Essendon have touched down in Darwin ahead of Saturday night’s AFLW Dreamtime clash against Richmond.
Flying out alongside their Tiger opponents from Tullamarine on Thursday morning, the build-up to the primetime clash holds several community activations and events for both clubs which began in the afternoon.
The Dons’ players and staff were welcomed to Larrakia land with a traditional Saltwater Welcome to Country upon arrival in the afternoon before visiting local schools and NTFL clubs for clinics and Q&A sessions.
Essendon’s time in the Territory will also see an open training session for Friday’s Captain’s Run at TIO Stadium after an iteration of the Little Long Walk with special guests in the morning.
Stay tuned to Essendon’s AFLW Instagram and X accounts ahead of and during Saturday’s game to remain up-to-date on the club’s Indigenous Round weekend.
