WHILE Melbourne was out played by the undefeated Magpies on Sunday afternoon, Round 5 was bigger than the four points.
It marked the inaugural AFLW indigenous Round, with the Demons pulling on a guernsey designed by Krstel Petrevski.
Both sides wore 'Free the Flag' warm-up tops and lined up to pay their respects with a Welcome to Country pre-game, before gifts were exchanged at the coin toss.
Take a look at all the action from Victoria Park, as seen on social media.
Full of culture, community + connection. ?
