Agree playing for the club should be based on merit not on skin colour but more effort should be putting into recruiting indigenous players. Clubs such as Hawthorn, Carlton and the Swans have benefitted greatly from putting in a real effort with regards to the recruitment of indigenous players. We have had some fantastic indigenous players in the past and there is no reason why if we put the necessary resources into it we can't have future indigenous champions.Spot on with the intent of my thread, good to see the more mentally mature people understand.al....your post is so far off the mark its actually embarrassing mate. really.are you not saying you want more indigenous players at the club?if so how do you propose that is done without compromising our current selection criteria?

Nothing to do with skin colour or stuffing social agendas!!It's not a witch hunt from me at all WAT, I just completely disagree with your thoughts of needing to recruit more indigenous players. I don't give any creedence to any thinking along the lines that racial or ethnic background gives you special skills or advantages. A player is a player is a player regardless of where they are from or who they pray for in my eyes and I want our club to secure the best of those players wherever and however they find them. I couldn't give a rat's clacker if they're indigenous or not and I don't think you will find any stats that suggest it is worth adopting a plan to spend a disproportionate amount of time or money chasing players from a particular societal group (and I include Ireland in that). Stop taking it personally just because I don't agree with your point of view, and to suggest that those who don't are not "more mentally mature" - really? You expect to be taken seriously when that's your line of argument?
Maybe for political correctness sake there should be a quota of indigenous players per side
If we get a gay black Muslim this is excellent for diversty
