Has there ever been an Asian AFL football player?

[verypoorboy]

Other then Peter Bell....and Strauchanie

I know some asian players that use to play junior footy with me and some of them were absolute guns. I reckon we will see some in the AFL in the next 5 years.

 

[AFKAJR]

[JUBJUB]

Matthew Stokes is half Asian [Malaysian ?]

 

[The_Eagles]

IIRC the Pies had an Asian kid by the name of Danny Seow (spelling?) on their list a few years back.

Was Danny Seouw (?) from Collingwood Asian?

Sri Lankan, so you could draw a bow there maybe.
Belly's the only orphan Korean lawyer I know.
What a little champ.

From memory Danny Seow was vietnamese.

Also, don't forget the Matera's were part chinese.

Adelaide had a player of Indian decent called Sudjai Cook in the late 90s...

I assume you mean SE Asian, Asia is a big continent.

Mauritian not sri lankan as others have suggested.

No they weren't, they were part italian - hence the name - and part indigenous.

Aaron Edwards- Kangaroos- Samoa
Mal Michael- Essendon/Brisbane- New Guinea?
Peter Bell- Fremantle/Kangaroos- Korea

Why are you interested?

I'm pretty sure I read a quote from Peter Matera that they had chinese blood as well.

 

[GoDons]

Balraj Singh was the first Indian player to be on an AFL list for Adelaide, not that he played a game.

He's technically Asian.

 

[Stronzo]

African then?

Mauritians bear more in common with Indians or Sri Lankans than Africans.
