The East Melbourne Crows are a football team that hasn't had much success. They haven't won a premiership in 30 years. Their players are not much good and they need to find some new talent. President JJ Forbes sends his assistant Wally out into the country to find some new players. Unfortunately Wally doesn't manage to find anyone, but on the way back to the city his car breaks down near the farm of Achilles Jones - a typical country farmer who likes the farm work, has no real interest in the outside world but he has the ability to drop kick full wheat bags across the shed with his bare feet. JJ and Wally manage to bring him to Melbourne when the real fun begins..... Written by Timelord See less
