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.
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.
