What a great initiative and that's coming from a bloke who plays in this league and have been for 10 years now 104 consecutive games in a row it can be attributed to my remarkable fitness and attitude at training and on the field it started to pay off this year on the footy field thank you F.I.D.A

What a fantastic organization FIDA is for young adults with a disability who have a passion for the game of football. Perhaps all AFL teams should show this great film to their players!!!! Congratulations to all the wonderful volunteers who help make this possible..

Amazing. It Literally Struck A Chord And Brought Tears To My Eyes From Start To Finish.
