At this year's Australian Women's AFL grand final, a record was set.
For the first time, an African Australian woman played at the nation's highest level.
What's more remarkable is that last year was the first time Susan Chuot had even played Aussie rules football in a season - and it was in a men's side.
For most of her life, soccer was Susan Chuot's passion.
Then, one day in year 11, the Sudanese refugee tried a different shaped ball.
She was good at and it sparked an interest, but it would be two years until the 20 year old joined an Australian Rules football team.
She played a season with the Edmund Rice Centre's multicultural football team last year.
It was actually a men's side - and she became the captain.
"It was cool because I kicked the first goal of our team's season so it was really good. The boys were like 'wow, she can kick!' and I was like 'oh, it's just like soccer, just kick the ball and run, I guess'. But, yeah, it felt great."
This year, Susan Chuot has moved on from playing with the boys to playing at the highest level, becoming the first African woman to play AFL.
The ruckman was selected to play in the West Australian women's team and took part in the national competition held in Cairns making it to the finals against Victoria, the reigning champions.
"I was really shocked. They were so good. Some girls were just so skillful and the talent that is out there is just amazing and you just have to be there to believe it. So it was just full on AFL. The AFL you see on TV that the men play is the similar AFL that the girls play so it's really good."
Unfortunately for W-A,Victoria was really good.
They claimed the grand final with a 37-point win.
Back in Perth, Susan Chuot's regular team is the Mt Lawley Hawks.
Assistant coach Bronte Ryan says they're glad she chose them.
"She's excellent. She's a consummate professional I would say. She's always rocking up to training. She's always having a laugh with the girls as well, keeping it light-hearted, but she's been a really welcome addition to our football club this year."
Bronte Ryan says the girls tried to dub her Nic Nat, after star West Coast Eagles ruckman Nic Naitanui, who is of Fijian descent and one of Susan's favourite players, but the nickname didn't take.
"Her ruck taps are always very strong and aggressive, and through those ruck taps, she's definitely good with the break through. She's a run and carry kind of player so her bouncing and her kicking when she gets going, she's unstoppable."
Another first in Susan Chuot's life has been returning to her country of birth - now South Sudan.
She left when she was a baby and spent 12 years in a Kenyan refugee camp, finally finding refuge in Western Australia eight years ago.
So when the West Coast Eagles fan went back to South Sudan, she brought an egg-shaped Australian rules football with her to the soccer-mad country.
"But they wanted a soccer ball more, but I was 'no, we're playing footy', but it's a bunch of Sudanese boys so it was sort of difficult, but they got a kick so that was the main thing."
