because in 10 years thats what they will be

So our aboriginal players will be playing against our other players?

Yep, well the ones that get selected anyway. Imagine Davey runs 20m handballs to Davey runs 20m handballs to Lovett runs 20m... goal.

They wont bloody televise it but I'd love to see it...

if only fox footy was still around

will fox sports have anychance? highly doubtful?

I remember a two years back seeing the Bulldogs play the Northern Territory state team on, i think, ABC?

You never know.

Patty Ryder ????????????

Pretty stupid that our abbo players are playing against us. Its Essendon vs indigenous all stars, not whites vs blacks.

Just stupid.

watch ya wording there rosso

Why? Abbo is short for aboriginal.

If I called it "coon" or some other remark like that, then that would be wrong.

Rosso, I totally agree and had this same argument with my teacher in high school but sadly abbo is viewed as a derogatory statement... christ knows why, it's no worse than calling Anglo saxons 'anglos'???

It's about how the term is received, not how it's expressed.

You could say it and mean it in the most non judgemental, well meaning way, but if the term is received as derogatory then it's derogatory to the person hearing it.

im just saying to be carefull.. i had plenty of experiences with that word.

Looks like only 3 bombers make the team.

Ryder
NLM
Lovett

Good. Even though they should be playing for us, its good that most will be getting used to playing with the more senior players.

F111, true, anything can be offensive if said the right way.

Will be televised on ABC2 (foxtel channel)

See their guide closer to the date for more info.

Would our players take the chance to hit any of our three?

Or will they give them extra protecton?

I suppose its no worse than intra club, but you'd have to say an ankle injury to one of the 3 guys from a tough tackle, etc..
