From earlier upthread - Indigenous = Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander

I dunno when it became into popular language, but is fair enough as Torres Strait Islanders aren't considered Aboriginal. (Torres Strait Islanders are 'small a' aboriginal by definition, but for another time)

I just think the themed rounds are tacky at best. Call me unAustralian, I'm including ANZAC round in with that too. Yes we have ANZAC Day game(s), nothing wrong with that at all, but I fail to see the relevance in 'celebrating' ANZAC day over the weekend.

And what about this 'Tom Wills round'? If you want to celebrate his contribution to the game, get Channel 10 to dress up some bloke in old gear with fake sideburns..., oh wait they did that didn't they? But seriously, you would think if AFL were to do it properly would somehow re-produce the original fixture list from Round 1 1897 like they did in the centenary year in '96. pffft....

I do however agree with the theme for Round 14. My official AFL fixture says it's 'Split Round'. And this same fixture also tells me Round 1 is Season Launch. Smart bunch.

Here Here! Nicely said! All should be equal. Will never happen though, we will have to keep paying for past mistakes even after all the people that did them are dead and gone!
So how exactly are we paying for past mistakes? I'd bet you wouldn't have a clue and can't answer that question.

Ever heard of ANZAC day, Australia Day? What do they celebrate? White people by any chance?

perhaps we need a White Trash round or something
