JWH out of All-Stars

You look at the forward packs and think how does the Indigenous side get any where near the All Stars.

Agreed, they got nothing, but the same has been said about nsw/qld and the toads alwayd get us.

That makes two of us.
Risk of injury for any of our players just doesn't cut it imo. Money making racket, that's all it is.

For who? This game promotes and raises money for indigenous charities.

Great Avatar pic of Freddy Rooboy. Don't worry about JWh mate, he will be ripe after the NZ snub.

cheers mate, with all the recent excitment i decided to go hunting for some pics and stumbled on this one. found some other good ones but there too big to put on the signature. The best one i reckon is of the legend himself after Villa the gorilla head butted him in the gf, all taped up and blood down his face. LEGEND is Freddy!!!!!!!!

I just dislike all rep games at critical times...all at the expense of the club/s if the player/s get injured.
Who has to pay the players when they are injured? Who suffers because of it? The Club.

The promoters use "Charity" to justify their greed.
Does anyone have factual figures on what total money passes through the gates etc & what actually finds the charity mark?
Like a lot of the these things SFA ever finds its target.
No problem with the money going to a good cause (as long as it gets there).....

Truer words have never been spoken. They can fill up those teams with souffs players for all I care. Just so long as our players are safe from injury. Knowing the big fella, he would have been disappointed to miss out.

With regards to the funds, most charities income goes to setting up the charity and creating awareness whatever that means. I have been involved with some charity work in the past, and I can tell you that some of the largest charities in Australia spend over 50% of their income just on foundation costs, setting up the charity, business expenses etc. The people the money is meant to help would be lucky to be getting around 40% of the proceeds, if that.

With regards to the Aboriginal community, I would be more in favor of setting up an actual lists of education programs or projects where the kids/Adults are educated into sports or tafe courses. I had the privilege of volunteering to work in some indigenous communities in Bowraville when I was in school and we'd set up holiday camps for the children. Something like 90% of the adults in the community have been in and out of Prison(and that's not an exaggeration), due to violence, alchohol related incidents, drug abuse and trading and rape. Handouts will not help the cause IMHO.
