Faith and Australian Rules football -- for Bachar Houli, there is no separating the two.
It is a time to reflect that comes at a crucial point in the AFL season.
Houli must abstain from food and liquids for around 12 hours each day during Ramadan.
He says training during the winter means staying hydrated is not a major concern.
And he says his diet is rather minimal.
Houli says, as Ramadan progresses, his stomach begins to shrink.
He moves to eating two meals before going to bed.
He says the changes do not affect his performance on match day.
Houli will also attend iftar, or after-sunset, dinners across the country.
It is all geared towards improving cross-cultural insights.
