you are perhaps the dumbest clown of the bunch cwacker. a simpleton with no vision is what you have shown yourself in the above post. narrow minded, shallow, pathetic argument. you have so little to offer dont you? so very littleCracker wrote:And I picked it early on that you are extremely rude when you don't get your own way.King-Eliagh wrote:Cracker wrote:The opportunity exists now just for clarity. Every AFL club would like all the talent to play. But they know (unlike King Eliagh) that this is impossible without having an adverse effect on the communities. That is, if I understand what you are suggesting Xman, the logistics don't add up. But according to King Eliagh (in effect) they do and should be exploited to the maximum. I oppose this, and so would the communities if they knew about this proposal of King Eliagh's.
Seriously, have a re read of this stink will ya cracker. You should be ashamed at your lack of intelligence.
I'll ask now, how many players come from the remote communities? The Rioli's? They're from the tiwis but played the majority of their junior footy for stmarys in Darwin. Darwin aint remote.
You know shmack all about what the communities want cwacker, and its a bloody disgrace to hear you talking on their behalf the way you do.
What is required is equal access and that, as with health care, education, basic fruit and vegetables etc etc etc isn't there for those who grow up in remote communities in the NT. Developing pathways would be fantastic and would obviously need to be done with proper consultation and inclusion of local community members, rather than going off what some know it all dingbat like cracker says. My inkling? More remote nt Communities would love more engagement with the AFL and in developing footy programs and pathways. They love their footy, this is quite clear.
I think this answers your questions swines. Proper consultation would require significant work and include the employment of translators and local community leaderss. Additionally the AFL, if they were serious about this should really spend the money on creating a team in Darwin, where a multitude of Aboriginal families live, including many from as far as central desert regions and further. This would 1. Lessen the impact of culture shock for young up and coming footy players (Darwin is way diff to Melbourne last time I looked cwacker ya fool) and 2. In many cases provide important family connections and additional support for many potential Aboriginal AFL players from remote areas of the nt.
Now Xman, common mate, fairs fair, its time to implement the new rule. I mean if you don't then you're kinda suggesting cwackers claim is valid and accurate. I mean...does he think women, children, elderly, unhealthy, unsporty, poor marngrookers and the disabled are gunna be up for selection?
What a crock this cwacker is turning out to be. I'm proud I picked it from the start!:>::
You wish to know why the number of Aborigines in remote communities that make it to the AFL is so low? I can answer this for you. They don't want to because they refuse to abandon their community. This is what they would have to do if they were to play in the AFL. This is what you expect them to do. This is despicable. Even if a side was based in Darwin, they would still have to travel to away games and train full time.
And let's just clarify the definition of "all" shall we? Anyone who has an ounce of common sense knows that I am referring only to those who are recruitable in the first place and not the entire community as a whole.
Let's break this down once and for all. The pathways that exist are at the maximum without affecting the constitution (I mean the make up and nothing else) of any given community. Around Alice Springs they have the chance to play there. You mentioned Darwin and the same applies. Your behaviour clearly insinuates that you want all the eligible Aborigines to have a crack at the AFL without exception. It's not going to happen because they don't want it. They are far happier staying in their region and this should be respected.
my arguments in my earlier posts trounce the trashy baseless excuse of an argument you've posted above. a team in darwin would without doubt provide a better alternative, without doubt. in case you didnt know the Aboriginal population in the nt and other areas of aus are extremely mobile. There is significant movement occurring at all times in comparison to the non-Aboriginal population and many community members are by no means isolated to, as you suggest, "their region". They generally have a large family structure and many places they can call home. so again darwin would be a better alternative, it wouldnt be perfect but itd be better.
and just for the record, i believe other institutions also need to increase their reach to allow access for those from the more remote regions, and particularly for those who speak the original languages of this country, who have the added barrier of speaking english as a second third and often 4th language. not just AFL as cracker so dumbly suggests in his waste of a comment that i believe all eligible Aboriginals should have a crack at the AFL. what a dumb git you are cracker. and you deserve to be called out as such. i believe other institutions such as education and health also need to work harder to ensure culturally appropriate and reflective education and healthcare is available and accessible, rather than simply expect those from another culture living in remote areas to tow the line and "pick up their game", or even worse, as cracker so ignorantly argues by suggesting that all Aboriginal people and communities are content living isolated on their region/country happy living on or below the poverty line and wouldnt want to see more culturally appropriate recruitment programs, nor an AFL team in Darwin developed or anything else for that matter.
What a disgusting excuse of an Australian you are cracker
Can you read cracker?
