Round eight will commemorate the second week of 2023 AFLW Indigenous Round.
As part of the celebrations, the Bulldogs will again wear guernseys designed by proud Kerrup-Mara Gunditjmara and Yorta Yorta man Jason Walker.
The design represents Mirring (country) on Gunditjmara, where the Bulldogs are affiliated with in south-west Victoria, and is inspired by the Lake Condah Possum Skin Cloak.
