What’s On | Round 10
Waalitj Marawar v Euro-Yroke 
Sunday, May 18 | 2.40pm (AWST) | Optus Stadium / Whadjuk 
Gates open 1.00pm 

This Sunday, join us for a special celebration as we take on Euro-Yroke (St Kilda) in our Sir Doug Nicholls Round 10 match at Optus Stadium! 

Once again, we are coming together to celebrate and recognise First Nations people and cultures, and their contributions to Australian football, across rounds 10 and 11 of the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season. 

The team will be wearing our 2025 First Nations Guernsey, designed by First Nations artist Kevin Wilson, with special contributions from six First Nations players who were part of the team in 2024 – this is a piece that represents the heart and soul of our First Nations playing group. 

During Sir Doug Nicholls Round, we will feature the Noongar language translation of the West Coast Eagles - Waalitj Marawar, meaning 'Eagles of the West'.
