Australia's greatest Indigenous sports stars

Laurie Daley

Daley was a prominent figure in the 1990s and early 2000s, establishing himself as a legend of the game with almost 250 first grade games for Canberra, and numerous rep honours with NSW and Australia. After his playing days Daley continues to influence the game as a coach of NSW, the Indigenous All Stars and the Country Origin team.

Just to add to my previous post..why isn't "Chicken George" on the list? Didn't he achieve enough?

Whew, just for a moment I thought the Big Fulla missed out too, but he was there and just as well. It ain't a list without Big Artie. I agree with Lumwana Chris tho. No Polly Farmer or Sid Jackson and from league, no John "Chicka" Ferguson and what about the "Black Flash", Larry Corowa? I think they tried too hard to get as many sports on the list instead of aiming for the best sports people.

Totally agree with Lumwana Chris! Prolly Farmer changed the game of AFL. To not have him in there is a travesty! BTW Cyril Rioli would be a good inclusion.
