Join one boy and his team as they play the Sir Doug Nicholls Round, which celebrates the contribution of First Nations culture to AFL.
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 underneath the southern sun.
