I think one of the greatest things about our game is that it's inclusive of all cultures. Therefore, I'd like to start a thread where we discuss the multicultural aspects of our football club and the most obvious way it manifests itself is through our players and I feel this information can help the fans grow a closer bond to our players. Here's what I could find so far:
AFL list
Jy Farrar - Indigenous
Brayden Fiorini - Italian descent
Pearce Hanley - Born in England, Welsh mother, Irish father
Jarrod Harbrow - Indigenous
Jack Hombsch - German descent
Jack Lukosius - Lithuanian descent
Sean Lemmens - Indigenous
Touk Miller - African-American father
Izak Rankine - Indigenous
Malcolm Rosas Jr - Indigenous
Josh Schoenfeld - German descent
David Swallow - Dutch mother, English father
Luke Towey - born in Ireland
Probably also worth mentioning highly talented academy prospects Alex Davis is of Japanese descent and Austin Harris is of Vietnamese descent.
AFLW list
Lauren Bella - Italian descent
Dee Heslop - Born in New Zealand
Jade Pregelj - Slovenian descent
Tayla Thorn - Indigenous
Kitara Whap-Farrar - Indigenous
Do you guys know of any of our other players who have a multicultural background?
