“The Qantas Boots and Dreams Exhibition celebrates the influence the Indigenous community has on Australian football.
“As a major partner of the AFL's Indigenous programs, we are pleased to support the next generation of AFL stars,” Mr Joyce said.
Qantas will again donate $50 for every goal scored in all eight matches in Round Nine to The Long Walk Foundation.
The Long Walk Foundation was established by former Essendon player Michael Long in 2004.
Long will again walk from Federation Square in Melbourne to Canberra this year to highlight Indigenous issues and keep them on the national agenda.
