On 6 June 2003, after a long rehabilitation process, McCartney successfully returned to action for the Kangaroos in the Round 11 (Queen's Birthday) match against Richmond in front of 43,200 people at Docklands Stadium (Telstra Dome then, now Marvel Stadium), and the match – featuring the two Victorian teams in the top 8 (in finals position) heading into the round – functioned as another memorial to those lost during the bombings. McCartney, who was wearing compression garments and wore protective gloves, wore the numbers "88" and "202" on the front of his long-sleeved guernsey, signifying the Australian and total numbers of victims, while many in the crowd held up signs saying "Bali 88/202". Other Australian victims were honored in a video shown on the stadium's video screens before the game, and representatives from five Australian rules football clubs who lost players in the attacks were presented to the crowd. Retired Melbourne player Steven Febey and young Demon Steven Armstrong, who suffered shrapnel injuries in the blast, also attended the match.
