Two clubs that hated yet respected each other, the Hawthorn and Essendon rivalry of the 1980's is the stuff of footy legend. The last teams to clash in three consecutive Grand Finals ('83-'85), the Bombers were desperate to avenge a humiliating record loss in the 1983 flag decider when they came up against the Hawks a year later.
The story is as imposing as the man himself. the 16 year old kid from Ballarat who has become the most talked about AFL footballer of his time.
Has there ever been a more awesome or imposing footballer than Tony Lockett? Modern football historians would probably say no, for Lockett is peerless, unstoppable and wonderfully skilled.
At least DO SOMETHING! Don't think, DO!... These are the famous words of Hawthorn coach John Kennedy during half time of this epic 1975 encounter between Hawthorn and North Melbourne. Not only did Ron Barassi's Kangaroos have to contend with the powerhouse of Hawthorn but also a legacy of failure within, as this was a club that had never won a single Premiership in its history.
For the first time a non-Victorian team lined up in the season decider determined to end the reign of one of the greatest sides in history. Too old? Too slow? The flag-festooned Hawks were out to prove the old dog still had enough bite to silence the young upstart Eagles from the west.
THE SAINTS FROM 1897 TO 2003 St Kilda – the name alone brings to mind the very passion of the game. This is a club that has tasted just a brief touch of heaven and more than its fair share of hell. From the glory of that famous 1966 premiership through to years in turmoil, Heaven and Hell traces the story of one of the AFL’s great football clubs. On field heroes, off field battles. The great players like Baldock, Stewart, Ditterich, Smith, Barker, Lockett and Harvey playing against a backdrop of political tension. Originally released in 1997, this is an updated version produced for DVD. It now contains Harvey’s Brownlows, the 1997 finals campaign and the coaching crisis that saw Stan Alves, Tim Watson and Malcolm Blight leave the club.
Seven successive Grand Finals, four premierships and a string of champion players.
"Kick it to the boundary line". These are the famous words of Ted Whitten in the commentary box late in the last quarter of the 1966 Grand Final between St Kilda and Collingwood, This was the classic battle between the powerhouse of Collingwood and its rich successful history against a club riddled with failure who had never tasted Premiership success. With only one point separating the teams at the final siren - it is still to this day one of the all-time great football stories,
September 30, 1981 - the day generally regarded as the greatest day in VFL/AFL Grand Final history. On this day no word other than 'epic' accurately describes the encounter between Geelong and Hawthorn. '1989' The Final Story has been produced to appeal to all football lovers no matter who they support, with its portrayal of the impact - both positive and negative - on the lives of all those directly involved.
Hawthorn aiming at back to back Premierships for the first time, Geelong under Malcolm Blight looking for it's first Premiership since the days of Polly Farmer in 1963. This is the story of the battle for the 1989 Premiership by the men who played such a major role. The behind the scenes story of one of the best footy matches ever played.
It is said that Robert Harvey is the hardest running man in AFL football. A ruck-rover with a work ethic that defies belief.

The Pulse of the Atlantic Forest
Documentary filmmaker Simone de Vries follows Rutger Hauer around his homes in Hollywood and Friesland, the Netherlands as well as several movie sets around the world.
Musamoni Panigrahi (1920s–2017), fondly called “Nani Ma” by her neighbours, appears in the centre of this first film in the Baleswari dialect of India's Odia language. The story revolves around folklore and folk songs narrated by Nani Ma. Born in the 1920s in pre-independent rural India in a coastal village in the Balasore district of Odisha, she never got to go beyond the first few days of school. The film is an alternate history of a society broken through colonization, Brahminical patriarchy and a post-famine (Orissa famine of 1866, killing nearly 5 million people, one-third of the population), and the dominance of formal writing over spoken tongues. Three academics -- Damayanti Beshra, PhD (recipient of India’s fourth civilian award, “Padma Shri”), Panchanan Mohanty, PhD (noted linguist), and Laxmikanta Tripathy, PhD, DLitt (anthropologist and author) -- also appear in the film to provide contextual commentary on patriarchy, oral history and the sociolinguistic diversity.
