The junior Aussie Rules side played an exhibition match against the Port Macquarie Magpies.
Dockers coach Mark Plummer said it was great for the children to play in front of a building crowd and prior to an important rugby league match on the Macleay calendar.
Plummer intends to contact North Coast AFL to attempt to have a regular season fixture held ahead of the Marlins and Magpies match next season.
It’s an exciting week for the Dockers club as they have junior players between the ages of six and nine attending the Sydney Swans and Gold Coast Suns match at the Sydney Cricket Ground this Saturday and they will take the field for a match at halftime.
