http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/so...ch-modern-afl-must-engage-20120323-1vphu.html''Teenage Aboriginal males are required to participate in solemn initiation ceremonies, called 'law business', which if successfully completed, is the pathway to manhood in Kukatja culture. Teenagers who do not complete law business are considered to be 'boys' rather than men and are thereafter shunned and ridiculed in their community. Traditional punishment, or payback as it is sometimes known, remains an important feature of Kukatja culture. Wrongdoers may be speared in the leg with a hunting spear for an infraction of cultural laws.''
Collins said he didn't know Waylon Manson, ''but I reckon I can predict that Waylon is an initiated Kukatja man who speaks English as his second language … he will probably have not been educated beyond above year 10 level if he is lucky. He is likely to be functionally illiterate and innumerate. He is unlikely to have ever worked in paid employment. He will have to adhere to all of the Kukatja cultural obligations. He is likely to be acutely shy and reserved and will not make eye contact (as is the cultural norm in his community), especially in the presence of non-Aboriginal authority figures.
Just a thought on the somewhat surprising overlooking of Raikawasa. Maybe the club doesn't think that there's much point in having Raikawasa and Blee on the same list at the same time, and they're giving Blee until the end of his contract to prove his worth before making the decision on whether to move him on for Raikawasa?
Even if true, I can't see Raikawasa getting onto our senior list. He'll be a rookie prospect as best unless he has a massive season in 2013.
and on a wing.And showed he could play up forward for the Roosters.
Take out the 'full back of the year' bit and you could say all of that about Raikawasa.
Full back of the year in the WAFL and good backline player in the SANFL aren't too far away from each other. I know a couple of North supporters, they were both whingeing about Port playing Blee in defence because he was playing like crap as a defender at SANFL level.
At the time Blee was drafted Raiki was an undersized U18 full back.
I really need to start double checking player ages. I thought Raikawasa was 21.
Then he's a better future prospect than I thought.
Raikiwasa played all of his 15 league games this year. At the time Blee was drafted Raiki was an undersized U18 full back. You can't compare them at the same point in time. You might say Raikiwasa is getting closer now to where Blee was last year (still not there as REH says), but we drafted Blee last year where he filled a need as a mature age defender.
Hoskin has had a couple of goes at it and broke through, could be Raiki's turn next year.
We have had so many draftees come down with glandular fever as soon as they get here that it must be time to change the agency that supplies the welcome girls.Didn't Blee get glandular fever at the start of the year? Like Jacobs did the year before.
