It’s a GOAL!
A rush of adrenaline courses through me as I jump in the air in celebration. This is big – my first goal in the AFLW. I’ve achieved my dream!
My teammates gather around to celebrate. I can hear my family cheering from the crowd.
I’m Krstel Petrevski and the dream I had to play professional Aussie Rules footy since I was a kid in outback Halls Creek has finally come true.
Let me tell you the story of how I got here – about my mates, my family, growing up in the Kimberley on a huge station with motorbikes, horses, swimming holes, playing footy and going to boarding school far away from home.
A footy adventure story based on Krstel Petrevski’s life by award-winning authors Carl Merrison and Hakea Hustler.
