Trivia

It's about each and every club in the Victorian Football League - and about rugby, soccer, and baseball, too."

In the movie's end credits, Bob Davis is misspelt as 'Bob David'

Quotes

You don`t need to like aussie rules but it helps.

A very good if not wholly accurate film about aussie rules football. The characters are in most cases larger than life but are on the whole believable. The backstabbing and wrangling is as you imagine it to be and the dislike of the board by the players is tangible. You will laugh and cry at the antics of the Magpie`s. Watch it, you won`t regret it.
