Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander are advised this post contains names of deceased persons.

Seven screens the AFL’s Sir Doug Nicholls Round headlined by the marquee Dreamtime blockbuster between traditional rivals Richmond and Essendon on Saturday night.

The 2023 Sir Doug Nicholls Round will celebrate the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples to Australian Football and the country.

The official 7AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round promo premiered on Tuesday night across the screens of Seven, featuring ARIA Award-winning Coodjinburra artist Budjerah performing a specially commissioned rendition of One Song, written by the late Archie Roach.

Budjerah’s emotional tribute to the Gunditjmara and Bundjalung elder will be heard throughout Sir Doug Nicholls Round on Seven.

Kicking off with tomorrow night’s Yartapuulti (Port Adelaide) versus Narrm (Melbourne) clash at Adelaide Oval, Seven’s team will broadcast live from the ground, with Brian Taylor, James Brayshaw, Luke Hodge, Matthew Richardson, Abbey Holmes and Shaun Burgoyne, behind the mic for 7AFL.

Following its long-awaited return to the MCG in 2022, fans can again witness the historic Dreamtime at the ‘G match between Richmond and Essendon live and free on Channel 7 and 7mate this Saturday night from 6.30pm AEST.

Seven’s Dreamtime team will include three-time Brisbane Lions premiership player Chris Johnson alongside Hamish McLachlan, Luke Darcy, Jobe Watson and AFL Indigenous games-record holder Shaun Burgoyne.

Before the on-field action kicks off, everyone’s favourite footy show The Front Bar will return at 8.30pm AEST tonight on Seven and 7plus, with an incredible line-up of the game’s best Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander players joining Andy, Mick and Sam at the bar.

Shaun Burgoyne, Michael Long and Nicky Winmar will be guests at The Front Bar this week to share the personal significance of Sir Doug Nicholls Round, while reflecting on their monumental football careers.
