Football players lined up ready to train, it is night-time. Non-Indigenous player Brad Taaffe speaks of three generations of his family growing up with Aboriginal people. Brad’s wife is Aboriginal, and Taaffe talks about the absence of racism. Chris ‘Offo’ Sait tells his players not to be put off by any racist tactics the other team might use to put them off their game. The Panthers beat the Coogee Dolphins who beat them in the previous year’s grand final. Sait doing the teams uniforms, and getting ready for the next weekend’s game.
