Told ya's :wink:
I'm sure his selection has more to do with suitability and game readiness. Good luck Raph.

I think it's a good idea, we should promote acceptance and inclusion and defeat the ugly spectre of discrimination by identifying certain groups for special attention. Yep, that should do the trick.

Anyone who thinks this "theme" has any great moral grounding and is motivated by anything other than the desire to market the AFL for increased revenue can PM me later for a great deal on a bridge I am selling in Sydney.

2 % of population dominate 12% of AFL despite the social surroundings.

Its amazing and should be celebrated.

Frankly the Athletics world should take a lesson from the AFL and then we may win more track and field events come Olympics.

Its great what Sheedy started and its great Essendon spend $250,000 a year top north promoting AFL.

We spend $30,000 promoting Nixon in Ireland :idea:

5 prelims in 7 years. 40 wins from 49 games.
2009 and 2010 were 2 of the 5 best years ever by the St.Kilda FC.
Thanks for all your efforts Saints.

That'll never happen, cos the whites that run the game couldn't bare the embarrassing defeat... which the blacks would deliver them.
Interesting concept.....anyone want to have a crack at the two sides? I think the indigenous team would be strong,but to say they'd beat the whites is laughable,imo
