The design incorporates the Six Layers of Country and also include a clip of the Biik Ngarrga (Country Dance) performed by Djirri Djirri Wurendjeri women's dance group.

11.01.2022 "So this year the Grand Final parade will not include us. Come Saturday night we will watch the box, wishing we were there. Wishing we felt the relief of 2013, the pure joy of 2014, the sense of this is the natural order of things of 2015. Much as we do not want to see Geelong salute, we hope they dothe view from thirteen premierships is nice and we don’t want to share the lofty peak with those Tigers. And perish the thought they might push on to three in a row. To creat...e their own dynasty." #BaclonyBanter: mcc.org.au/BB20201022
