Mad Luke Lavender.Bushranger?
While I understand your post being a technical selection one with no bad intent, just a heads up that to a lot of Aboriginal people, saying someone is a quarter or half Aboriginal etc can be offensive. To a lot if they identify as Aboriginal then they are Aboriginal, not percentages of.
Who knows? They might be proud of that aspect of their ancestry. I know I probably would be if I had indigenous heritage. It's a pretty amazing culture and for it to have survived for 60,000 or so years is cool.Why would anyone identify with such a small portion ( < 1/64) of their ancestry? I think that when a person is raised in a particular culture they will probably identify as being of that culture, regardless of whether they share much ancestry with other members of that culture. But if someone was not raised in a strongly aboriginal culture, and they were 1/64 aboriginal (like myself), then identifying as aboriginal would only make sense if they also identify with all the other portions of their ancestry. If they identify with all portions, then that doesn't fit with the common understanding of identity.
This is probably the wrong forum to discuss such issues, but these issues should be open to respectful discussion, and not shut down because it might offend someone. In my experience, aboriginals and part aboriginals are not offended by genuinely discussing concepts of race and identification, and non-aboriginals can be overly cautious in avoiding offence.

Naturally, I'm fairly disappointed in you here eth-dog.They take up to 1/64th Aboriginal. (My former club cricket captain participated as 1/64th )
It’s not how it works though is it? It’s about identity and clan membership. I know for sure my family claims heritage of probably a 1/32nd or so, mostly because that is where the surname comes from. I’m 1/2 something else but no one ever talks about Mum’s side. Even Mum claims Dad’s heritage by marriage hahaha.1/64th seems a long bow to draw if there is no other blood from that same race anywhere along the line.
That means you are talking about your 'great great great great Grandparent'
If you go back that far it is more likely he should be claiming himself as Italian, Greek or German.
Isn't the moon much closer than the starsAnd looking to model his game off Daniher... that athletic type I guess he means.
Aim for the moon, and even if you miss you'll land among the stars.
I think it was a dig at Joe's set shots. Unfair IMO as he seemed to have stopped trying to kick the cover off of it and was greatly improved at the back end of the year.Isn't the moon much closer than the stars

http://www.essendonfc.com.au/news/2018-01-19/injury-update-19-januaryNew recruit, Luke Lavender, had surgery to his shoulder prior to coming to the Club and is progressing well.
“Obviously as a first year he has a modified program anyway. We are getting a lot of those athletic development work into Luke in the meantime,” Crow said.
“It has been five months since his surgery, so it’s looking very good and he is doing very much a first year players program.”
WIll be interesting to see how he develops.
Last basketballer we had was Jenkins right and we gave up on him too early. (I realise we had ryder/Bellchambers back then on the way up)

My mustake. Thought Luke came from basketball but that is wrong.Basketballer?

He was a cricketer who I think might have played under 16 rep footy. I think this is how we knew about him.
He's not a complete novice when it comes to footy.
