Ireland v Australia, International Rules Game 1, 2013

[BB67th]

This sport has so much potential. I actually like watching it because it so unique, but when we don't play the good players, people don't care about it. Last tour we saw no one good go over and we got smashed. This time we are playing an All-Indigenous side and I expect us to be smashed again.

To give the code any relevance and credibility at all, it needs to have the big names playing every series. More than half the All-Australian side really should be in it.

As people have said, it has nothing to do with them putting only indigenous people in, it's the fact that it's given no credibility with the players they've sent over there.

So you're saying the black players aren't as good as the white?

[Ziplock]

our indigenous players represent 10% of the AFL population... so statistically speaking, there wouldn't be as many good ones as non- indigenous.

Haha but realistically that's how it came out. There are more white people in US, but the black population excel in basketball?

[Ziplock]

you're saying that african americans and indigenous australians should have the same athletic ability, purely based on a similar skin colour? :P

[Vinny]

Haha I got nothing against the all indigenous team but a few big "non-indigenous stars" would be good. Pretty much a mixed team. :)

No, I'm saying even though they take up 10% of Aus. They still have the equal ability as every other play in the league.
