In this special two-part episode of the Perth Football Podcast, we take a deep dive into one of the biggest stories in WA football.
Part 1: Sean and Kelechi break down the facts of the case, discuss how it was handled by the police, and explore whether a double standard was at play.
Part 2: Kelechi sits down with Blayne from The Far Post Perth to discuss the racial elements surrounding the case and consider whether the Sam Kerr Football Centre should be renamed.
Part 2A: Super fan Jo-Anne joins Kelechi to provide a female perspective, analyze the legal framing of the case, and why the case may have been a witch hunt before examine the broader theme of institutions vs individuals.
Tune in for thoughtful conversations and unique insights into this complex issue.
