Club, The (1980)
Outside, the fans are cheering the high marks and the low tackles. Inside, the executives are wheeling and dealing, back slapping and back stabbing. From Bruce Beresford, the award winning Director of "Don's Party", "Breaker Morant" and "Puberty Blues", comes David Williamson's "The Club".
When a struggling Aussie rules club buys a talented young football player (John Howard) for a record sum, friction immediately develops between the devoted Coach (Jack Thompson), the insecure Club President (Graham Kennedy), the over-the-hill Captain (Harold Hopkins) and the scheming committee-man (Frank Wilson)...It's tough enough on the football field, but in the boardroom it's a battle ground!
Set in the golden era of the VFL, when teams played for the jumper not the money, the blood rule didn't exist and "Up There Cazaly" was considered by footy fans to be the new national anthem, David Williamson's "The Club" takes you behind-the-scenes of the power struggles at an Aussie rules club stuck at the bottom of the ladder.

Great Macarthy, The (1975)
Macarthy (John Jarratt) is a country town football champ who is kidnapped in a neon lit helicopter by tyrant Colonel Ball-Miller (Barry Humphries), the tycoon President of the South Melbourne football club.

Macarthy leaves behind his humble beginnings for a path of sexcapades, fame and debauchery. He's fit, mean and ready for the big league. Poor kid!

Barry Humphries ("The Adventures of Barry McKenzie") and John Jarratt ("McLeod's Daughters") headline a topnotch cast of well loved Aussie actors (including Max Gillies, Maurie Fields, Bruce Spence, Chris Haywood, Judy Morris and Kate Fitzpatrick) and legendary football personalities (including Lou Richards and Jack Dyer) in this hilarious tale of a young man's life and love of our great Australian game - AUSSIE RULES FOOTBALL.

Year of the Dogs
The people of Footscray are battlers and so is their football team. The 'mighty' Bulldogs haven't won a premiership since 1954. The club is close to broke and the AFL keeps trying to kill them off for the sake of the national competition. Footscray sees it as the big end of town versus the little end of town.

But the people of the western suburbs remain passionate about their footy club.

It is through their heartfelt commitment to the club and 'their boys' that outsiders can experience the emotions that motivate all true sport fans. No matter how the team performs the faithful will not desert the Bulldogs. But this time, maybe this time, the red, white and blue will triumph. And the west will have its day. GO DOGS!
