'Jaiyana is good at Aussie Rules: she can kick, handball, tackle and ruck with the best of them. But she's ' a she, and a Muslim. There are all sorts of people that seem to think she shouldn't play with the boys on a club team, a 'proper' team. There's her traditional-thinking father, there's a well-meaning but worried coach, and there's the boy who was last season's best and fairest. Somehow, she needs to win them over. And try to make the Grand Final.
'It's a lot of pressure, but like her mum says: 'Just do what you do, Jaiyana.'
'And for Jaiyana, it's not just being the best, but also the fairest.'
