St Kilda Football Club wishes to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which the club sits.
The club pays its respects to elders past, present and emerging, and through them all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples whose lands and waters we work, live and reside on.
For the first time in club history and in a landmark event in its yawa (journey), St Kilda Football Club will proudly go by the Boon Wurrung name of Euro-Yroke across this year’s Sir Doug Nicholls Round, marking the occasion with two separate guernseys as part of the celebrations.
The adoption and translation of Euro-Yroke (pronounced yoo-roe yoo-roe-ck) for Sir Doug Nicholls Round was made possible with the assistance of Boon Wurrung Senior Elder N’arweet Dr Carolyn Briggs and Boon Wurrung Elder and language specialist Aunty Fay Muir.
The history of and the club’s connection to Euro-Yroke are commemorated in this season’s two striking designs created by proud Wagiman man and Indigenous artist, Nathan Patterson, both of which highlight the story of the Saints’ homeland and those who have contributed to the yawa to-date.
The intricacies of art and the brutality of football couldn’t be more diametrically opposed. But for Liam Henry there’s no such clash; he’s been tying those two loves of his together since he was 15 years old.
Young artist, Jed Bennell, was given the task of designing Bradley Hill's boots for Sir Doug Nicholls Round.
Together, we celebrate our pride in where we come from and the strength of the people whom we have followed in the footsteps of. We are Euro-Yroke.
We are all united on our yawa, our journey, to make our club a safe place of cultural equality and inclusion.
