It’s about fathers. It’s about family. It’s about footy. Stan Williams was never much good at playing the game. But luckily he found something he was good at – supporting. Being there for his team, every Saturday – come wind, rain or hail – shouting out for his boys, the Brunswick Bulldogs. He cheers them on in victory and stands by them in defeat and his life is governed by whether the ‘Doggies’ win or lose. But Stan also has a family. A loyal wife and a son – Ryan. And family isn’t always that simple. Unlike football it doesn’t always stay between the white lines. Three generations of a family and 40 years of Australian history are played out in the shadow of the grandstand of the ‘legendary’ Brunswick Bulldogs Football Club. A play that explores what divides and binds fathers and sons – activism, alcoholism, women and football.
