Thumper is the star player of the Wangaroos, the team the Port is playing in the grand final. Blacky fears him because Thumper is a much larger and more aggressive player than he is. Thumper embodies the ideal of toughness that Blacky’s town expects of their young men, an ideal Blacky doesn’t believe he himself can live up to because of his fear. However, Blacky’s accidental tackling of Thumper allows him to win the approval of his town because it makes him look brave and tough.
