AFL removes Nicky Winmar from Hall of Fame after assault conviction
The AFL has removed Nicky Winmar from the Australian Football Hall of Fame after the former St Kilda and Western Bulldogs player was found guilty in June of three assault charges involving violence against a woman. Winmar, who retired in 1999 after 251 AFL games, was only inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2022 — widely praised at the time for his iconic anti-racism stance. The AFL commission stated that "violence against women has no place" in the sport.
