Past Legacies, Future Legends.
This year’s celebration will take place over two rounds:
Round 3 (29 - 31 Aug) and Round 4 (6 - 7 Sept).
The 2025 theme — Past Legacies, Future Legends — highlights three important anniversaries and recognises the enduring impact and future of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our game; Ten years of Sir Doug Nicholls Round; 20 years since the Indigenous Team of the Century; 30 years since the introduction of the Peek Rule (Rule 35, the AFL’s anti-vilification and discrimination rule).
