Jetta and Armstrong in Indigenous All Stars side

They will all get called Leroy.

I dunno, after his performance this year, I would say we have the premier Jetta. The only notable performance from the other Jettas I know is Leroy's acting onfield and an unfortunate instance when for once he had been struck by another player but his reputation preceded him and the umpire thought he was bull@@@@ting.
But I am a one-eyed Swans fan

It's called footy - there is always a chance of getting injured. The honour of having them selected for a representative team far outweighs any concerns re injury in my mind.

Congrats to them both!

Hear hear.

Is it televised?

It's not on their website guide, or the TV guide.
But, the Tigers are streaming it on their website. Official AFL Website of the Richmond Football Club - RICHMONDFC.com.au/

I asked the AFL on twitter and they replied: Live on The official website of the Australian Football League - AFL.com.au.

No mention of free to air TV from them.

I tweeted FoxFooty last night if they were showing it either live or on delay.

Got donuts back from them so far.

If I tweeted "How good was the documentary on Two Dogs, the leader of the black foot Indians in the late 18th century. Well done Fox..." it would have been retweeted in less than 5 minutes.

If Armstong gets a full game, it will be a good thing for him I think.

Fox Footy's failure to televise this game instead of endless reruns is disgraceful. Typical Murdoch contempt for the viewers.

^^ Brilliant post. the quality of the stream makes it hard to watch, would of been good if it was on NiTV aswell.

Could it be they didn't have the rights to the game?

At a guess, I'd say the stadium in Alice isn't set up for it. Fox would not be able to properly set up the necessary equipment needed to deliver a broadcast-quality feed. It's a reasonably involved process - even getting an adequate power supply is often an issue.

No mention of Jetta or Armstrong. Good. They didn't get injured.

If anyone watched the game; What contribution our boys?

All Stars too strong for the Tigers

I watched most of the game, though the quality of the stream made it hard to keep concentrating too much. Armstrong played across half back and got a bit of the ball, was defensively sound and generally distributed it well. The efforts of the Richmond team were such that manic defending was just not required.

Jetta played like it was a meaningless pre-season game - ie he drifted around, didn't particularly exert himself to get to any contests, didn't get much of the ball but used it well when he did. He delivered a couple of excellent long balls into the forward line that led directly to scoring shots but that was about it.
