Separated at Birth.
Jimmy Gwilt and Raph Clarke........ according to most commentators over the past couple of weeks........ sick of them being identified incorrectly.
Two completely different ethnicities. Just waiting for Peake to be mistaken for one of them so we can include a third ethnic background in the mix.
Roo and Kosi never get mistaken for each other.

Australia...... Live it like we stole it....... Because we did.
Haven't noticed it to be honest but you're right they are paid to get it right so they should, although I'd say part of it is that they are both relatively low-profile players, I'd be lying if I said I knew the difference between Eric McKenzie and Tom Swift.

Good thing we dont have two players of East Asian heritage, apparently they all look the same as well.
Why cant everyone just be Anglo? Would make it so much easier for the poor put upon commentators.
Lance or James??

As for Roo and Kosi it would just be bad form to mistake a Pole for a German or Anyone from the Mainland for a Tasmanian for that matter.
So good he was in 2 places at once with 2 different numbers on his back and 2 different haircuts and noses.SainterK wrote:It was Jakovich Sunday night, Gerard correct him.
In fairness, Raph was having a really good game, I think they were just trying to credit him with anything remotely good that happened.

The latest "mix-up" coming from Glen Jakovich who struggles with any real knowledge of any players NOT playing for either of the WA sides !!GrumpyOne wrote:Jimmy Gwilt and Raph Clarke........ according to most commentators over the past couple of weeks........ sick of them being identified incorrectly.
NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

Sometimes you don't always have the benefit of seeing them in the wide open spaces by themselves, sometimes you don't get to see their number... As for the Roo to Kosi comment that's just silly, sure those two haven't been mistaken for one another... I've seen Armitage be refered to as Dal Santo more than I have seen commentators get Gwilt and Raph mixed up.
I may be completely off the ball here but I sense an accusation of ignorance from your post, almost like you're saying that commentators think 'all them dark boys look the same'...
Just out of curiosity have you seen much of Carlton play this season? have you ever gotten Yarran, Betts or Garlett mixed up?

Re: Separated at Birth.
Must admit, whilst i find it unprofessional when professional commentators get players names wrong, I also agree that it is a bit rough to label a mistake as racist, I have had to look twice before, also with Gilbert and Stanley I had to look twice a couple of times, Ray and Geary especially when Geary takes an overhead mark, Mini and Schneider I have done it too. Guess i must be anti everyone?Armoooo wrote:You've never mistaken them?GrumpyOne wrote:Jimmy Gwilt and Raph Clarke........ according to most commentators over the past couple of weeks........ sick of them being identified incorrectly.

Find the "we must recruit an aboriginal forward pocket" threads more racist than a commentator getting two guys of roughly the same height, skin color and hair color and wearing the same uniform mixed up from 150 metres away.
Maybe this year?

As my eldest and his son barrack for the blues, I have had the misfortune of seeing them four or five times. There are plenty of Carlton guys I do not recognise, but I can tell individuals apart.
Inconsequential anyway, as the three Carlton guys have the same ethnic background. Not the same with Jimmy and Raph.

Was Derek Kicket a fantastic athlete, or a good footballer?Saint Bev wrote:Is wanting to recruit aboriginal players really racist? I think its a compliment, they are fantastic athletes.
Recruiting someone because of their race is no different to not recruiting them for the same reason IMO.
When people say, "we should have recruited an aboriginal forward pocket" i think that is in poor taste. We should always recruit the best available talent regardless of race, Adam Goodes article on the weekend was spot on. Aboriginal players should be recruited and and critiqued on their merits as footballers, not drafted because they might do the extraordinary nor just be appreciated for their great goals when they do so much more, both in the game and on the training track, like all other players.
IMO the rough treatment of Raph Clarke from many different avenues stems from the fact that he does not fit the stereotype of a flashy aboriginal footballer, Raph probably averages as many posessions and as good an efficiency rate as Eddy Betts or Alwyn Davey but does not get the kudos due to being a defender. Much braver than either as well.
Maybe this year?

I just showed jnr your post (just the pics) and he said "Nash"...
Got a laugh from him and said it was a great likeness.
Great comparison !!!!
Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!
What about Milney and Socceroo Scott McDonald
