Marn Grook (also spelt marngrook), literally meaning "Game ball", is a collective name given to a number of traditional Indigenous Australian recreational pastimes believed to have been played at gatherings and celebrations of up to 50 players. It is often confused with a separate indigenous game resembling Association Football known as Woggabaliri. Woggabaliri is recognised by the Australian Sports Commission as the earliest depicted indigenous ball game and is believed to be the subject of William Blandowski's engraving "never let the ball hit the ground" (see picture on right).

Generally speaking observers commented that Marn Grook was a football game which featured Punt kicking and catching a stuffed "ball". It involved large numbers of players, and games were played over an extremely large area. Totemic teams may have been formed, however to observers the game appeared to lack a team objective, having no real rules, scoring or winner. Individual players who consistently exhibited outstanding skills, such as leaping high over others to catch the ball, were often commented on.

Dan Sultan is an Australian singer and songwriter. Sultan plays what he calls country soul rock ‘n’ roll.

Daniel Leo Sultan was born in 1983 and grew up in the inner suburbs of Melbourne. His father was Irish and his mother, Roslyn Sultan, was Aboriginal from the Arrernte and Gurindji people. Sultan's father, a lawyer, worked for the Aboriginal Legal Service and as a result the family also lived in Yuendumu (300 kilometres north-west of Alice Springs) in the Tanami Desert, as well as Cairns in Queensland. He started playing guitar aged four and wrote his first song at ten.

With Scott Wilson he has released an album called Homemade Biscuits with the help of John Butler’s Seed program. Sultan won the Single Release of The Year at the 2007 Deadly Awards for his song "Your Love is Like a Song".

His second album, Get Out While You Can, was released in November 2009. It reached #1 on the independent Australian charts and was a Triple J feature album.

His band is made up of Wilson (vocals and guitar), Joshua Jones (bass), Peter Marin (drums), Gina Woods (keyboards), Steven Veale (horns) and Ben Veale (horns).

Primarily a small forward, Rioli also spends time in the midfield, being 1.77 m (5 ft 10 in) tall and weighing 80 kilograms (180 lb).

He moved to Darwin and began playing for the St Marys Football Club and then at age 14, moved to Melbourne to pursue a career in the AFL—boarding at and playing for Scotch College. Rioli emerged as a standout performer in the 2007 AFL national under 18 championships, earning himself selection in the U/18 All-Australian team. On the back of this success, Rioli was selected at pick number 12 in the 2007 AFL Draft by the Hawthorn Hawks.

Rioli made his AFL debut in Hawthorn's defeat of the Melbourne Football Club at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in round one 2008. He built a reputation around his ability to chase and pressure the opposition as they attempted to rebound from the forward line. In round six, he was nominated for the AFL Rising Star Award, after his display against Richmond, in which he received a nomination for Goal of the Year. Rioli appeared in every game in his debut season, including an inspirational performance in Hawthorn's defeat of Geelong in the 2008 AFL Grand Final. He was rewarded for his impressive debut season with a sixth place finish in Hawthorn's Peter Crimmins Medal (Best and fairest award) and second overall in the AFL Rising Star Award.
