How do indigenous players feel about the all-indigenous (except for the African players) team?

I don't know, but it's hardly a new concept. And why on earth do you think African players would be playing in an Indigenous team? That doesn't make any sense.

I didn't watch it last February, and I won't be watching it next February either.

Let's hope there isn't many Collingwood players participating in this gimmick.

Watching the draft on 7 mate (which is quite funny) so far Pendles, Sidey and Varcoe have been selected, max of 4 from any team.

It gives some insight into who players rate, I would have thought Curnow from carlton would have been picked by now, but no. They're going for running endurance and clean skills it seems.

I'll give it a look when it's on.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

The draft itself was a bit ho hum but listening to the banter and comments from the 4 captains was fun.

That would be a considerable improvement over AFLX. Call it AFLN!

But in all seriousness, can someone piss the marketers off please and tell the powers that be to stop ignorantly trampling over the game.
