Bobsta, General Junior, Apples, Gorby and Ant all play for, would die for, their coach The General and the Cutting Cove Currawongs. It’s an amateur AFL team in a town where the population is 4,000, and everyone is an active club member.

There’s a couple of young Aboriginal players from out of town who the General’s just signed. With gun players like Sonny and Jayma now on the ground, the Currawongs are in the running for the flag.

But The Currawongs may have invited a reckoning bigger than they, the game, Cutting Cove or anyone saw coming.
