Nick Malceski: he plays for the Sydney Swans FC. there isn't much videos of him:
YouTube - Chick bump on Malceski

Peter Daicos: he played for the Gollingwood Magpies FC. he is from the Lerin area which explains his last name. His nickname is the Macedonian marvel:

Daniel The Great, Isnt Ange Christou from Egejska Makedonija?

[Daniel the Great]

Prolet, i am not sure if he is Macedonian but i doubt it, i think he is a Grk, he co owns the Souvlaki hut restaurant with Anthony Koutafides.

[Daniel the Great]

Prolet, could Vasil Varlamos be a Macedonian from Aegean Macedonia? i mean the Greeks don't use the name "Vasil" they use the name "Vasili". He played for the mighty Carlton Blues FC.

Ange Christou I have heard is Macedonian, so grko mani familia od Florina

[Prolet]

Anthony Koutafedes is half Greek Half Italian but he is a Macedonian Zet, he is married to Klime's daughter the Ohrigjanec. That guy was a singer

[Daniel the Great]

Oh ye and i forgot to mention, i am related to Peter Daicos . not braging though, lol.

[Prolet]

Daniel The Great, Im pretty sure the Daicos family originate from Banica, some stayed there the others went to the Prespa region. They changed their names back to Daikov.

Daniel The Great, Isnt Ange Christou from Egejska Makedonija?

There are International visitors to this Forum lets not embarrass ourselves with that stupid game

Whilst the Macedonians that play it obviously were never good enough to play the real game f Football

Nothing wrong with AFL, it's a good game that probably has some indigenous Australian roots in some elements. Good thread Daniel.

[julie]

Frank, AFL is Australia's national sport, and as SoM has pointed out , the first AFL foortball teams were largely indigenous.
I think its great having Macedonians play the national sport, and this is a great thread! Macedonian achievements should be highlighted at every opportunity, God knows the dushmani do it constantly
All my sons have played Aussie rules and soccer as well growing up
And DTG how wonderful to be related to the great Peter!

Well said SoM and Julie, i think noting the achievement's of the Macedonians who play this sport is the main thing. I personally have played the sport of Aussie rules Football for many years and trust me it's not easy. What Frank said is totally stupid because those players would of went through so much years of hard training etc to make it where they are now, i think a small acknowledgement isn't to much to ask for, hey Franky?

Thank's for the support SoM and Julie. And ye being related to Peter Daicos (Daikov) (the Macedonian marvel) even if it is sought of distant related is prety cool, he is a legend of the game.

[Frank]

Frankly seeing Macedonians achieve great heights in a Sport like Australian Rules doesn't motivate me to give them a high five

International Sport yes not that rubbish

It is a parochial pile of shit with limited tactical and individual skillets compared to Football.

I am from Victoria I do understand the culture around it, hell we are exposed to it 1000 times a day

Cricket is well and truly Australia's National Game with AFL having little impact in QLD and NSW.

Australian Rules football is British in origin, it has since had multiple rule changes so that it no longer resembles Rugby rules or Cambridge rules football the football rules on which the game was based. The only indigenous connection I can make is the land it is played on.
