Every year the AFL pays respect to Indigenous culture with two rounds that show a beautiful display of art and traditions depicted on their playing guernseys.
Sir Doug Nicholls was a fighter for social justice and became the first Aboriginal-Australian to be knighted in 1972, and his impact continues on even today.
Here's how each AFL club will be suiting up for Sir Doug Nicholls Round.
Fremantle Dockers (Walyalup)
Stunning.

Carly Grey and Fremantle captain Alex Pearce, friends from the Palawa country, have together created the 2023 Indigenous jumper.
"I'm incredibly proud, its been a really cool process." Pearce stated.
The Guernsey tells the story of Pearce's heritage and his journey from Tasmania to Fremantle. He also mentions that it's exciting to have connections back in Tasmania after the announcement of the 19th AFL License just a couple of weeks back.
