Nicky’s a Panther for a day By Russell Bennett St Kilda legend Nicky Winmar will be the star attraction at Devon Meadows this Saturday as part of the club's NAIDOC Week celebrations. Winmar - an Indigenous Team of the Century member, two-time All-Australian, and two-time Saints best and fairest winner - will be the guest of honour at a Panthers lunch, beginning at noon. Winmar played 251 AFL games across stints at both St Kilda and the Western Bulldogs and
became a pioneer for his strong stance against racism, as depicted in 'that' symbolic 1993 photo taken by Wayne Ludbey during Round 4 of that season against Collingwood at Victoria Park. There will be a traditional Aboriginal lunch consisting of marinated lemon myrtle chicken, before the Panthers' senior clash with Somerville. Tickets are $50. Anyone wishing to attend should RSVP as soon as possible by calling 0438 613 340. cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au
