Good stuff putting this together Bomba. Sorry about crossing Iggy off the list for you. He should be close to qualifying as his wife and kids have indigenous heritage via their maternal grandmother who has lived in Darwin for 40 years but hails from Broome originally.
Another person you might consider is a guy called Bob Jones. He played in the ruck for Buffaloes in Darwin and is the father of Liam (from Western Bulldogs). I don't know Bob personally but Darwin footy supporters believe that he played seconds footy at Carlton and he has mentioned it in radio interviews. I have searched Blueseum but no luck. Hope you do better than me.

No issue at all, if it isnt accurate its good to know to correct the error, appreciate the heads-up on that
I will check with a fellow BZM colleague Willowblue, he is a reserach guru for the BZM site and works part-time with teh AFL with stats and has access to these sort of records
Do you have any more details on Bill Martin eg roughly when he played, DOB, recruited from, was he known as Robert etc, any extra details would help
I do the Lower Grade Players Section on BZM (see link below) and there are over 600 players listed who didnt play senior footy but played U/19's / Reserves footy with the Blues. So if i can get something from WB i will do a Bio on him and include in BZM plus add him to our "All-Star" List, would be good to have at least 20 players in the team
Thanks again
