Dreamtime at the 'G: Celebrating Indigenous Excellence in AFL
A Legacy of Recognition
The inaugural Dreamtime at the 'G match took place in 2005, fulfilling a long-held aspiration to honor the significant contributions of Indigenous players to the Australian Football League (AFL). The event has since become an annual tradition, captivating the nation with its celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.
A Pioneering Vision
The genesis of Dreamtime at the 'G can be traced back to the visionary leadership of Kevin Sheedy, then coach of the Essendon Football Club. Seeking to amplify the voices of Indigenous players and showcase their unparalleled talent, Sheedy proposed a dedicated fixture that would serve as a platform for recognition and celebration.
Since its inception, Dreamtime at the 'G has attracted an average crowd of over 70,000 each year, demonstrating the unwavering support of the football community for this groundbreaking initiative. The event has witnessed countless memorable moments, from Dean Polo's debut to Sam Durham's match-winning goal, etching itself into the annals of AFL history.
