The reason for the decision? Well it’s not a simple one line explanation. To understand why Cyril walked away, you need to listen to the story of Cyril’s life and what being free really means to him.

On October 12, 2002, the Sari Club in Bali was ripped apart by a terrorist attack. AFL footballer Jason McCartney was in the club at the time.

From a young man growing up dreaming of playing League footy, to lying in a hospital bed fighting for his life, this is a story of tragedy, courage and iron will.

Jason's return match became so much more to Australia than a game of footy. It became a symbol of hope, healing and some rare light in what had been such a dark time for so many Australians and their families.
