True. Collingwood were concerned about Carlton becoming a stronger club and greatly preferred to keep a weak Swans team in the competition.That was 1992. Funny how things change over time.
Since then, Swans have been in 6 Grand Finals, Carlton 3. We've won 2 Premierships, Carlton's won 1. And our membership is now 60,000 plus, around 10,000 more than Carlton's!
The 2016 Premiers losing again!
Unfortunately, it's Hawthorn making them look ordinary.
I'm sure you meant this quite innocently, but there's no compelling reason that all indigenous people should be packaged together into a single personality. like some sort of fungible commodity. People of all cultures and races vary in how involved they choose to be in social and political matters. Above all, Cyril Rioli is an individual human being with every right to abstain from involvement in wider indigenous issues. He seems a shy person and I wouldn't expect him to throw himself into a public debate of any sort.
