Huge thanks to the Western Bulldogs for having the 37 team perform an excerpt from the show before the match last Thursday! It was such a special moment to celebrate Marngrook at Marvel Stadium as part of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round.
Sir Doug Nicholls Round is always a special time in the AFL Fixture. 2024 took it to another level. Proud to have played my part in highlighting Indigenous culture as we partnered with the Melbourne Theatre Company to host '37', a play celebrating the game of Marngrook and its connection to AFL, during our pregame. A huge shoutout & congrats to everyone in our Western Bulldogs wider team for helping bring this together, along with additional dance performances, smoking ceremonies and a Welcome to Country. I cannot wait to see how we elevate this further next year. Adding to a big weekend, I was also fortunate enough to get the opportunity to assist the AFL - Australian Football League deliver Dreamtime at the G. It was a privilege to be on field for an amazing show, that everyone involved with, should be proud of. Thank you to wider AFL events team for having me around as part of that experience. Sir Doug Nicholls Round continues to be an amazing celebration each year and a key reminder, on the importance of acknowledging our First Nations Peoples.
