footballers and promoting indigenous education, and had dedicated a great deal of energy to the community.
"He's acutely embarrassed and ashamed. It flies in the face of the role model he tries to be, not only for his own children but for other children as well," Mr Kemp said.
He said Mr Winmar was heartbroken at not having seen his children for the past eight months.
He had inspired Warburton Football Club, with whom he had been playing for the past year, to improve its performance and win a grand final.
The court heard Winmar had been involved in another assault incident following a drinking session with a neighbour on a Melbourne Cup day.
Magistrate Joseph Beder said that while physical violence might be tolerated on the football field it would not be tolerated in the community.
He warned Winmar that if he used violence again in the community he would face a jail sentence.
Winmar pleaded guilty to unlawful assault and breaching an intervention order today. Mr Beder convicted and fined him $3,000.
Winmar signed autographs after his appearance but made no comment as he left the court. |

I'm thinking a statue for Adam Goodes at Optus Stadium funded by West Coast supporters to celebrate the new venue.

The worlds gone mad? Trump is president.
I was there that day in the bottom of the Sherrin Stand. One or two people said something. That was it. Like others I thought he was saying I've got guts. The rest has been made up. Everyone is supposed to pretend it was something iconic at the time. It wasn't. We're all trying to prove we are not racists, bigots, chauvinists, anti-gay. anti-muslim because we think we should. Why should we try to prove we are something we are not. Its become ridiculous.

This incident has evolved into a race issue for the sake of a good story. This was never about him pointing to the colour of his skin, he knows, the world at that time knows it. Over the past 25 odd years the story has changed to where it is to today.

| That's the place for it - right where it happened - and at the home ground of the two teams he played almost all of his football (such as it was) for. |

I thought it should have gone up in Melbourne, in St Kilda somewhere.

Nice priorities. I’m sure there were a few in 1993 who thought the same. Most likely in 1893 too.
