PUNT ROAD END | Richmond Tigers Forum

Was looking to gain some poster's opinions on the role that football has played in general indigenous issues since they began actively following the game. With the announcement of the new Indigenous Centre at Punt Road, Richmond are actively taking on a leadership role in attempting to use football to provide social and economic opportunities for Indigenous youth. With this in mind I would be interested to hear some poster's opinions on the following:

1. Do you believe the AFL has implemented enough programs to ensure indigenous players are welcomed and assimilated into the league?
2. Can football play a role in moving beyong simply a sport into a more communal welfare role?

And finally on a lighter side, who are your favourite indigneous players to have seen play for Richmond or any other club you like? Are there any special moments in particular you remember involving indigenous players? I would be really interested to hear any responses you might have.
