Don the blue and gold this Sunday as we battle the Hawks in a huge afternoon of footy at Optus Stadium!

This match day is dedicated to acknowledging the WA Emergency Services, as we recognise the courageous work of the Department of Fire and Emergency Services and show our appreciation of the incredible impact they have on Western Australia, and our local communities. 

Head to the Fan Zone to check out the Department of Fire and Emergency Services Fire Engine and meet some of their furry friends, the SES Search and Rescue dogs!

Be in your seats from 2.15pm to see Auzzie the Eagle in her pre-match flight, followed by the Guard of Honour formed by the DFES members and coin toss by Leonie Briggs, 2023 Peter Keillor Award winner.

‘Find Ricky’ Scavenger Hunt and you could WIN

You know our mascots Rick and Rosie, but there is a new little winged fellow you might spy around Optus Stadium on match day! RICKY is a little collectible figurine who our junior members may recognise from their membership packs this year.

This Sunday, Ricky is hiding around the stadium, and we are asking all fans to find him. If you find and scan all 5 Ricky QR codes , you’ll go in the draw to WIN one of five signed caps, signed by players including Reuben Ginbey and Elijah Hewett.

Good luck!
