Walyalup (Fremantle) Dockers superstar Michael Walters to guest edit The West *********** sport

He’s one of the best Indigenous players in the AFL — and among the most acclaimed Dockers ever — and now Michael Walters can add Sports Editor of The West *********** to his CV.

The Walyalup (Fremantle) veteran will on Friday sit in the big chair and take over the sport section of Saturday’s newspaper in celebration of the league’s Sir Doug Nicholls round, which recognises the contribution of First Nations People to the nation’s favourite game.

“I’m really looking forward to seeing how the paper is put together and being on the other side of the media,” the 34-year-old said.

“It’s a great opportunity for me and good timing being Sir Doug Nicholls round. Readers should expect some fantastic Dockers coverage that is more positive than ever.”

The AFL runs the special round across two weeks each year, with the 2025 theme being “past legacies, future legends.”

Walters — who has 239 games, All-*********** honours and five Fremantle leading goal-kicker awards to his name — will sit the rounds out as he continues to recover from a knee injury that has sidelined him from the entire season.

The Dockers, known as Walyalup, will take on GWS on Saturday, with Waalitj Marawar (West Coast) facing Euro-Yroke (St Kilda) at Optus Stadium on Sunday.
