This article, written by Tom Richardson, was published on Thursday in the independent Adelaide newspaper ‘IN Daily’. It was brought to our attention by Mick Pullen, who describes it as “one of the best Aboriginal sport/culture related stories I have read… ever”. It focuses on the capacity for football to be a central issue in Aboriginal culture whilst still to traditional Aboriginal customs of life and death.

This is a long piece, but well worth the read.
Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
