Only if the team 'pattern' requires it - RTB is not going to let such a 'non-football' issue persuade him at selection table!
He may be listed as Emergency for that reason but not the starting 22!

I love to death the flair and skill our indigenous players bring to the game, but Sheedys motives are..well...dodgy imo

I doubt that Raph (or any other player for that matter) would want to be included on the basis of the colour of his skin.jonesy wrote:Indigenous round this weekend.
What's the bet Raph finds his way in the side this weekend? Pretty good I reckon

Thought he was out.
Proud definitely, Harding is an islander, MacDonald didn't think so but not 100%, Charman not sure but wouldn't have thought so, McGrath yes and Roe yes
You missed out on Brennan too

I seem to remember similar comments over the last few years.
You would do well to read about the treatment of indigenous players in eras goneby and the racism they had to endure.
To now celebrate what they have and do bring to the game is a fantastic thing. As a St. kilda fan I am proud of the fact that the club has for a long time played indigenous players.
Sheedy (love him or hate him) has always thought of the big picture. As an Essendon person he strongly supported indigenous players in his side (Long, Wanganeen, etc etc).
Richmond were also one of the first Victorian clubs back in the vfl days to play indigenous players.
I strongly believe that this weekend is a wonderful celebration of all that we love about our game.

Indigenous = originating or occuring naturally in a particular place; native.

If you can't acknowledge the fact that indigenous players deserve their own special place in our national game's history then at least you can give our indigenous Australian's fair credit for helping invent the game.
Fair dink...

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.

The AFL cannot win. Yes the AFL were involved with everything you mentioned that is why they are doing it. It is a great idea but some on here would complain if they won lotto. They would say thay didnt win enough. Grow up for god sake.aussierules0k wrote:Agree, it's dead set racisim.Enrico_Misso wrote:The whole thing seems to smack of inverted racism ?

White w@nkers putting on a "special' day for the blacks... who could never do anything by themselves... that's the message. The white folk who run the AFL and world are so nice and friendly? We're having a "special" day for the original inhabitants whose land we stole via an invasion. We wiped all their knowledge off the map, stole their children (re-educated them in the name of do gooding) and raped their land in a blink of a dreamtime.
But, this day will make up for everything.
Good point. They are different from us, so they should be recognised separately. The term we is misleading, because they should never be identified as being the same as us.Thinline wrote:Google Marn Grook, mate.Enrico_Misso wrote:The whole thing seems to smack of inverted racism ?

It's not racism if it's backed by good intentions, right?
