From the SANFL website, here are some of the events you can look forward to at various grounds.

LET US ENTERTAIN YOU

Eight multicultural groups will be performing across all four matches as a celebration of the ‘be active’ Multicultural Round.

These groups will entertain footy supporters immediately prior to each League match and at half-time.

City Mazda Stadium: West v Sturt

Royal Punjabi Bhangra
The Royal Punjabi dance troupe consists of Indian students who are currently studying in South Australia.The group performs at festivals, major events and special Indian cultural nights across Adelaide.


Burundian Drummers Club of SA
The club was formed in Adelaide three years ago, and its members play an instrument that is synonymous with the central African nation of Burundi. Traditionally, these drums are played in Burundi when people are celebrating some kind of happy or historic event – such at the end of a successful hunt or when the king is crowned.



Hamra Homes Oval: Central v Port

Christ Redeemer Ambassadors
The Christ Redeemer Ambassadors is a choir consisting of people recently arrived from the central African nation called the Democratic Republic of Congo. Through their gospels songs, the singers aim to bring hope, to praise God and to thank the Australian Government for helping them to settle in this country.


Bhutanese Cultural Dancers
The Bhutanese Cultural Dancers are members of a small but growing local community originating from the south Asian nation of Bhutan. The group started performing across Adelaide soon after the first Bhutanese settlers arrived in South Australia in 2008. Today, the young women and men are wearing traditional costumes and entertaining us with dances that are usually performed at the end of the working day in Bhutan.



Prospect Oval: North v Panthers

International Revival Gospel Choir
The International Revival Gospel Choir was formed in 2005 by South Australians recently arrived from the central African nations of Burundi and Congo. These are among the many hundreds of Africans who have settled in our State over the past five years. The singers will be performing in English and French, and in the African languages of Swahili and Kirundi.


Croatian Lenek Folkloric Ensemble
The Croatian Lenek Folkloric Ensemble was established in 1979, and its members range in age from five to 35 years. It has performed at countless events across Australia – including the Croatian Food and Wine Festival held at Gepps Cross every year. The group will perform a traditional Croatian dance to songs about unrequited love.



Woodville Oval: Eagles v Glenelg

Dinka Bor dance troupe
The Dinka Bor dance troupe hails from the African nation of Suda. Dinka Bors started settling in South Australia in 2006, and they today are the largest of the more than 20 groups that form the wider Sudanese community. These dancers have taken part in the annual Australia Day Parade through the streets of Adelaide.


Pontian Brotherhood dance group
The Pontian Brotherhood dance group helps maintain the rich culture of the Greek region of Pontus and surrounding areas. Some of the characteristics of the dances include strict, yet fluid movement of the body, and a fast shaking of the upper torso. In ancient times, such dances were performed by Pontian- Greek soldiers to help motivate themselves before going into battle.

That's a little disappointing, I was expecting to find Morris dancing and moaning Yorkshiremen at my home ground......

[Mr Irate]

Actually, I'm pretty well guaranteed the second one at every home game

Uncannily, that picture is *exactly* what I encountered on the platform of Elizabeth train station the last time I caught the train home from a night footy game at Hamra. Except the ones I saw were jumping down to squat on the tracks ...

LET US ENTERTAIN YOU

I’m entertained – someone with a sense of humour has surely had a hand in the programming of events for each match!

City Mazda Stadium: West v Sturt

Burundian Drummers Club of SA

The drums are beating for both these sides this week – but one will march onwards from here you’d think!

Hamra Homes Oval: Central v Port

Christ Redeemer Ambassadors

Port are looking for $220k at the moment – and an end to a string of honourable losses throughout the year. They will be seeking some redemption this week at the Ponderosa, no doubt!

Prospect Oval: North v Panthers

International Revival Gospel Choir

Both these sides are crying out for a revival.

Woodville Oval: Eagles v Glenelg

Pontian Brotherhood dance group
The Pontian Brotherhood dance group helps maintain the rich culture of the Greek region of Pontus and surrounding areas. Some of the characteristics of the dances include strict, yet fluid movement of the body, and a fast shaking of the upper torso. In ancient times, such dances were performed by Pontian- Greek soldiers to help motivate themselves before going into battle.

Not sure what to make of this – but some of the beards and dreadlocks and all the body armour (tape) on Woodville Oval will surely be reminiscent of Greek soldiers going in to battle!

[Dogwatcher]

Thanks for the laugh Mr Irate.
Very funny.

Any chance the SANFl can introduce a "retro round".

Clubs can wear guernseys from the 60's 70's or 80's, supporters no matter what age are encouraged to wave a flag or flogger and cut up is allowed to be thrown.
Supporters wearing duffle coats could get free entry and those wearing a mullet or ugg boots could get a free choc shake or razz.

The SANFL did this back in 2006 - Back To The 70's round, with similar concepts with the guernsies at least.

Yep but only Centrals and the umpires chose to wear '70's uniforms, though the goal umpires also return to 70's goal umpiring decisions (signalling goals from anywhere).
