Description
A celebration of Aussie Rules on the big screen never before collected on DVD!
Films Include
THE CLUB (1980):
It's tough enough on the Australian Rules Football field, but in the boardroom it's a battle ground! In this club nobody plays by the rules. The Club is the quintessential Aussie Rules Football film, blending comedy, satire and the backroom intrigue surrounding the country's most hated (and loved) football club. Starring
Jack Thompson and
Graham Kennedy.
THE GREAT MCARTHY (1975):
He's Footy's Most Forward Full Forward! This bawdy Oz comedy classic follows the exploits of McCarthy (
John Jarratt), a country town football champ who leaves behind his humble beginnings for a path of sexcapades, fame and debauchery.
YEAR OF THE DOGS (1997):
This defining football documentary follows the high drama and tragedy surrounding the struggling Footscray football club. The 'mighty' Bulldogs are broke, and haven't won a premiership since 1954, but that hasn't dinted the passion of the clubs undying fans.
Also includes:
WAR WITHOUT WEAPONS (1976):
A rare and unseen documentary following North Melbourne's 1976 season under "Supercoach" Ron Barassi.
