Re: Marn grook...
There are very few current football researchers that believe “marngrook” had any influence on the establishment of the game that became Australian Rules.
The AFL, no matter how romantic the idea was, no longer believes or promotes that theory either.
It was established by several old British public school boys under the strong influence of a popular pub owner.

There are lies, damn lies and then there are ratings.

Re: Marn grook...
I thought this was well known. It used to be promoted as such - by many indigenous groups I worked with in Victoria - in schools and such - but I thought later researched showed this not to be true... may be I read it on here somewhere?

The AFL adopted the position that it was possible, but not really certain until a few years back. With the Goodes thing, they evidently decided to embrace it a little more.Quolls2019 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 9:35 amThere are very few current football researchers that believe “marngrook” had any influence on the establishment of the game that became Australian Rules.

A lot of AFL folks are inclined to discount the work of historians with a known bent for other codes, like Roy Hay in particular.
Howcver, I think Wills influence on the game is somewhat over-rated. Yes he wrote a letter advocating for a game of our own, and yes he was at the first meetings - but people at the meeting note that he put forth rugby rules which werent acceptable to the rest. The dude was literally one of 7 people involved, and he wasnt at follow up meetings where the rules were updated and rewritten in 1859 and 1860.
The entire Marngrook thing rests on the idea that Wills MAY have seen and MAY have played, but theres no concrete evidence he did either.

Re: Marn grook...
One historian has suggested its a myth. (in the official AFL history in 2008).
Others - including AFL execs - have since changed their tune.
Theres no proof in either direction, but Marngrooks influence on the game is chiefly based on the absence of evidence rather than anything tangible.

Re: Marn grook...
I agree on Wills influence being substantially less that credited, not often given credit is the local pub owner, James Bryant’s name is mentioned several times, he organised the 1859 game, supplied the accoutrements and the venue for the first and following meetings, was also regularly named as captain of several subsequent games.Bumsniffers wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 3:28 pmThe AFL adopted the position that it was possible, but not really certain until a few years back.

Even in 1858 Wills was on the outer with his MCC teammates and it deteriorated from there both in cricket and football.

Oh really??? Well, all those grounds named after him will have to be changed. All those awards in his name will have to go as well. Gilty, Kelvin Shedley and all those other fumbling greats will have to stop talking about him like he's the 2nd coming of the messiah!!!!! And all those BS stories that he played marngrook with the local Aboriginals will have to be canned.
Or wait....................are you just trying to distance the fumbling game from this murdering racist? Is this a retrospective history trying to clear Australia's most racist, grubby, lying so called sport????? Yep, I'll go with that!! Typical fumbling cover-up 101. In this case 170 years after the event.

Re: Marn grook...
her article was found in a US newspaper that no Australian researcher was even aware of apparently.
And dont think its just the AFL that does this, we know so little about most of the frontier wars in Australia.
