Narrm Football Club made two changes ahead of Round 10, naming Trent Rivers and Daniel Turner to return for Saturday’s clash with Hawthorn Football Club.

Rivers comes back after managing a knee injury since Round 2 and following a VFL outing that produced 29 disposals, six marks and eight intercepts. Turner is also back after being a late omission last week because of illness.

Caleb Windsor was left out after the club said he was managing a toe concern following an incident in Round 9. Alan Richardson said Windsor would miss the match after feeling irritation in the toe over the weekend, but added that the club was taking the cautious approach and expected him to be back in the selection frame next week.

Andy Moniz-Wakefield was the other omission, with Luker Kentfield and Jack Henderson named as emergencies. For Narrm, the changes come on the first game of Sir Doug Nicholls Round, a match that will be played in a special Indigenous guernsey designed by Nyirripi artist Vanetta Hudson.

The club will also continue to play under the name Narrm Football Club for the duration of the round and will mark its First Nations talent by renaming Bay M57 the Pickett Pocket for the game. Players arrived at the MCG dressed by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander fashion designers, part of a broader display that now sits alongside the football itself.

It leaves Narrm balancing selection changes with a week built around recognition and culture, while the immediate football task is to see whether Rivers can carry his VFL form back into the senior side and whether Windsor’s toe settles quickly enough to put him back in contention next week.
