119 minutes of Aussie Rules chaos, blood feuds, and footy folklore that'll convert even the sceptics.
Based on the book published the same year, 100 Years of Australian Football explores the 100 year past of Australia's national game. Covering the history of the Victorian/Australian Football League covering the period 1897 to 1996, the documentary is an exhilarating chronicle, including lively reporting and analysis of the big issues and stirring accounts of the legendary players, teams and coaches.
Acting
Jack Dyer spinning yarns like he's at the pub.
Production
Rare footage that belongs in a national archive.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kevin Sheedy filmed his segments while still coaching Essendon, making this essentially paid content before paid content existed.
Released during the AFL's national expansion push, this documentary functioned as soft propaganda for a sport still fighting to be 'Australia's game' beyond Victoria.
