- TriviaFormer Collingwood Football Club captain and footy commentator Lou Richards, who appears in this film, once said of this movie: "'The Club' is about the hangers-on, the end of loyalty, the coming of professionalism, big business, and transfer fees. It's about each and every club in the Victorian Football League - and about rugby, soccer, and baseball, too."

Featured review
This is simply a great Aussie film. Unfortunately, films are just not made this way anymore. Not only is it a great satire about a football club, which has probably not changed in 30 years, it is also a wonderful commentary on the commercialization of sport. Comparisons to sport and war are easy after seeing this film. Great performances from Jack Thompson, John Howard and Graham Kennedy as well as cameos from a few of Australia's footballing legends. Bruce Beresford's direction is superb, the theme song became legend and the film is one hilarious argument. It gets better every time you watch it and if you haven't seen it yet, you have to see it soon.
