ARTISTS from across Australia have contributed to Narrm's Sir Doug Nicholls Round and Alice Springs trip, as their art and traditional craft took pride of place during the week's celebrations.
Boomerangs and Indigenous weapons were shown to the travelling playing group at Simpsons Gap by the Santa Teresa Traditional Craft Centre.
On match day the Demons presented the GWS Giants with marngrooks (traditional Indigenous game balls), produced by Bernadette Atkinson, owner of Winyarr Dreaming Creations.
Marngrooks were also exchanged as the VFLW Casey Demons took on Footscray.
Painted footballs were the prized reward for those judged best afield in the second round of the Sir Doug Nicholls celebrations, as well as being used for the gift exchange against both the Bulldogs and Hawthorn.
Daniel Turner took home the AFL award, with the exquisite hand painted football supplied to the club by Ricky Kildea from Marngrook Designs.
Turner was resolute in defence against the Bulldogs, with a match-leading eight intercept possessions.
Andy Moniz-Wakefield was awarded the VFL football 'Yakeen - Dreaming' designed by Kelsey Love, while Zahri Burn won the VFLW award by Marngrook Designs.
