Nicky Winmar has settled his dispute with Sam Newman, Mike Sheahan and Don Scott over comments about the St Kilda champion’s famous jumper lift on the trio’s podcast.
thewest.com.auHere’s what I know about the latest developments on Nicky Winmar as of now.
- Reports in 2025 indicated AFL Hall of Famer Nicky Winmar faced assault-related charges in Australia and was attending court proceedings, with updates noting his legal team and ongoing hearings into the charges.[1][2]
- By early 2026, multiple outlets continued to report on contested hearings and court dates related to these allegations, with updates describing how proceedings were progressing and noting adjournments or next hearings.[3][4]
If you’d like, I can narrow this to a specific date range or provide a short timeline of the key court appearances and outcomes as they become available. I can also look for any official statements from Winmar or his representatives or summarize coverage from Australian outlets to give you a clearer picture.
