On the eve of Adelaide's Gather Round, a curious collision of sporting worlds unfolds at the 36ers Arena, where former AFL champions trade the oval for the boxing ring in an event called The Gathering.

It is a moment that asks an old question in a new arena: what remains of an athlete when the game that defined them changes entirely?
