Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Lewis Young
McGovern is still on the list at the moment. O'Farrell will be out for a lot of next year. There certainly is a role to be filled early next year at CHB. Or forward. There appears to be an opportunity, or two, for Lewis Young next year. Will he step up to it?

Well, what's happened? Curnow has left, and we don't really have a second KPD (readymade, Dean is at least a year and a half away most likely) yet. And still some questions remain with this guy next year.

Make or break next season. Charlie leaving might help his cause.
He was largely a forward as a junior, has played back and ruck at AFL level. He mixes good with bad.
He certainly played forward at times this year and looked alright. He's contracted until next year but then again, so was Liam Jones once upon a time.

Dizzy Gillespie was the first indigenous player wasn't he? Scott Boland has been another. There must be a batsman somewhere surely?
Darcy Short played a few t20s for Australia didn't he ?
                                                                                
 He also played a few ODIs as well. It's been a sadly rare thing for indigenous guys to represent our national cricket team.

There were a few first class cricketers but Dizzy was the first test cricketer.

I think Dan Christian played for Australia but he didn’t play any tests.
                                                                              
  Yes, my point was relating to indigenous cricketers who played for Australia only. However, you are correct about Christian playing cricket for Australia but not Test matches. It didn't seem he really was in the frame for a Baggy Green either, despite a good FC record. He just didn't have the FC record needed to play test match cricket for Australia.

It seems like he would have been a very handy ODI player if he was around a decade later when it was in its early days and the tempo of it was much slower. 83 years is a good long life. RIP Mr. Ian Redpath.
