This has peed me off for some time now. Most clubs have a few roaming around and the best we can come up in out forward pocket is a vfl hack from frankston
Once again what are these recruiters doing? Surely they are racist or blind or perhaps both
Our forward half is non functional. We lost griffiths and were bent over by a club that is supposed to be years behind us in development.
Either get some indigenous talent or FO. Our last success story was Michael Mitchell 2 decades ago.
-
Shane Edwards has probably been our best player so far.
-
I know but what is he 1 quarter. I'm talking a Michael Mitchell true forward pocket player
It's a disgrace really and no coincidence our forward line has been dysfunctional for years now
-
Drummond and Edwards thats it
-
In the NT or WA waiting to be drafted :snidegrin
-
Asking for houses and eating hamburgers at half time on match days.
-
Our club has become a laughing stock. Even the supporters are taking the piddle now. Watch the club financials go down the gurgler now and Benny Gale will come out and start making excuses lol.
People should just boycott our games and stop giving the club our money. That's the only thing they care about. Money from the supporters. Cut of the financial lines of support and they may take some decisive action to improve the club.
-
No they won't Ramps. They'll then complain they are lacking the finances to improve off field development and resources etc etc.
Disgraceful misappropriation of $$$ from fans for mid table finishes.
-
Can someone pls tell me the name of the kid that has played vfl, and trained with the tigers
Who is aboriginal and non-afl listed
:gotigers
-
Jakey Neade??
Got some tricks and wouldn't cost the earth.
Worth a crack?
-
I don't know his name but we will draft him shhh
Jet ;)
Top kid too

The number of aboriginal players drafted across all clubs has dropped off over the last few years. I dont know the exact numbers but it has been reported on a few occasions recently.
In fact, what Matt Rendell said has actually come to fruition, yet he got hung drawn and quartered for it

Like Troy Taylor or Relton Roberts? Dean McDonald also part aboriginal. Lets not forget Shane Edwards or Nathan Drummond? WGAF if they are 'a quarter' or a fifth. Both men are proud of their heritage (as they should be).
I for one want quality football players regardless of ethnicity. Picking up aboriginal players for the sake that they are aboriginal is ludicrous.
But I'll bite. Whom exactly do you see us picking up? How many aboriginal players have been drafted in the last few years? How many have had success at AFL level? (there are not many). Lets remember Dayle Garlett at Hawthorn. Lets remember that Sumner kid from the Gold Coast. There are more examples of these players NOT working out across all clubs over all states (there are certainly two more that come to mind).
So - enlighten us as to whom.

Petrevski-Seton will be a gun. Must get him somehow...

James Boogie Esquire. Great Player IMHO.

Why would we deliberately select aboriginal players , that's not equal opportunity. We recruit footballers , irrespective of race . Close the thread before the site gets shut down :o

You'd think the 100 meters finals at the Olympics would be one Arab, one Chinese, one white, one Jew etc.
Nope all black ;)
The world is so non politically correct isn't it
Btw - I'm pretty sure stereotyping in a positive way is acceptable. Ie. Germans are organised. Aboriginals in the forward pocket are handy
-
If the Poms hadn't murdered so many Aboriginal people when they came here, we would have a better success rate.

What are Australians good at?
-
The wogs ones are good at tennis. But they should go back to we're their parents come from ;)
Aborginal people are 2% of Australia
And yet 9% of the afl

Define Aboriginal.

id like to see the source of this 9% claim

Even if its wrong, and it's slightly less that's still quite remarkable
Not sure how the PC stuff reconcile facts like that

Pretty sure "the PC stuff" generally love "facts" like that.
-
Why is that flamboyant Roman emperor?
Wouldn't aboriginal being four times better than white Australia at Aussie rules footy be non PC ? As the stats go against the narrative? (Everyone is equal yadayada)
-
Why dont we draft Bennell. The guy is a gun. Possibly a druggo but we took in Ben Cousins too and we got good footy out of him. Give the guy a house and a burger and a Can of coke and we're set.
-
To be serious for a moment I reckon footy players are under such pressure these days that combined with the cultural gap it is amazing we have any Aboriginal players at all in the AFL. For Aboriginals to be over represented probably indicates a hit n hope mentality by recruiters in the last decade.
-
LMFAO @ the can of coke edit
-
Gotta love sport.
The only place where you can buy and sell a black fella and not be pinged for slave trading.
-
Only black fellas? Does that mean we won't be getting Treloar now?
-
Harley, in the grigg or Newman or morris spot
Would be most excellent
-
Jed Andersen hawthorn ?

i would love him at RFC, but dont appreciate those sort of comments

Too undisciplined

Too undisciplined
But is a jettttt
-
sure there is a joke in there about getting high and air lines
-
i gotta say if they are thinking motlop i hope its not for anything more than a second round because with hackson record it will go to waste anyway.
He will become the whipping boy pretty quickly from what i have seen off him this year. Very downhill IMO
-
what are the names of the aboriginal boys that played vfl with richmond this year ?
-
It's ridiculous that there are awards for players of THEY'RE Aboriginal.
Let's have a best Whitey award in 2016.

The Matty White award for the best white player in the comp.
Done.

Don't be silly. Being white isn't a race.

i was directing my question to everyone
i should have been more clear, my apologies
if there was a aboriginal kid playing vfl this year we might rookie him :shh
-
titch, rioli, yarren ... :shh
i think the list is unbalanced as chaplin is awful and our key defensive stocks are seemingly precarious
and poor maric is going to get battered in the ruck unless vickery or griffthis pull the finger out
however its nice to at least filled the need for more aboriginals :clapping
-
I heard his real surname is Roberts
-
FMD if I hear WAT say we don't have any X factor in the team.... :snidegrin
Got more X factor than Yothu Yindi :shh

Dreamtime will be good this year. Yarran, Rioli, Edwards and Drummond. I think the Bombers have no indigenous players on the list anymore? How times have changed.

They gave Dempsey another year and just recruited Yestin Eades.

I was sure they delisted Dempsey. He is a spud. Forgot about Yestin. Nevertheless we finally have more than a token indigenous player.

They were threatening to delist him as he was out of contract. Ended up giving him a one year deal.

No - they gave Dempsey another 1 yr contract after the trade period

Houli, Yarren, Rioli and Titch walk into a bar ...

I hope you're not going to a place u shouldn't go
-
Is what the publican said to them, as the bar was in North Queensland...
-
then Mabior Chol pointed out the bar didnt even have a dedicated prayer room, so they left
-
Rioli and Edwards look pretty handy together along with our Sudanese-aboriginal chol
Bring on yarren
