As Eagles, we fly as one.

 

Acknowledgement of country

Yarraville Seddon Eagles would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of our land. In particular the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and the Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation on whose land we now gather on play our game. The origins of the game we love stem from marngrook, from the Woiwurung language for ‘ball’ or ‘game”, which is a traditional Indigenous Australian game, which can be still be witnessed in the way we play today. Bunjil the eagle, the creator, takes pride of place as the symbol of our Football Club. Together, the Yarraville Seddon Eagles Football club, would like to pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging.
