Could be worse...Danny Frawley could be his uncle.

Also didn't ask him about his "family day comment"...along the lines when asked about his famous cousin Ratts asked what he thought was the difference between them aand Jeff answered "I'm better than he is" (or words to that effect)

Gotta love someone who will just go for it! :clap:

It's called skin groupings and is a traditional way that Aboriginal culture prevented in-breeding. Basically there are four skin groups and everyone in a skin group is related which is why there are so many cousins, uncles and aunties. Traditionally the skin group is a more powerful bond than the blood family. Childrens grandparents are the same skin group (boys and girls are different) but their parents are different skin groups and in many tribes Grandparents more responsible for bringing up children than the parents are. Also within each skin group "whats mine is yours" applies so in communities many people share houses and vehicles and money amongst their skin groups. It's a bit complicated but I have a diagram somewhere that I'll try to dig up.

In a nutshell anyway!!

Interesting topic that one. Do the skin groups get along? I wonder what groups our boys belong too?

Good read.

Anyone know if the Brendan Parker he mentions is the same Brendan Parker that was on our list in the early 90s?

I'd be more concerned about Brian Taylor in this instance

There is a term used for relationships where certain people have to avoid one another ("poisin cousins" - no thats not a pun on the new Tigers recruit, but a term used to describe relatives that are not allowed to even talk to one another). Similar arrangements apply to men not communicating with their mother in law. Now that could catch on in the wider community! My understanding is that these cultural mores are aimed at avoiding certain types of relationships. Each language group has a set of skin groups with names like Janima, Jungeri (Gurinji names). Each person gets their skin group from one of the parents (I forget which one). The names are different accross language groups but each language group knows how the other groups skin groups equate to theirs so that people are not allowed to marry a member of the wrong skin group.

It could get complicated if teammates were not allowed to communicate due to cultural reasons, but is unlikely as I think most poison relationships involve different sexes. I have seen young men communicate with their mother in law -where there was an urgent situation that required communication - by addressing and speaking to an inanimate object, such as a chair, telling the chair if they would please tell mother in law that bher haouse was on fire.

I guess if you have that type of problem on a footy field you could tell the goal post to tell your cousin to kick the ball to you.

He'll probably find this thread himself if he visits TC and just lowers his eyes while browsing the forums.

Its a different Brendan Parker. The Swan Districts Parker has been there a few years now and I thought our Parker was still playing, up until 2007 at least, in Tongala.

I didn't know that when I did the interview.

Who's this Garlett fellow? I know we have a Gartlett on the rookie list.
