I just showed jnr your post (just the pics) and he said "Nash"...

Got a laugh from him and said it was a great likeness.

Great comparison !!!!

St.Fid, your son obviously likes his basketball?

Steve Nash, like Milney, is a little guy in comparison to the other players on the court/field. They are both very quick and sharp shooters. It'd be fair to say, there's a good chance Milney might take the comparison on board as a compliment if he has ever watched his doppelganger play.

Yeah, he loves his sport no matter what type....

He is looking forward to the upcoming premier league darts final...

Simon Whitlock from Australia is competing, but he is a bit annoyed tonight because the game is postponed until tomorrow...

One of the leading assists players of all times.

Milney has improved in this area but I dont think he will get to those heights.

I may be completely off the ball here but I sense an accusation of ignorance from your post, almost like you're saying that commentators think 'all them dark boys look the same'...

Just out of curiosity have you seen much of Carlton play this season? have you ever gotten Yarran, Betts or Garlett mixed up?

You are not off the ball, and I am saying that.

As my eldest and his son barrack for the blues, I have had the misfortune of seeing them four or five times. There are plenty of Carlton guys I do not recognise, but I can tell individuals apart.

Inconsequential anyway, as the three Carlton guys have the same ethnic background. Not the same with Jimmy and Raph.

I have to say I think you're being a bit harsh on the commentators.

When I'm at the game (I usually sit on the second or third level) I can almost always tell St Kilda players apart whether it's their hair/ height or even their running style, but also skin colour. I don't believe that's racist, I just think it is a physical attribute that can help identify between two players.

Out of interest would you be making the same comments if Harry O played for us and the commentators got Harry and Gwilt mixed up?

They're from two different continents yet I would think if they were playing in the same colours they would be almost identical at times.

Is wanting to recruit aboriginal players really racist? I think its a compliment, they are fantastic athletes.

what, all of them? every single one? just because they're aboriginal they must be fantastic athletes?

yes, that is racist. it's positive, yes, but you're still stereotyping an entire group of people on the basis of skin colour.

i reckon rhys stanley is a pretty good athlete. shame he's not black or we could call him magical.

Obviously this is "generally speaking" and its not being racist unless of couse you are very touchy, which the racist card is. What about the black africans, you can't tell me they are not great athletes, have you not watched the olympics. These guys nearlly always win long distance marathons. Its in their genes, their ancestory, but is everyone a gold medal olympian, no. Nordic countries are good at sking, Australians are good at swimming, its who we are. If thats racist well so be it.

Harry O has more of a tan and his hair is darker and more dreadlockie, also has a different build.

What about Ben McEvoy and Michael Rennie?

Klaatu barada nikto!
