Richmond has become the first AFL club to support Treaty advancement in the lead up to the federal election and will use the Dreamtime game against Essendon in a bid to encourage indigenous Victorians to take part in the historic vote.
With the AFL yet to form a united view before a forecast referendum on constitutional recognition, the Tigers have taken a stand using the Indigenous Dreamtime Game at the MCG on May 25 to endorse a treaty and encourage all Aboriginal people across Victoria to take part.
Tigers president Peggy O’Neal said the new partnership with Treaty would ‘‘take the club’s responsibilities as a leader in reconciliation to a new level. We want to give the Treaty Advancement Commission every chance of success.

Well done Tigers.
I hope we can all unite behind the club and support them with this important issue.
