What’s on?

The Hawks will play their second game of Sir Doug Nicholls Round at home in front of the Hawthorn faithful.

The team will be wearing their 2024 Indigenous guernsey, designed by Whadjuk, Ballardong and Eastern Arrernte artist Jade Dolman.

Hawks fans will have the opportunity to watch a documentary before the match explaining the meaning behind the 2024 Indigenous Guernsey from the words of Chance Bateman, who the guernsey is inspired by.

Wurundjeri Elder Aunty Joy Murphy Wandin AO will also be performing a Welcome to Country pre-game.

Fans can then enjoy a pre-game dance and didgeridoo performance from Indigenous dance group Bandok Tati.

Bandok Tati use their traditional song and dance to tell stories and represent the lore and the rich ancestral legacies from which they descended from. They dance to make sure they continue the traditions that their ancestors have been practicing for over 2000 generations and to make their old people proud.

As part of Hawthorn’s partnership with Deadly Choices, the team will be warming up in Deadly Choices t-shirts. Deadly Choices is an organisation that aims to empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to help them to make healthier choices for themselves and their families.

The Hawks will also host a pre-game smoking ceremony on the ground before the first bounce.

As the team runs out, Hawthorn's song will be played in Woi Wurrung language, performed by proud Wurundjeri woman and granddaughter of Aunty Joy, Chenile Chandler.
