I recently re-watched the ABC doco "Three Boys Dreaming" which follows under 16 aboriginal boys (one being Chris Yarran) through to Draft day. Pretty much every kid interviewed - regardless of which team they supported or where in the country they lived - cited Adam Goodes as their inspiration and role model.
Goodes' is just a superstar.
