A young Freo fan has had the experience of a lifetime during the AFL’s Indigenous Round.

Dre Ngatokorua was able to watch his beloved Fremantle Dockers sing the team song in the change rooms after the thrilling 11-point win over Adelaide at Adelaide Oval.

Watch: What is means to us - Indigenous Round

Dre is a young man of Wankangurru, Adynamathanha, Luritja and Maori decent.

He is proud of his heritage and background and grew up in a small Aboriginal community 306km north of Adelaide, called Davenport Community.

He has since moved to Sacred Heart College to complete his education and was elected by his peers to be school captain this year.

Dre takes his position of school captain very seriously and has worked hard to educate the school in terms of Reconciliation.

This included the erection of a flag pole that flies the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander flags, and an inaugural Reconciliation footy match between Sacred Heart & Westminster which will be played on Monday 1 June, 2015.

The young fan was able to meet a number of Freo stars in the change rooms after the game, including his favourite player Matthew Pavlich – a fellow Sacred Heart boy.

Dre was nominated by his school teacher for his outstanding leadership skills to be able to have the experience and he loved every minute.



“I was surprised by that (nomination), it is a real shock but this whole day has been amazing,” he said.

“I was pretty happy to meet ‘Pav’ for the first time and get a selfie with him, I’m getting chills now.”

Dre was also able to meet Lachie Neale, Stephen Hill and Michael Walters to name a few, with ‘Son Son’ even revealing they knew the same people that attended the match.

“(It is a small world)…Michael Walters also has a few family members that I know, it’s pretty good to know that,” Dre said.
