Carlton News2023 Indigenous Guernsey
This year’s Indigenous guernsey reflects traditional Tiwi culture representing the Kulama Ceremony, Pamajini (arm bands) and spear and has been designed by proud Tiwi woman Russellina ‘Russy’ Puruntatameri. The Kulama Ceremony is an annual celebration of life and an important ritual for young men. It consists of three days and three nights of ritual body paintings, singing and dancing which happens towards the end of the wet season when a ring appears around the moon. The circular shapes on the guernsey represent the ceremonial dancing ground, an important ceremony in the Tiwi community that symbolises good health, hunting and initiation. Russy wanted to showcase the strength and resilience of the Tiwi women through illustrating a Numwariyaka (spear) and Pamajini (arm bands)which sit proudly across the front. The arm bands are woven from pandanus and are an important part of Tiwi ceremony. For the first time, the guernsey will be worn by both the AFL and AFLW teams this year.
Gift exchange
Taking place at the coin toss pre-game, the Blues will gift Sydney a Pukumani Pole, designed by proud Tiwi woman Russellina Puruntatameri. The Pukumani Poles are part of a major ceremony of great significance to the Tiwi culture. The Pukumani ceremony is the culmination of ritual mourning for a deceased person. Several months after the burial, family commission in-laws of the deceased to carve and decorate elaborate tutini. These are then placed at the gravesite during a showy performance of song and dance, and tunga (bark bags) are placed upside down on top of the poles to signify the end of life.
Mitch McGovern – 50 Games
Carlton defender Mitch McGovern will play his 50th Carlton game tonight against Sydney. McGovern joined Carlton at the end of the 2018 season after a trade with Adelaide. Having played the majority of his career as a forward (having kicked 104 career goals), McGovern made the switch to the backline following the 2021 season, filling a gap alongside Jacob Weitering. Despite a hamstring injury ruling out the middle portion of last season, McGovern slotted seamlessly into the back half, with his intercept marking and pinpoint delivery proving to be key assets of his game.
Sydney News:SIR DOUG NICHOLLS ROUND
Our players will wear our Marn Grook guernsey, which was designed by GO Foundation scholar, artist Lua Pellegrini, a proud Wiradjuri woman who grew up on Darug country.
GIFT GIVING
These are a set of black wattle timber hunting and ceremonial boomerangs. These were traditional and are still used to hunt animals and used in ceremony to accompany song and dance. The shape of the boomerangs are dependent on the natural bends found in the branches of the trees. Co-captain Luke Parker and Lance Franklin will present the gifts.
