In 1967 a group of Victorian AFL (VFL) stars jetted off to challenge the All-Ireland champions, County Meath, at their own game. The players were, and are, household names – Barassi, Skilton, Jesaulenko, Davis, Hart, Nicholls, Mann, Dugdale, Fraser. Most didn’t own passports. Most had barely been out of Victoria. Ex-umpire and media juggernaut Harry Beitzel was the man who made it happen. He mortgaged his house. He organised the opponent. He flew his team of champions on a milk run to Darwin, Hong Kong, Paris, Dublin, London, New York and beyond to plant the seed of international competition. The Galahs is a rare feature film that reconnects fans with all time greats of both VFL and GAA football.

The great Hungarian striker Ferenc Puskas storied playing and coaching career ended in the relative backwater of Middle Park in Melbourne, coaching a South Melbourne Hellas team captained by current Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou. A sporting story of a humble, football colossus in soccer's new world, full of quirky anecdotes and a ripping championship finale. And also a story of Australia's ethnic football heritage, and how it sustained new arrivals.
