i will get jumped on for this, but would just like to nitpick 'aboriginal'. i think you would say 'indigenous' these days. i am not trying to be clever here. i just remember this was the term used in the 60's when i was a kid, and can sound demeaning:

Okay, but did you really need to bump a 9 year old thread to post this?

For precision:

"Indigenous" covers Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. "aboriginal" refers to the original inhabitants of any land - aboriginal Canadians, for example. "Aboriginal" with the cap is accepted usage for the aboriginal people of mainland Australia and Tasmania. Accepted usage, of course, always rests on shifting sands, and any of these terms or their variants can be demeaning in the Right hands.

It is also always Indigenous with a capital 'i' when referring to the Indigenous people of this land. See that mistake made quite a bit, such as in bush demons post.

Weird feeling to know I've been writing on this forum for about a decade now.

Longer. This version of the forum turns 10 in October this year - as I recall "Vote for Pedro" was also a member on the previous iteration.

This is exactly what I was going to come on and say. However, I think the term indigenous has become the politically correct term in the last decade, but this was posted almost a decade ago, so it's forgivable.

was also wondering if there was a subliminal message with the capital r "Right hand" reference

True, where's Rhino Richards gone? I feel like having an argument about our game plan.

Interesting bump...

Anyway, safe to say the 3 indigenous players at our club are deadset legends. Can't wait to see JKH blossom under Garlett.

since when has andrew walker become an aboriginal?

Since birth is my guess.

Ok - this is a first for me - getting a belly laugh from a post 9 years ago !

I prefer to call them 'You bloody ripper!' like I would all that wear the red and blue.

Of course if they leave then they become 'boo!'

My doc says I have a weird form of colour blindness.

When I opened this thread, this is what I was hoping to see. On that topic, Jetta's transformation has been unbelievable over the past 1-2 years. He's gone from a struggling utility to one of the best small defenders in the game. Garlett has been huge for our forward line this year and JKH will learn plenty from him. Edited by Demon Jack

What??

You know that "indigenous' means the same thing, right..?

as et said it is more about locally accepted usage than a technical dictionary definition

Ignorance aside, they mean the same thing.

That's where my comment earlier comes in. It is all in the capitalisation, eg The Indigenous community is made up of the people who are indigenous to this land. Same word, two meanings.

KOORI

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koori

The Koori (from Awabakal language gurri, as spoken in the area of what is today Newcastle, adopted by indigenous people of other areas[1]) are the indigenous Australians that traditionally occupied modern-day New South Wales and Victoria.

The term is used by the aboriginal people of Victoria, parts of New South Wales and Tasmania, describing the indigenous people's own word for themselves.

So you felt the need to correct something someone said 9 years ago?

Close this thread...

Moral of the story: always check the used-by date.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
