MARN GROOK AT THE SCG 
The meaning of Marn Grook translates to 'Game Ball'. It’s the name given to a traditional game played during a corroboree, which was played with a ball made from possum skin. &nbsp;The Swans have played Marn Grook since 2002.&nbsp;
MARN GROOK GUERNSEY 
The Sydney Swans will run out in a new Marn Grook guernsey which has been designed by GO Foundation scholar, artist and a proud Wiradjuri woman Lua Pellegrini. &nbsp;The artwork on the guernsey is titled Duguwaybul Yindyamangidyal which means altogether respectfully: respect, gentleness, politeness, honour, careful, altogether as one. It represents connectedness, depicting the story of the 19 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men who have played for the Sydney Swans, both in the past and the present.
MARN GROOK TROPHY AND GOODES-O’LOUGHLIN MEDAL 
The winning team will receive the Marn Grook Trophy and the player judged best on ground will be presented with the Goodes-O’Loughlin Medal to honour the contribution of Swans greats Adam Goodes and Michael O’Loughlin. Isaac Heeney (2018 and 2021) is the only multiple winner of the medal.

We join the sporting world in disbelief and shock at the loss of Shane Warne. We have farewelled too many great cricketers these past few months.
'Warnie' was one of the most loved cricketers of any generation, particularly at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
He played his first and last Test matches at the SCG and has taken more Test wickets at our ground than any player in history.
His feats will live on in our minds and his performances are preserved on our honour boards but our summers ahead will be emptier without his presence.
We cheered Warnie on the field and many of our staff were lucky to know him during his playing and commentary careers. He was generous with his time whenever he visited, greeting us like old family members.
He loved the SCG and we loved him back.
