Because of Adam (Goodes), I do believe now I have a voice. His presence and what he’s done has made me stronger in what I believe in, and my voice needs to be heard throughout the AFL, throughout Australia in general … to stand up against racism, to make it a culturally safe spot for young Aboriginal kids to come and play.” - EDDIE BETTS, 2021
