Richmond vs Essendon - Dreamtime at the 'G - Round 10, 2023

[one-eyed]

Introducing our 2023 Dreamtime jumper, designed by assistant coach, proud Larrakia and Amrreamo/Marritjavin man, Xavier Clarke and his family.

The artwork on the sash is from an original painting from Xavier’s uncle Timothy Dumoo, it depicts a Wangka (dance) from Clarke's people, the Marri Ammu Marri Tjevin clan of the Moyle River floodplains.

The Wangka tells the story of Elders calling out to their ancestors to protect and guide people while on Country. It represents looking after each other and looking after family.

Clarke said since first becoming involved with Richmond in 2017, he had found a similar trait, particularly between teammates. To depict this, the design includes 42 Merrepen leaves representing each player on the list.

In Clarke's family's culture, the Merrepen leaf is used to make woven dilly bags, fishing nets, and other fibre-craft products. Like a bond between football players, the leaves, when connected, can create something strong.

Nice jumper design probably one of the best but the nib logo kind of wrecks it.

For the fans I feel like we should be able to get a version of the jumper without the sponsor logos.

[Tiger Khosh]

Try telling that to the companies shelling out millions of $$$ to be on the jersey lol

[lamington]

It’s a pipe dream I know but it would be epic if it did happen! Same for Anzac jumper

[Hard Roar Tiger]

We’re talking sponsor logos? Really.

This is the biggest Dreamtime game - possibly ever.

[Tiger Khosh]

How so? Both teams are in the bottom 8. I’m sure there’s been multiple dreamtime games where both teams were top8 at the time.

A lot on the line for both teams.

We can't afford to drop a winnable one like this and neither can they.

We have won our past 13 games against this mob .
