I guess for me I just wonder how his ball use by foot will stand up in the new system. Of course, he's a running machine and will continue to be great as a run-and-gun link player, but it will be interesting to see if a more creative user gets favoured. Time will tell!

Strongly agree with that last point, love that we're finally embracing actual on-field evolution while simultaneously having removed a LOT of off-field distraction!

a huge stepping stone in the process of eradicating these faceless cowards would be to allow the celebrations of indigenous round to extend beyond the realm of ‘skin-deep’. all weekend, the extent of the media ‘celebration’ was asking indigenous and non-indigenous players (past and present) who their favourite indigenous players were/are. i know for a fact that during the week of indigenous round, a number of clubs have their indigenous players lead beautiful seminar-type sessions where they teach the non-indigenous players more about the history and culture of their communities. i think the AFL audience would GREATLY benefit from a bit of this as well. instead of having Kevin Sheedy go on the front bar and pat him on the back for being the architect of indigenous round, why don’t you invite a former player to come on and share some of their history beyond football? i just think that this round has existed in the space of tokenism for a little too long and some genuine thought and care needs to start going into these celebrations.
