Before continuing with this message may I just say I respect you very much as an Aboriginal and QLD player. I just have to say as a young indigenous player nothing would give me greater pride and pleasure then to play for my people. Our people haven't had a lot, so pulling on an indigenous jersey and running onto the field would give me more excitement and pride then a QLD or AUS jersey would. I would happily sacrifice both for 1 chance to play for my people. Aboriginal players should strive to play for AUS but I think if given the choice they should stand up and play for their people. The All Stars game filled me with more pride then I have ever known. In 2013 nothing would make me prouder then have all indigenous side in the world cup. No matter how we do in the tournament nothing will ever take the pride i feel.
Yours sincerely,
Matthew McCarthy
