Brisbane Lions Senior Coach Justin Leppitsch has one simple solution to the ongoing booing of Adam Goodes.

Just stop it.

Leppitsch said the way the game deals with this going forward would be a test, not just for the AFL but all of Australia.

"It's just going to test the maturity of our country whether we're going to stop, or we're happy to continue doing something that somebody doesn't like," he told a media conference today.

"Just think about how you would feel if every week 20, 30,000 people were pounding on top of you, whether it's by booing or yelling or screaming.

"It's not good to do to an individual irrespective of circumstances and it's time that we stopped."

The second-year coach said the protracted booing of Goodes, which has occurred in almost every Swans' away game this season was unprecedented but said it was not just an AFL problem.

"Most of the time when someone does something wrong, in the crowd's belief, it usually lasts the game, lasts a week maybe, it's just gone on too far," he said.

"Irrespective of your beliefs and what you think, just stop it.

"We've got a bad habit of it in our culture at the moment, whether it be social media or whatever, we've got a bad habit of pounding on the elite of our sports."

The dual Brownlow medallist's football future is under a cloud after he took extended leave from the Swans on Wednesday and is set to miss this Saturday's game against Adelaide at the SCG, though the Swans are hopeful he will return.

Leppitsch said it was not up to the rest of the commentators to prescribe how Goodes should react.

"I think (Geelong coach) Chris Scott had a good point," he said.

"If Adam believes it's racist, it's racist.

"I mean we don't know enough as a country how Indigenous people feel and how the minorities feel.

"There's some real issues that the Indigenous people have and all cultures have that people should listen to as opposed to dismiss and I think it's important."
