I’ll lead the invasion

KEVIN SHEEDY

AS EARLY as this week we could witness a truly historic moment. Not historic as in vaguely interesting but a once in a 100 years event.

Not historic as in vaguely interesting, or a bit exciting, but a once in a 100 years event.

Lance Franklin won’t just win the Coleman Medal this year, he will be the first indigenous footballer to kick 100 goals.

Never before has an indigenous footballer won the Coleman, let alone such a captivating young individual.

We have seen all types of exciting indigenous players, but this is different.

This could excite some super young kid in Arnhem Land or a remote community who will think, ‘I can do this’.

This isn’t Andrew McLeod’s Norm Smith Medals, or Adam Goodes’ Brownlow.

It is the I-can-kick-goals medal.

SHEEDY jump the fence, when Buddy kicks his ton, I'd like to see that!

Andrew Demetriou's face would drop (even further), even if he is living it up, in the RED Penthouses of far-away, Beijing...

Cheers,
