With a seemingly innate ability to measure flair, skill and intuition, players of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island heritage have had turnstiles ticking for decades.

High marks, flying runs and mercurial goals are what makes our game special and none are better performers and proponents than the descendants of the first Australians.

The role that Indigenous Australians have played in not only shaping Australian Rules Football, but also consistently looking to extend its boundaries cannot be stated emphatically enough.

This weekend, the AFL community will come together for Sir Doug Nicholls round. A chance for Australians of every creed, colour or denomination to pay respect to the games indigenous culture and champions.

Zero Hanger thought this would be the perfect opportunity to decide who every club's best Indigenous player is since the turn of the century.

Jarrod Harbrow

With the most games ever in a Suns' guernsey, Jarrod Harbrow is the logical selection.

Beginning his career at the kennel, Harbrow moved back home to the sunshine state for the 2011 season.

With a best and fairest in 2018 and 185 games under his belt, the Yirrganydji man is a mainstay in the Gold Coast defence.
