Australia's most remote footy league returns after tackling violent behaviour

ABC  

As thousands flock to the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the AFL finals, 2,000 kilometres away players are preparing for a football experience with a difference. You can't get any more remote than here in the APY Lands," Mimili Football Club captain Zibeon Fielding said. "We make sure all our players are fed so they can play strong and hard tomorrow," Mr Campbell said, wrapping a kangaroo tail up in foil before burying it under red-hot coals. "The competition was founded in 2006 as part of the Petrol Sniffing Strategy to counteract a lot of the behaviour that was going on there across the whole APY Lands," he said. "We learn from our elders and pass on to our young ones, it's the same thing but just footy," Mr Campbell said.
