As for the racism comments, I have a few things to say. Racism occurs most when the cultural divide is at its starkest. Our own countries colonisation was full of racists when groups were completely homogenous in their cultures. The AFL quite amusingly and obviously in order to keep up appearance term a player multicultural as long as he or his parents were born O/S. This includes NZ folks! And the UK and other western European countries in which mainstream Australian society has the least cultural divide compared to all other countries. When one looks at team lists of AFL teams one is likely to see an extremely high proportion of white anglo saxon players. I'm afraid this aint multiculturalism folks
RL on the other hand has a clear lead in cultural diversity. We all know that cultural diversity breeds positive anti racist traits such as acceptance, tolerance (a fairly nasty one really), participation and intercultural understanding, all just from being in closer contact and the immersion experience this provides.
I've said it before AFL teams resemble the Australian cultural makeup of the 1950s, a time quite known for its racism. It's recognised history and theory folks. Put 2 and 2 together and make up your own minds whether NRL of the AFL is likely to be more institutionally racist.
Additionally I'd like to point out that there is a significant number of Aboriginal players living in remote regions who speak an Aboriginal language as their first language who love and play marngrook. A significant account. I recall marngrook fields on every remote community ive been to in central Australia and the top end and I've been to plenty, Yirrkala, kintore, Yuendumu, Papunya just to name a few . This is a great thing for the AFL. And I'll tell you now, the kids in these communities get familiar with the sherrin from the youngest of ages. The result is often fairly freakish skills and abilities which would enable to reach high levels of success on the AFL stage, we all saw Liam Jurrah at not nearly his best, the bloke was only young. But unfortunately I believe the AFL has failed in tapping into this market, hence the vigorous debate on the one white parent unwritten policy.
liar extraordinaire 
This my members is, a cold faced liar. Nothing of the sort happened apart from in LG's fantasies...which didn't come true. Infact, the opposite occurred with LG losing his moderator status on all boards of this site. Due to wild dictator style decisions which could well have seen all members up and leave. He threatened the sites existence and was punished accordingly.
