Young Sudanese refugee's Aussie Rules football dream


It’s easy to mock Australia’s obsession with sport as a triumph of brawn over brains. But hear Sudanese-born Majak Daw - a most impressive young man - talk of being selected by North Melbourne. The accent, the choice of our national game, the modesty, the intelligence - and all shown on the great stage of Australian football.

Australian Rules in particular is not a mere sport. It is a social glue. Daw’s example will draw many Sudanese into one of the great Australian traditions, and will reassure many other Australians that Sudanese such as Daw do indeed wish to be of us, and not just next to us.

Congradulations Majak on being the first Sudanese to be drafted to the AFL, hopefully the first of many!
Look forward to seeing him develop and play his first game.
