In the lead-up to the annual Sir Doug Nicholls Round - which celebrates the culture of Indigenous Australians and their contribution to football - it seemed fitting to look back on some of the stars that have graced the football field.
With the archives deep and long, a limitation on just the AFL era still rendered the task of determining just who the top 10 Indigenous players would be, near impossible.
These 10 are superstars in their own right, but some may count themselves unfortunate not to be mentioned...
8Eddie Betts
Arguably the most creative goal-kicker the code has ever seen.
Betts literally had a pocket of a football ground named after him due to the amount of freakish goals he scored at the Adelaide Oval.
The former Blue and Crow kicked 640 goals - four of which were named Goal of the Year - in 350 games at the top level.
He earned three All-Australian blazers and led the club goal-kicking on six occasions across 17 seasons.
Betts was the perfect exponent of crumbing a key forward, but applied immense front-half pressure when needed, before bobbing up to nail an eyebrow-raising goal.
