Cochise kicked a few goals from a half forward flank for Richmond in the early sixties.

Someone mentioned Daniel Kerr. I think they are right in that he is of, or part, Indian descent.

People from that nation only seem to play cricket or hockey, not body contact sports.

There are many Indians in Australia & have been for generations. It’s a wonder some haven’t taken up the game at some level.

People with UK, Dutch, Irish, Croation, Serb, Lebanese, Greek, Italian readily adapt to our game. We’ve even had an American playing AFL. Also Chinese in WA. I’m sure there are other nations as well.

Quite surprising really that Indians are so little involved with Aussie Rules. I don’t even think they attend the game as spectators.

Some appear happy to criticise Australia, non stop, but appear reluctant to co-exist in harmony.
