DREAMTIME
Essendon’s 2026 Dreamtime guernsey ‘A Piece of Me’ was designed by Aunty Karen Lovett, a proud Gunditjmara woman. The guernsey symbolises Aunty Karen's journey growing up in institutions, honours Elders who have passed, and reflects important symbols of Country. The design also highlights different Aboriginal art styles and acknowledges those who have survived through policies and systems.
