A joyful celebration of First Nations culture that captures the joy of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round of AFL through the eyes of one boy and his cousin.

Gulpa gaka! Welcome! Let's play and run!

My name is Jahleel. Come join the fun!

I'm a proud Yorta Yorta kid, excited to be here.

Kicking big goals on the best day of the year!

With every goal, I cheer with glee,

an AFL star I hope to be.

Footy and culture come together as one,

in this land, under the southern sun.

The Sir Doug Nicholls Round is held in local Australian football clubs each year to recognise the contribution of First Nations culture to Australian Football.
