The Club is a play written by David Williamson and is on AFL. The play covers many different aspects of sport for instance:
- violence toward women e.g. Ted hitting the stripper and Jock hitting his wife
- buying new players
- attitudes towards drugs e.g. Geoff and marijuana
- Money problems e.g. Ted going bankrupt because of his pie factory going bust
In my view I believe that The Club is a good book to study as it gives you an idea about what happens in real life it also shows what viewpoint the author has toward AFL.

This is a great summary – although better to comment on money in sport – ie the resentment the other players feel toward Geoff due to the money paid ‘for him’.
Also remember these blogs are to practice your writing / reflective skills more that summarising…
