Year of the Dogs

1997, 86 minutes, Rated M

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!
