Australia's greatest Indigenous sports stars

Adam Goodes

Goodes is probably one of the greatest sporting role models for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. A genuine 'good guy' on and off the field Goodes is also the ultimate athlete. At 32 he has shown no signs of slowing down and may even add to his two Premiership medals, two Brownlow Medals, and four All-Australian nods. Watch this space.

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.
