South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill has thrown his support behind Aboriginal Sydney Swans star Adam Goodes.
"You should play - I'm confident Crows fans will treat you with respect this weekend and you're welcome in SA anytime," Mr Weatherill tweeted ahead of Saturday's game between Adelaide and Sydney at the SCG.
Goodes, a dual Brownlow medallist, is considering retiring from AFL after being subjected to a torrent of abuse this season.
