WHAT'S :
2009 Draft Rosters

At the dawn of time in aboriginal mythology, the world was shrouded in darkness, for this was the time prior to the creation of the sun. The only light was from distant stars and the moon. Two of earth's primeval creatures--the Emu and the Brolga--began a nocturnal argument about whose future chicks would be more important. As the argument heated up, the Brolga rushed to the emu nest, and grabbing an emu egg hurled it high into the sky. The shell erupted and the yolk burst forth in flames. The flames ignited the piles of wood that had been gathered by the Sky People, thus creating the sun. It is said that even today the Sky People still gather and burn a pile of dry wood each morning amidst the laughter of the kookaburra.
