The Sunday Mail 24.2.02 Review by Jessica Hurt. Die-hard Aussie Rules fans will love Matt Byrne’s hilarious “four-man footy riot” Barrackers. It’s fast and furious fun as director/writer/actor Byrne takes perennial wooden spooners the Fernwood Ferrets through the highs and lows of a single do-or-die match. In a series of lightning-fast scene changes, his four-man team switches roles from beer-swilling yobbos to umbrella-waving grannies, know-all commentators, pom-pom throwing cheerleaders and snobby members. Joined by Chris Kendall, Glenn Butcher and Glen Christie, Byrne leads from the front. An up-beat soundtrack and slick choreography help build a match atmosphere. The Bottom Line: Fast, furious and fun dig at a slice of Aussie life.
