The Fremantle Dockers take on the Western Bulldogs this Sunday 6 June at Optus Stadium. Bounce down is at 4.40pm.

The match will be played as part of Sir Doug Nicholls Round, which highlights Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander contributions to the game of Australian football.

This weekend’s match day is presented in conjunction with Fremantle’s ‘Stretch’ RAP (Reconciliation Action Plan), which was developed in assistance with the Club’s Indigenous program partner, Woodside.

HALF TIME

Go Cultural Wagyl Performance 
Thanks to the Club’s Indigenous Program Partner, Woodside, be in your seats at half-time for a mesmerising 10-minute performance under the stars as the Wagyl (rainbow serpent) awakens and comes to Optus Stadium. The 35-metre long colourfully LED lit inflatable will move around the ground as the Wagyl creation story is told by Walter McGuire and performers from Go Cultural Aboriginal Tours and Experiences - who are dedicated to sharing and preserving Perth’s Aboriginal cultural heritage and educating Perth people and visitors about Noongar culture and customs.

The Wagyl is seen as the giver of life, lore and culture, maintains fresh water sources and has ties to the Club’s 2021 Indigenous guernsey with the hills and valleys of the Darling Scarp representing Wagyl’s body, with the guernsey also featuring some of the lakes around Beeliar boodjar he created and rested in.

As part of Sir Doug Nicholls Round, we welcome back Banksia Grove Primary School who will be performing the Fremantle Dockers team song in Nyoongar language to welcome the team back onto the field for the third quarter.
