Is Curnow listed yet?Interesting to note a few changes in this year's AFL Record Season Guide (in terms of past players):-
Added
Darren Bolton (Frem)
Cyril Mann (Carl)
Removed
Norm Byron (Fitz)
Norm Le Brun (S Melb, Ess, Coll, Carl).
Curnow was previously thought to belong on the list, but it was discovered he didn't. I'm pretty sure his heritage lies in Mauritius.Is Curnow listed yet?
Interesting, I've never seen him listed.Curnow was previously thought to belong on the list, but it was discovered he didn't. I'm pretty sure his heritage lies in Mauritius.
I'm only relying on memory at the moment, and my memory isn't too reliable these days! I'm very sure he was on a list somewhere, I'm sure it was there at the (now defunct) Aboriginal Football website, it also may have been on the one at the AFL site. His name isn't to be found on the list of indigenous players in any of the AFL Record Season Guides. I think it came out that he wasn't aboriginal so his name was removed from any list(s) he was on.Interesting, I've never seen him listed.
Do you have a source for that?
Geelong's wonderful Western Australian full-back Gary Malarkey has recently been named in the Noongar/Nyoongar Team of Champions. I've never seen his name on a list of indigenous players who have played in the VFL/AFL (he's not on the one in AFL Record Season 2017), but it does seem certain that it belongs on such a list:-

As tough as they come, the stories of the day spoke of his wood chop prowess.
As a Melbourne resident I'm always left wondering by the Melbourne media pre occupation with the NT indigenous kids.
AFL Record Season (Guide) 2018 includes Gary Malarkey's name on the list of Every Known Indigenous Player, so obviously the AFL became aware of this "development".Geelong's wonderful Western Australian full-back Gary Malarkey has recently been named in the Noongar/Nyoongar Team of Champions.
