BETTER TOGETHER

Mental fitness isn't built alone. Neither is lasting change.

A conversation. A shared experience. Someone who reaches out or simply shows up. It all matters.

On their own, these moments might seem small. But together, they have the power to make a real difference.We're Better Together.

This year, Spud's #6 is all about bringing the football community together through the first-ever AFLW-AFL Double Header at Marvel Stadium, and the AFL's only fixture dedicated to mental health.

Show up for our women.
Stay for our men.
Together, for mental health.

GET INVOLVED IN SPUD'S 6

Your donation will create real impact & change

Spud believed the best conversations happened shoulder to shoulder – at training, in the sheds, at the footy. He changed the way we talk about mental health, creating space for conversations that felt real, relatable and safe.

Spud's Game carries that legacy forward. Every dollar you give helps fund mental fitness programs and research through Danny Frawley Community, part of Black Dog Institute, supporting people in the clubs and communities that bring Australians together.

One in five of us will face a mental health challenge this year. Spud would want every one of them to know they've got a team behind them. Because when it comes to mental health, we're better together.

All donations over $2 to the Danny Frawley Community at Black Dog Institute are tax-deductible.
