The first time was Australian Rules Football and the second was Wheelchair Curling.

Meet Shawn “Boomer” Sadowski. Boomer found footy when he was 19. He was a troubled youth and footy kept him off the street and gave him his first group of mates.

That Was the Season That Was 2021

The beauty and the tyranny of playing a game with an oblong ball is that you never know how it’s gonna bounce.

Sometimes, it goes the way you want it to, leading to a magnificent goal or continuing a long thrilling run down the wing to set up a teammate.

Other times, however, it bounds away into nothing, causing absolute chaos in the process.
