Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Australian Rules is a 2002 sports drama directed by Paul Goldman.The tiny, fictional Australian town of Prospect Bay has only its "Tidiest Town in Australia" award to be proud of. This changes when their team unexpectedly makes it into the finals of the local championship, largely thanks to the 16-year-old Aboriginal Dumby Red and his white best friend Gary Black. While the first half of the film is a more-or-less typical sporting underdog story, things get interesting after the match, when Dumbo is denied recognition for his skills because of their racist coach, re-igniting the tensions between the town’s white and Aboriginal community. Meanwhile, Gary begins to form a secret relationship with Dumby’s sister Clarence.The film was adapted from the novel Deadly, Unna and received generally positive reviews.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Abusive Parents: Bob Black, Gary’s father, is a violent, sneering man who despises his wife’s weakness and finds his son’s fondness for reading to be unworthy of a real man. He gets worse after shooting Dumby, and his wife is powerless to stop him.

Bestiality Is Depraved: Pickles insults a player from the other team like this, in order to provide psychological pressure. This backfires when the stronger player ends up beating him up instead.
