Sam Kerr Special - Part 1

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.
