On May 14 Swifts will have their indigenous match at the club’s North Park ground.
Taylors Lake will be the Swifts’ opponents for the clash.
The club has been happy to acknowledge the wonderful jumpers that Chatfield has designed.
“Heidi has done an exceptional job, and the meaning of the artwork is ‘marngrook’,” Swifts president Steve Hoffman said.
“This translates to Ball Game in Djab Wurrung country.”
Heidi is just one member of her family who plays a key role for the Swifts.
She has helped her father Tim record stats for the under-17 footballers.
Tim is the current coach of the under-17 team, Chatfield’s brother Sam plays in the under-14 side and her sister Chelsea plays netball.
Swifts will be honouring the traditional land owners as well as thanking past and present indigenous players that have helped grow the club over its history.
