The club has been involved in several activities leading into the game to celebrate Indigenous culture.
Before Sunday’s game there will be some key activities taking place.
Thanks to club major sponsors Programmed and Woodside, 15 Indigenous elders will travel to Melbourne from Perth and the Kimberley to attend the game.
They will join five elders from Melbourne to form a guard of honour on ground as the players run through the banner.
The banner will feature the Sorry Day commemorative flower, which is also on this year’s Indigenous jumper above the three boomerangs.
The words ‘Honouring the Stolen Generations’ will be written across the banner to recognise the generations of Indigenous Australians who were forcibly removed from their families in years past.
Fremantle’s Indigenous players Michael Johnson, Stephen Hill and Danyle Pearce will pass a message stick to Koby Stevens from the Western Bulldogs at the coin toss.
The message stick is one of the oldest forms of communication and it acts like a passport.
A message stick shows, in symbols, the country that people are travelling from and what business they would like to engage in with the permission of the local custodians.
Fremantle’s message stick was designed by Indigenous artist Richard Walley and is painted purple and white at one end and blue, red and white at the other to represent the two teams.
The symbols represent that Freo are coming for ‘good business’.
The game will be broadcast LIVE nationally on Fox Sport 3 from 1pm WST and live into Perth on Channel 7.
Bounce down is 1.20pm WST.
Michael Johnson and Michael Walters attended the Reconciliation WA National Sorry Day event in East Perth on Monday 26 May.
The playing group and entire staff group also took part in a smoking ceremony at Fremantle Oval on Wednesday 28 May.
