Yep. Dean Rioli used to blame the turtle for coming back fat every year at Essendrugs n getting on the turps was a standard comment for anyone planning or having a big session when I was young n foolish.Apologies if you took any offence.
I have lived in the NT & Pilbara for 24 of my adult years and employed probably 50 or 60 indigenous apprentices & tradespeople.
Would I be comfortable saying it them , yes, our indigenous players, if I knew them , yes
Its called a sense of humour
