1# Courtenay Dempsey - Sir Doug Nicholls Round Interview

On the first edition of the ‘In The Ball Park Interview’ we virtually caught up with Essendon Defender and Indigenous community ambassador Courtenay Dempsey to speak to him about what it has been like representing his proud Indigenous background through Sir Doug Nicholls Round in the AFL, on the big stage at the MCG for 'Dreamtime At The G' and to hear his thoughts on this years 'Dreamtime in Darwin' game being played in 'The Top End'.

He also told us about his miraculous kick off his back heel whilst running at full speed out of the back line in 2014 against the Gold Coast Suns.
