Could you cite some references ? I’d love to know how you came up with the 89 percent ?

Great source!!!! Telling us what we already know. Fumbling is the least diverse football code in the country.

A good report indeed but they a knowledge themselves that surnames is not a great way to measure someone’s ethnic origins . And also acknowledge not good representing indigenous Australians ... which impacts nrl and afl. It also noted a higher percentage of indigenous players playing afl as compared to nrl and the percentage of indigenous players playing afl was greater than that of indigenous representation in general. I think the other thing they point to is the high percentage of pacific island nations that play league and union who are over represented NRL and as a previous researcher you would account for this as an outlier as it skews the results ... there are various analysis tools that do this.

Anyone else notice something recently ...... what has dissipated and what has increased ?

Funny how AFL calls itself Australia's indigenous game, yet it has the highest number of white players and it does not have a team that is known to be supported by Aboriginals in large numbers.

There is no team like Rabbitohs in the AFL. I am sure Adam Goodes would never have gone through what he did if he had been a league player. He would have been very welcome in a team like Souths.

Great point. Not only is there no club like Souths, its afl equivalent Collingwood is renown for its negativity towards Indigenous players. Club president Eddie racially abused Goodes live on radio, first Indigenous player wasn't until the 90's & most recently a black player quit club citing discrimination.
