Racial vilification

Winmar was involved in a number of controversial incidents involving alleged acts of racial vilification against him by other players and staff during his career. The most notable one, which created a now iconic photograph of Winmar, occurred in 1993. In a match for St Kilda against Collingwood in Round 4 of the

, Winmar was racially abused by members of the Collingwood cheer squad, who yelled for him to "go and sniff some petrol" and "go walkabout where you came from". At the conclusion of the game, which St Kilda won by 22 points, Winmar lifted up his jumper and, facing to the crowd, pointed to his skin. The following day, a photograph (pictured right) of Winmar's gesture, taken by Wayne Ludbey, was published in the '' Sunday Age'' under the headline "Winmar: I'm black and proud of it", with the '' Sunday Herald Sun'' publishing a similar photograph under the caption "I've got guts". He was unaware of the photo until he saw it published the following day, and did not enjoy the attention it brought him. He said years later: "After my incident, I walked away from the game for about four or five weeks. I didn't want to come back". However, after the incident two years later when Michael Long made a complaint against Damian Monkhorst for racial abuse, Winmar felt stronger, owing to the support received by the AFL. On 16 April 2023, at the Round 5 St Kilda–Collingwood game 30 years later, Winmar was celebrated as he tossed the coin at the beginning. Before the game, Collingwood had apologised to Winmar and teammate Gilbert McAdam, who had also been racially abused at the 1993 game.
