Sir Doug Nicholls Round

[PatowalongaPirate]

This week marks the beginning of the ninth Sir Doug Nicholls Round which will be held across Round 10 and Round 11. The round begins in Darwin this season with Gold Coast and Geelong facing off and will be headlined by the annual Dreamtime at the 'G match and Marn Grook Game at the SCG.

There are 71 current AFL players who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. Once again, all 18 AFL clubs will wear their own specifically designed Indigenous guernseys across Sir Doug Nicholls Round. Each club has worked closely with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists to design guernseys that tell stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s culture, history, traditions, and resilience.

A third of all AFL clubs will change their names to translations in Traditional Owner's language across Sir Doug Nicholls Round. The Adelaide Crows will be known as Kuwarna (pronounced goo-wun-na), St Kilda will be known as Euro-Yroke (pronounced yoo-roe yoo-roe-ck), and the West Coast Eagles will be known as Waalitj Marawar (pronounced wah-litch mara-wah) for the first time. For the second consecutive year, Fremantle will be known as Walyalup (pronounced wul-yul-up) and Port Adelaide will be Yartapuulti (pronounced Yarta–pole-tee), while Melbourne will be known as Narrm (pronounced na-arm) for the third consecutive year. Kuwarna is the Kaurna translation for the word 'crows' and Euro-Yroke is the Boon Wurrung translation for 'St Kilda'. Waalitj Marawar means 'Eagle of the West' in the local Noongar language. Narrm derives from the Woi Wurrung language meaning Melbourne, Walyalup is the Noongar name for the Fremantle region, and Yartapuulti comes from the Kaurna language meaning the land surrounding the Port River.

Thinking about going to the dreamtime game on the 25th as I'll be in Melb. Richmond are garbage though, so could be a non-event.
