Aboriginal All-Stars
Encyclopedia
The Indigenous All-Stars (known as for sponsorship reasons Qantas Kickstart Indigenous All-Stars and formerly known as the Aboriginal All-Stars) are an Australian rules football
team composed purely of Indigenous Australians
.
The team was formed in 1983 to compete in an exhibition match in Mildura but has since become based in Darwin, Northern Territory
and currently plays its matches at Marrara Stadium.
The team was formerly selected from the best available players from several leagues around Australia
, however since the AFL has taken the team under its wing it has gradually moved away from this practice and since 2007 no player from outside the Australian Football League
competition has been selected in the squad. The AFL promotes the concept as recognition of the indigenous Australians contribution to the national competition, with approximately one in ten AFL players identifying as an Indigenous Australian. The AFL has been criticised for letting its clubs restrict top senior players from participating the 2007 and 2009 matches and being used like the Australian Football League pre-season competition
as a (pre-season) practice match for developing players. Despite this the team remains competitive and the match remains popular with fans and spectators.
Matches against other clubs are assigned individual trophies however the best on ground for the Indigenous All-Stars is awarded the Polly Farmer Medal which is in honour of Graham Farmer
.
The highly successful team has competed in pre-season AFL matches and is primarily based out of Darwin
in the Northern Territory
.
The All-Stars have been defeated only once when Essendon Football Club
won against them in February 2007.
The team has included champion players as Adam Goodes
, Daryl White, Andrew McLeod
, Byron Pickett
, Michael O'Laughlin, Chris Johnson
, Jeff Farmer
, David Wirrpanda
, Aaron Davey
and Shaun Burgoyne
. The team was coached by Michael "Magic" McLean
on more than one occasion and Chris Johnson made his coaching debut in 2009.
Games featuring the All-Stars in Darwin have always attracted a large amount of interest and crowds.
In 2003, a record crowd of 17,500 attended a pre-season game in which the All-Stars defeated the Carlton Football Club
at
Marrara Oval
.
Significant controversy in 2007 surrounded the Sydney Swans
resistance to allowing Adam Goodes
and Michael O'Loughlin
to play in the match against Essendon. In the end, they were released by the club, but allowed a very small amount of game time only.
, who had naming rights over the team. After the abolition of ATSIC, the team was renamed from Aboriginal All-Stars to Indigenous All-Stars. Since 2006 the team has been sponsored by Qantas
through the AFL Kickstart indigenous program.
