Since the AFL has introduced development officers to promote the game to African and Asian communities. I decided to start whacking together a little team of kids that have played TAC cup. Some of the names included only have 1 parent from either Asian or African descent, can anyone help fill in the gaps for me. Bare in mind that the slave trade took others like Josh Gibsons descendants through other countries.

there was a Thai player who played a couple of games for the Crows. His name might've been Sudjai Cook?

Sorry, it's just a distant recollection

what about Balraj Singh, who played at the Crows for a short time? He is of Indian descent. Did he play TAC cup?

Rowan Nayna played for Dandenong before being rookie listed by the Dogs (was delisted last year). I'm pretty sure he's got a Mauritian background.

Murray Silver, Prasan Thangavavidel and Renwick Watts would probably all make a best 22.
