This artwork, designed by Bayley Mifsud (Merindah-Gunya), a proud Peek and Kirrae Whurrong woman from Warrnambool, celebrates the deep connection between football, family, and community.
The new Sir Doug Nicholls Round design for 2026 tells a powerful story about the importance of our game. From running around the boundary line, hearing the siren, and being surrounded by people who felt like family at local footy. Footy has always been a meeting place.
The central meeting places represent football clubs across Country, with surrounding people symbols showing the players, supporters, and the kids growing up on the sidelines.
This replica of the official game ball features Bayley’s design in a red and yellow.
Proceeds from this Sherrin will be donated to the AFL's First Nations Impact Fund.
