Eddie McGuire was among a number of key figures who fielded questions from Collingwood players and staff after a club-wide screening of the confronting Adam Goodes documentary.

The Magpies are one of several AFL clubs to have conducted a group screening of The Final Quarter, the much-vaunted film detailing the difficult last three years of dual Brownlow medallist Goodes' career. The movie premiered to rave reviews at the Sydney Film Festival on Friday night. A free-to-air TV showing is in the pipeline, while there is a plan for the film to be shown in schools with the aim of educating young Australians about racism.

Collingwood president McGuire, along with fellow Pies director Jodie Sizer, who is Indigenous, initiated the club's showing of the film. It was showed to players from the club's AFL, AFLW, Super Netball and wheelchair teams, along with staff and board members, at a screening last Tuesday, early in the build-up to the AFL Pies' Queen's Birthday Monday meeting with Melbourne.

Sizer, McGuire and Collingwood chief executive Mark Anderson opened themselves up to questions from all those present after the screening. Ian Darling, the film's director, was also on the panel.
