What the paper says

Claims have been made since 1983 that Australian Rules Football is at least partially descended from a traditional Aboriginal ballgame called Marn-grook. This article seeks to examine this claim through the variety and volume of texts relating to Aboriginal ballgames in south-eastern Australia from the colonial era to the present.
