Three of footy’s most exciting First Nations stars come together for a special edition of The Howie Games celebrating Sir Doug Nicholls Round.

This is a conversation built on moments, connections and stories. From family ties and cultural pride to the influence of mentors, teammates and communities - and no shortage of CYRIL! The boys reflect on what it means to represent First Nations people on the AFL stage and why their impact stretches far beyond football.

In a powerful and at times hilarious chat, they open up on identity, belonging, growing up with the game, and the joy and responsibility that comes with inspiring the next generation.

Because First Nations excellence is more than football ability — it’s resilience, culture, connection and community. And when these boys shine, the game becomes stronger, richer and more meaningful for everyone.

This is a highlight of the Howie Games so far!
