Storyville - 1998x06 - Year of the Dogs- Followmy.tv

The Storyville season of international documentaries continues with director Michael Cordell's film about an Australian-rules football team's struggle to triumph over adversity. The Footscray Bulldogs, whose ground is based in a rundown Melbourne suburb, have the odds stacked against them in several ways. Their difficulties -they last won a tournament in 1954, have injury problems and a chronic scoring record, and are facing near-bankruptcy- are compounded by the threat of a takeover which could see them merged with another team.
