Other Teams
Reading
Adelaide - Xanadu - they came, they were popular, had big name stars but died as quickly as they rose.

Brisbane - The Talented Mr Ripley - Big name stars again, while good, never reached its full potential.

Carlton - Money Talks - enough said.

Collingwood - Titanic - Big Budget, Special effects, helped by a well known blonde, but in the end - SUNK. (footy show magazine, a year or so ago)

Essendon - A league of their own - Top line stars, box office success and a name that speaks for itself.

Fremantle - Wild Things - After their match with the Eagles anyway.

Geelong - Ransom - Year after year, kidnaps its supporters for ransom, however, unlike the movie, they take the money and get away with it.

Hawthorn - Footloose - Big in the 80s, but in the end is just a bunch of pretty boys dancing around.

Melbourne - The Wizard of OZ - re-born after years in the wilderness. Relys on special effects from its resident wizard to send its supporters home happy. - I don't think we're in Brighton anymore Toto.

Kangaroos - The Commitments - After enormous success in their first few gigs, their popularity is starting to 'Wayne'. Cracks are beginning to appear and the 'bell's' may be ringing for the end of the group.

Port Power - 12 Monkeys - Change the name to 40 Monkeys and you might be closer!

Richmond - Scream - Big hype, everyone went to see it, threatened to kill off its stars, but didn't. In the end left their supporters felling rather 'gutted'.

StKilda - A Few Good Men - After years of having a few good men, it looks as though they may finally have a few more good men.

Sydney - Contact - After years of trying, finally have been able to make contact with the aliens. Short term box office success helped by a big name star.

West Coast - Chariots of Fire - Old time champions who keep on bobbing back, year after year. However, despite achieving the Gold in its prime, has started to lose popularity in recent years.

Bulldogs - Sleepers - After years in the wilderness, have finally woken to get their violent revenge. However, despite the bg names, still falls short of the mark.
 
Nicely done !!!!

Very good post Catter.

But I think (unbiasedly) GLADIATOR for the Dons is more apropriate: The blockbuster of 2000, the main character is a guy widely thought dead and buried, comes back to concur all in the "Big House". Good new nickname for Hirdy "The Spaniard" (here we go we'll get the soft bullshit again now)

. Hirdy is available for a sequal however, unlike Russ' character.

Oh and what about "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" for good old Caaarlton?

Hey does anyone know where "York Park" is in Tassy?
