Transcript
00:00Yeah, I'm an Indigenous round front runner this weekend, but yeah, Jamie Bunnell did this for us, you've got the Bunjil and then the three Indigenous girls that have been at the club, myself, Matia and Janet, and then down the bottom is the rest of the group as well, meeting down there, so yeah, it's a really beautiful game here.
00:18I think it's just an opportunity for us to showcase what we've got and the young girls and boys to look up to us, just the communities that get around us and they can see us doing it, so I'm really so excited for our future.
00:31As a player who has played and a player who's now watching, I think it's really exciting for Aboriginal girls to be able to see what they can be, for our female footballers and non-binary footballers to play the game and also create that opportunity.
00:46The contribution from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is crucial in our game for growth.
00:51Without that, we can't really create that ship that we're looking for and until then, we don't understand what our support looks like for those players in the system too.
00:59So, we come from all different backgrounds, different nations, I'm a Noongar woman and I'm different to somebody who lives on a wandering country.
