Indigenous Round will run over a two-week period across Round 3 and 4, where the club will once again take on the name Narrm, the traditional Wurundjeri Woiwurrung word for Melbourne and its surrounds.
The league will then celebrate Pride Round in the back half of the season across Round 9 and 10, the Dees hosting a Pride Party at IKON Park on Friday 16 October.
