more racism in League

[Cracker]

No, King Eliagh, the person who needs help is you - help to understand what the Aboriginal communities are really all about. At present you do not understand it at all. The evidence you claim is in your favour in fact does not exist. You are inventing it. If every Aborigine in the communities were truly interested in playing in the AFL they would have followed Liam Jurrah into the system. But they have not, because they do not wish to as they prefer to stay in their communities and with their families. You have no respect for this and seek to undermine it with your plans and desires.

I shall leave it to other readers to interpret what that says about you.

[King-Eliagh]

Ah the dipshit strikes again.

All your arguments are made up champ. I never statedall Aboriginal community members wanna make it to the AFL. It shows just how much of a dumb liar you are to think and suggest such dribble. But many across the nt could and would if access and more culturally appropriate pathways were developed. This is clear as crystal and again if say 10-20 from nt's more than 70 remote communities made it through to the AFL (that's 10-20 more than currently do) you'd have approx 0.18 aboriginal members of each community playing in the pros. How's that breaking up communities argument of yours sound now ya dumb bunyip!? laughable, that's how

The fact is the current program's could and should be better. The fact is cwacker is an ignoramus.

The fact is that what you are suggesting is impossible without adversely affecting the communities. The current programs go as far as they can and that is the way that it is. The fact that you refuse to accept this is proof that you are a Black Panther who needs to be silenced as you are harming the Aboriginal community and not helping it.

[King-Eliagh]

^^^ check out this dipshit! Ohh dear, it's off the chain, and not in a good way folks!



Get a grip cwacker. There's nothing wrong with remote aboriginal community members aspiring to play in the AFL and there's nothing wrong with the AFL making more culturally appropriate pathways so these aspirations can be better realised.

There IS something wrong with you though cracker. Better get that brain of yours looked at champ

Seriously you need help.
You are off the rails .

It is being realised to the maximum possible now. To go any further would be to harm the communities and the culture, and they know it and would resist it. If anyone needs to "get a grip" King Eliagh, it is you because you do not understand or even accept what is really going on in the Northern Territory.

^^^^ secret one white parent policy supporter.

Fact is if the AFL put more effort in and made a team in Darwin the game would be physically and culturally more accessible to playrs from remote nt wa and qld. Cwackers view re less than 1% of a community attempting to make it and follow such more local and culturally appropriate pathways is a vote for the unwritten one white parent rule in the AFL. Disgusting stuff.

[Cracker]

As TLPG rightly pointed out, that would undermine the AFL draft. Aboriginal recruits would have to nominate for it and many would not end up playing for the Darwin AFL team, and situations like that of Jurrah would repeat. You have to provide access to the communities every day all day, again as TLPG rightly pointed out. As playing in the AFL is a full time job, creating this balance is literally impossible. The best that can be done is already being done, and you will just have to accept this as fact. You have no choice. There is no unwritten rule and it is an offence to all elite sport to suggest that there is.

What rubbish KE. The AFL takes the recruitment and retaining of Indigenous players very seriously.

...research showing indigenous draftees are more likely to play a senior match than their non-indigenous counterparts

Can you point us to any programs the NRL is undertaking with regards to the recruitment of Indigenous footballers? The NRL appears more focused on the promotion of players from pacific islander heritage taking up and dominating all levels of the game. Sad don't you think?

what kind of a dickhead are you ?
programs >
the NRL doesn't need any programs outside of its normal ones in gathering talent for its code ...it doesn't need tokenistic attempts at being seen to be doing something like the one white parent lovin VFL does

Indigenous kids play in the districts from age 6
the districts best trial for representative honours from age 12
if they're real good they play in an NRL clubs junior " reps system" from age 15
& if they continue to be good developing in this system , 18's & 20's ... they then play NRL
from there
they play state
they play for their country
they play for their people in the All Stars game as well

this .... takes a massive carrot laden turd .... on the what the VFL does for indigenous kids
we also don't care if our indigenous kids have 2 black parents

Beaussie you're way off the point, re read the thread. We are not talking about all indigenous players you silly twat. We are talking about players from remote communities in northern aus who grow up speaking an aboriginal language. Fact is most these mobs love their footy and a small percentage of em have the skills to make the AFL. It's just the AFL is happy sitting on its haunches, because, as cwacker says, they think they're doing enough. Sorry but the numbers of players of these backgrounds who've made it are minuscule. Hence concerns within the AFL of an unwritten one white parent policy.

Now hurry up and install your princess modbitch. She's very eager for the power and can't wait to implement it and reduce the forums to a brain dead sect of monotonous AFL worship admonishing anyone with some character and fight in em. It'll be entertaining like the movie one flew over the cuckoos nest

With the exception of state, country and All Stars, the AFL has a similar progression available. So the AFL and the NRL are on the same level, Raiderdave.

Have a read Beaussie you clueless gimp.
MURRIS V KOORIS .

Wayne Bennett and Laurie Daley joined forces in Newcastle today to promise 16 talented young Indigenous players the most memorable two weeks of their lives when they take centre stage at the 2014 Festival of Indigenous Rugby League.

Daley today announced the lucky 16 of the country's best "non-elite" Indigenous players, who will be joined by four current and/or former NRL players in the First Nations Goannas to take on Bennett's Knights in a trial match at Newcastle's Hunter Stadium on February 8.

Taking the place of the traditional All Stars match in 2014, the trial game will mark the culmination of a week-long celebration that will also feature the NRL Indigenous Players Cultural Camp, community and school visits, a community festival; matches between the NSW and QLD Indigenous women's teams and NSW and QLD U16 boys teams; and the annual Murri v Koori Interstate Challenge.

The First Nations Goannas were chosen from the immensely popular NSW Aboriginal Rugby League Knockout and the QLD Murri Carnival and include Raiders' Holden Cup Team of the Year selection Brenko Lee, who played in both the Koori and National Youth Cup competitions this year.

The team was selected by Preston Campbell and David Peachey, with input from Daley, with eight players coming from NSW and eight from Queensland.

The youngest player selected in the squad is 18-year-old Lee, with 30-year-old Matthew Pittman the oldest. The team will also be joined by four past and/or present NRL players, who have yet to be named.

Daley and Bennett, both staunch supporters of the All Stars concept which will return in 2015, reinforced the decision to "rest" the NRL All Stars v Indigenous All Stars match in 2014 following the World Cup, which Australia won on Sunday.

Daley said: "Significantly, the Festival in Newcastle means the All Stars concept will continue to recognise the relationship and importance of the Indigenous community to the success of Rugby League.

"This event provides a really special opportunity for 16 young men to show their skills against an NRL squad and hopefully open the door to a start in the NRL in the near future."

The week prior to the camp and trial match - January 27-31), Daley's First Nation Goannas will be hosted by Sydney-based NRL clubs, providing them the chance to experience an elite NRL playing environment with access to coaching, nutrition and training advice.

Daley will name the additional four NRL players to join the Goannas in January.

Bennett said: "This trial provides a great opportunity for young Indigenous players to compete against NRL players while also ensuring the momentum of this special celebration is continued.

"It is a privilege for Newcastle to host The Festival of Indigenous Rugby League.

"This game will form an important part of our pre-season as we get ready for season 2014."

First Nations Goannas representative Roy Smith, from the Redfern All Blacks, who attended today's launch at Hunter Stadium, said he was overwhelmed at his selection.

"I am really proud to be part of this team … it's a massive honour," Smith said. "I am really grateful and I am really looking forward to the experience.

"More than anything I am really proud to be playing with the other Indigenous boys and representing my mob.

"For us in Redfern, we all out love our footy. There are a lot of young kids playing junior footy here who look up to us like we are - NRL) First Graders so this will give the youngsters some confidence and something to aspire to."

ARL Indigenous Council Chair, the Hon. Linda Burney MP, said the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community are equally as excited and committed about the Festival in Newcastle as the All Stars event.

"Like All Stars, the Festival is an opportunity to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture through sport and the arts," Miss Burney said.

"It reinforces the Game's commitment to growing Indigenous Rugby League and to showcasing the talent that exists among Indigenous communities.

"At its heart All Stars is a stunning example of how Rugby League can be a vehicle for reconciliation. The Festival can continue that legacy."
