Heart of The Game (2013)

45 Years of Australian Rules Football on Television

When the last quarter of an Essendon versus Carlton game was broadcast on Easter Sunday in 1957, a new era in television and sport was born. A ride which for 45 years has seen magical moments, controversies, heroes and characters all pass by on our TV screen. Heart of the game is a fun and nostalgic look back at the 45 years of football seen through the camera lens...and from the armchair.
