Southerner great effort mate, unfortunately not sure Ken Martin and Phil Cronan are Aboriginal?
Toby McGrath, Tim Kelly , Keren Ugle , Marlion Pickett , Steven Jackson,would be worthy of mention.
Fair side.
Ahhhhh cheers brother - Keren bloody Ugle that was the one I’d been stumped with for hours today & I knew it something to do with a dozen (the bloody number 12!)

Hers my list of South Fremantle players, which includes every player since 1975 and any one who kicked a goal from 1929 on… Maybe some names here can jog your memories of indigenous players that have worn the red and white.

..and Sammy Sadleir…now there’s a name from the past. played footy with him in Dampier…a top bloke and could have been anything at WAFL level if he had of applied himself.
you’ve done a really good job coming up with that side Southerner…well done.

Sam Sadlier sheesh theres a blast from the past I remember him in a Reserves game vs SD at Fremantle Oval in about 82/83 absolutely tearing it up and was surprised he didnt go on with his career might have taken over the number 6 guernsey from Tony Morley when he retired before eventually Warren Mosconi.
Darryl Stokes was another talent.
Cadji Dunn with the big bushy beard kicked a poultice of goals in Darwin.
Hey Southy & Dwert Cyril Rioli Snr was a good little player for SF for a couple of years in the mid 80s.
Derek Woods looked a good talent came to SF around the same time as Russell Williams.
Sam Sadlier was originally from Claremont but transferred to South simply because of big bad Malcolm Brown
And another guy who had an impact in a short stint was Graham Kickett (ex-EF)
I was going to question Phil Cronin as well.
Phil Cronan , certainly not aboriginal.Went to the horses mouth.
Good read and relevant to this topic http://www.smh.com.au/interactive/2016/the-noongar-warriors/
Anyone see the footage online of the likes of Rioli, Michael, Vigona, Winmar, Campbell, Roe, Collard from SF & the Krakouer Brothers, Mitchell & the Kicketts from CL from the early 80s floating around today?
Definitely worth a look.
Can I ask where you saw that footage - or where I can find it 'Beas mate ?
Stuff’s worth it’s weight in gold I say
Probably find a lot of footage like that on Youtube.
dwert it is a good read.
Another name I don’t think mentioned here is Russell Williams.He played for Souths then went to Essendon.
He came to Souths along with another young fella called Woods.Not sure of his first name.But a fella from his area told me he would be the next best thing to happen as Souths since Stephen Michael.He was very disappointing.Just didn’t want to be there.I asked Brownie one day why he played Williams over Wood, he replied because I want to see Woods get angry and want to play at the elite level.Unfortunately he never did.
Derek Woods - Tambellup lad very talented player.
Look on Page 3 of this topic in my updated list and you will find Russell Williams
I also did make mention of Derek Woods on page 3 Anchor!
Ok sorry fellas. Missed them.
