When the Australian Women's Football League launched this year, it was widely viewed as an important milestone in Australian sport. But women's football as a queer space is one aspect of the game that gets less attention.

Producer Bec Zajac wanted to tell the story of this part of the game but because the AFLW is so new, Bec decided her best bet was to talk to women who’ve been there from the beginning, women at the Victorian Women’s Football League, where women’s footy in Australia began and where most of the AFLW players are recruited from and play in the off season- which is on right now.

Here’s Bec off to training with the MUGARS, one of the country’s top teams.
