With the help of the sympathetic Uploots, the human population associated with the Caxton Valley Australian Football League manage to escape the war torn planet of Greshloot 7, thanks to a diversion created by stars from the Australian soap ‘A Country Practice.’ As they return to Earth through a portal to the township of Mutton Gully, they find that they are unable to play their finals series due to current pandemic restrictions in Victoria. However, by utilising the time portals, they discover that they can play the games in historical times & places that are unaffected by strict, but necessary heath based, behavioural rules.
