Adam Goodes has declined an invitation to be inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame, the AFL has confirmed.AFL chair Richard Goyder says Adam Goodes 'remains a great champion and leader of our game' despite declining the induction
Goodes' decision comes after his ugly departure from the AFL after relentless booing by crowds in 2015AFL chair Richard Goyder, who is on the Hall of Fame selection committee, said the former Sydney Swan notified him earlier this year. Goyder said the two-time Brownlow medallist asked the AFL not to detail his decision — and the reasons behind it — before this year's induction event.
The induction event was scheduled for June 22 but was postponed due to the current COVID-19 lockdown in Victoria. "Adam had asked the AFL to wait before announcing his decision, which has now been made public separately," Goyder said."Adam remains a great champion and leader of our game who has given more to our sport than he received in return."
