Mary Fowler is not indigenous. She is Papua New Guinean Irish. Not joking

yeah , her brother has played for Ireland youth and she was considering it

(or their family was, there was a fair bit of family politics going on at the time of the Stajic uproar IIRC)

Quivi's interesting, given the game away for some reason

No no i haven't the poster tries in a clumsy race baiting manner to insinuate that Australians would not be interested in seeing black/browns playing for Australian teams.....and i would  say Aussies love a winner and for the most part could not give a damn if it's an Indian/Aussie lesbian like Sam Kerr or an indigenous heterosexual like Mary Fowler or any ánglo type.

(1) Bandwagon Aussies don’t care about “”biggest game in the world”, they see a ranking of 40th as failure.

(2) They want to see trophies lifted and medals won, they want to see winners and people can sense potential winners, or at least someone to cheer a very long way in the Matildas.

(1) They fvcken well ought to, but dare I say that's a whole separate discussion.

(2) Not ever gonna happen by playing/coaching anything remotely aesthetically-similar to the b0g@n fightball-codes, IMHO. This is much more relevant to the mens' game than the womens', but eventually at the latter they'll have to adapt to that also eventually.

I read the initial question but not much in between, so sorry for being out of step with the conversation. 

My thoughts - no. Aussies love winners, regardless of how many people they beat, (and the Matildas certainly beat a fair few).

The cricket team have long been the most popular team because they win all the time, even though there are only 10 test nations and 2-3 legitimate competitors to their dominance. When the Wallabies were winning they were hugely popular, even though about 14 countries took the game seriously and there were about 4 that stood a chance of beating us. You can see it now with the attempt to carve out a distinct identity for the Olympic swimming team. Even in 2006, it didn’t matter what the players names were, Aussies jumped on the bandwagon of Socceroo success.

Bandwagon Aussies don’t care about “”biggest game in the world”, they see a ranking of 40th as failure. They want to see trophies lifted and medals won, they want to see winners and people can sense potential winners, or at least someone to cheer a very long way in the Matildas.

Black/brown was never mentioned. I thought the thread referred to the dominance of Anglo surnames and the lack of Italian, Greek, Yugo names etc in the Matildas.

That was my understanding.

Ok then tell me why race should come into who plays for whatever team? are you saying the better black/brown people are being kept out because of the white Australia policy? maybe just maybe the best players happen to be white middle class Aussies and there is no agenda at all cept for the ugly one lurking in your head.

No probs, and I still agree with you Aussies love minorities when they can win them a sporting match.

I didn't suggest anything, just asked a question that judging by many of the responses is completely legitimate and valid. 

You say Aussies love a winner, that's a nice observation and I agree that Aussies love Aboriginals who can win them an Aussie rules or NRL match, for example. 

You also failed to address the second part of my question about a lack of cultural diversity representative of Australian football community.

You know what I don't get Racist people.

How do these people live without listening to rap or watching a Denzel movie bet they never seen Seinfeld. 

Like what's the point of hating other cultures if you can't go to mad Mex and eat a burrito.

Matildas beat state of origin
https://www.couriermail.com.au/subscribe/news/1/?sourceCode=CMWEB_WRE170_a_FBK&dest=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.couriermail.com.au%2Fsport%2Fnrl%2Fstate-of-origin%2Fstate-of-origin-confidential-star-channel-9-presenter-emma-lawrence-reveals-baby-news%2Fnews-story%2F8b6e790f2e5da579fe097b700887ffdf&memtype=anonymous&mode=premium&v21=GROUPB-Segment-1-NOSCORE

that's insane. If it was just sheila's wogs and p**ftas then that would explain matildas being more popular than the socceroos, but it wouldn't explain the matildas being more popular than state of origin

I think Australia would love to be a football nation, we just have trouble supporting a sport we aren't doing well in. Now we are doing well in women's football it is taking over. Participation rates are always said to be good, but they can easily grow four fold and then no one can ignore football
