The AFL will instead feature the Torres Strait Island flag, the name of the local Indigenous nation and the word "deadly" on fields during Indigenous round. Indigenous sporting legend Nova Peris said trying to cover the absence of the flag with slang term "deadly", relevant only to younger generations, was "ridiculous" and "embarrassing".
Carlton's Indigenous hero Eddie Betts said that the flag stand-off needed to be resolved, with the iconic image made freely available. "I wrote a children's book about Aboriginal culture and I put the Aboriginal flag in there. I didn't know I had to get permission, being an Aboriginal person to teach young kids at school about Aboriginal culture.
It isn't the Aboriginal flag. It is a privately owned design licenced out for profit. Aboriginal people should be attacking the selfish prick who won't give the flag to the people. But, I suppose, an Aboriginal nation is a fictional construct anyway... It never existed. .

Lynch another game another dog shot - built like Tarzan plays like a cowardly dog, the saying might be Jane but the AFLW players show more courage than Lynch has been for weeks.
