The league, clubs and players’ union need to be more consolidated on why the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men’s players has dropped.

Utterly unsurprising. The AFL arrogantly ignored Tasmanian Aboriginal people in its push for an unwanted and unaffordable stadium in Hobart. @afl has no interest in heritage. Just after gaming and broadcast revenue. #nonewstadium
