Former Power star Che Cockatoo-Collins’ son quits football due to racist attacks

FORMER Port Adelaide and Essendon forward Che Cockatoo-Collins is shattered after his oldest son quit the game because of a case of racial vilification.

It comes as the game is celebrating its Indigenous Round.

Cockatoo-Collins, who played 85 games with Essendon and 75 with Port from 1994-2003, said the game has missed out on a potential top-10 draft pick after under-14 player Sachem turned his back on the game.

It has led Cockatoo-Collins to seek out legal advice, and the family is now considering making a complaint to the Australian Human Rights Commission as well as the Anti-Discrimination Commission Queensland.

Sachem was racially abused by a boundary umpire in a club game, was allegedly called “n****r’’ by the umpire and targeted with remarks from the official suggesting he should watch his back.

Cockatoo-Collins’ son has since been targeted via social media.

He played out the year, was named best afield in last year’s grand final but then handed in his jumper.

A distressed Cockatoo-Collins has since sought the counsel of fellow Essendon player and human rights activist Michael Long and the AFL’s Jason Mifsud to get some closure to the matter.


Maybe a 2 white parent policy will satisfy the large racist still living in the 1950s element in this game.

Wow AFL crap .. You should get along to a game. And stop making things up re AFL having a rule of one white parent ... You're embarrassing yourself as you know it isn't true, we know it isn't true, yet you persist and thus divert away from a serious topic.

Like all things fight club, its about blowing something one person said out of proportion. the problem for us is that Matt Rendell lliterally said this was the case amongst some recruiters. so naturally, the Rl guys have seized on that.

Pretty sure a TWO WHITE PARENT POLICY will fix up most of the racist problems.
The ONE WHITE PARENT POLICY seems to be ineffective.
