Looks fair to me. I guess if you did the next ten they would also be pretty good.

 

[THRILLHO]

Can't believe he forgot [insert whoever you care about].

Surely this is the most superfluous list of all time?

Isn't this reverse racism against Anglo-Saxons when an Anglo-Celtic is included.

Something like 40% of Australians (including me) can trace their ancestory to Ireland - so it seems a big silly to include Big Jim in "multi-cultural" round.

But then again "multi-cultural" round itself, is a silly, embarassing, preening, hectoring, posturing nonsense, so que sera, sera (see how "multi-cultural" I was, writing in French?)

No Spiro Kourkoumelis. No Jose Romero. Sedat Sir. Sandford Wheeler. Tough to fit them all in I suppose.

Stephen Silvagni is about as Italian as Holden. Didn't his dad play for Carlton before he was even born.

Seriously, this is more a list of "Best players with Foreign sounding names". Such a list should be confined to players actually born in another country to have any sort of meaning.

The guidelines used are "at least 1 parent born overseas"

Pretty sure Riccuito's parents were born in Australia.

Difference is he was born there. I mean none of the players on that list are there because their great great great great great grandfather moved here during the gold rush or whatever.

I thought Kerr was half Sri Lankan.

 

[Roo182]

I didn't know Kouta had Italian heritage as well. Good mix!

 

[Farang83150]

Oh god here we go again, some numpty saying Kerrs half Indian...

 

[Pevers-Legend]

I'm waiting for Religion Round, Ginger Round, WAG Round, Political Party Affiliation Round, Political Correctness Round.....

 

[Roo182]

Prosthetic Limb User's Round.

 

[bluemarq]

Sports Organisation's Inappropriate Intrusion Into Areas of Social Policy Round

 

[Pevers-Legend]

conjoined twin myslexia round

 

[Roo182]

Economic Autocorrelation in Share Market Regressions Round.

 

[tribey]

Barry Round

 

[The Dustbin]

No Houli?

 

[Paul Kersey]

No Houli?

Yeah, Vlad won't be happy that the token Muslim isn't included in this list.

 

[Paul Kersey]

In celebration of Montagna's list, let's hope the AFL gives Spotless the arse for the week and allows us to enjoy multicultural cuisine like what Nick Riewoldt grew up on - hefeweizen, pretzels, hefeweizen, bratwurst w/sour kraut and hefeweizen this Friday night in the outer. Start making moves like that and I'm all for multicultural round.

 

[BrewSmackerVeiny]

No Houli?

Hehe, don't believe ive seen a current player in any of these 'best of' lists. Despite that Houli is probably pretty upset at being made a scapegoat by being left out of Leigh Montagna's top ten.

Houli will bring this up in the 2014 multicultural round.
