Book Synopsis Collingwood at Victoria Park by : Glenn McFarlane
Download or read book Collingwood at Victoria Park written by Glenn McFarlane and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Farewell, Victoria Park. For more than 100 years, this was the place Collingwood called home. Victoria Park, in working class, semi-industrial, inner-suburban Melbourne, was where the club played its first ever game way back in 1892. It's where legends were built and famous victories fashioned. Even now, it remains one of the most famous of all football grounds. Victoria Park's special atmosphere came from its historic roots and the black and white army of fanatical and one-eyed supporters who filled the grandstands and terraces. As a venue it was worshipped by the faithful and feared by opponents; a visiting coach once said you had not made it in football until you had succeeded against Collingwood at Victoria Park. This book commemorates 112 years of Victoria Park memories - tracing the ground's development and recalling the many magic moments and champions who graced the turf along the way. This revised edition also includes photos and recollections from the emotional day late in 1999 when we said goodbye to the ground, the pre-Grand Final training sessions of 2002 and 2003, and finally the move to the Lexus Centre in 2004.

Book Synopsis The Last Quarter by : Martin Flanagan
Download or read book The Last Quarter written by Martin Flanagan and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Flanagan has been writing about Australian football for 25 years. The Last Quarter brings together three of his books that sum up that period. In 1970 he re-created the grand final of that year, said to be the best of the 20th century, by talking to the players, coaches and umpire. Southern Sky, Western Oval, written in 1993, portrays the events of a season set against the backdrop of a club, Footscray (now the Western Bulldogs), fighting to survive. The Game In Time of War, which starts with the first game after 9/11 and ends with the first game after the invasion of Iraq, describes an unnerving period in Australian history through the eyes of a man who distracts himself by watching football. The collection ends with an essay about the controversy that marked the AFL's 150th year and Flanagan's part in it, titled: Tom Wills: Confessions of a Ghost Writer.
Download or read book Tiger Time written by PEGGY O'NEILL and published by . This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richmond's 2017 AFL premiership proved that truth is indeed stranger than fiction. The club finished a dismal 13th in 2016, and only the most blindly optimistic member of the Tiger Army would have believed Richmond were set to break a 37-year flag drought. Yet that was exactly how this gloriously unpredictable season played out. The suburb formally known as Struggletown rejoiced to that famous club song: "YELLOW AND BLACK!" Thanks to midfield superstar Dustin Martin's record-breaking, Brownlow Medal-winning season, the manic brilliance brought to the table by Jack Riewoldt's 'mosquito fleet' of tenacious small forwards, disciplined and versatile team defence following the lead of Alex Rance, and the rebirth of captain Trent Cotchin as a smiling, content and ultimately inspirational leader, the Tigers were simply irresistible come September. Tiger Time tells the story-through stunning images taken by AFL Media's photographers-of a campaign during which Richmond coach Damien Hardwick stood in front of his loveable and committed group of players and asked one simple question: "Why not us?" Tracking the highs, lows and thrilling conclusion of Richmond's dream run to the Premiership dais, Tiger Time captures the defining moments of the Tiger renaissance. Running the gamut from tear-stained struggle to fist-pumping joy, it shows that football miracles really do happen after all-even in Tigerland. A must-have for all Richmond fans, Tiger Time, a Slattery Media publication, under licence from the AFL, will be published in November 2017 at a RRP of $39.95.

Download or read book Carn written by Andrew Mueller and published by HarperCollins Australia. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 807 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been histories of Australian football before. There has not been one like Carn. Carn tells the story of the Victorian Football League and its successor, the Australian Football League, from 1897 to the present day, by focusing on 50 of the thousands of games which have been played down the decades. Some of these matches have been significant to the game of Australian football; others have been significant to Australia as a whole. Carn recognises that while the game is only a game, it has also always been much more than that: anything which consumes so much of the nation's attention can't help but reflect something of the nation's character. Carn is a book replete, as the Australian game is, with great yarns and extraordinary people. It is a book for fans of Australian football, and fans of Australia.

Book Synopsis Black and Proud by : Matthew Klugman
Download or read book Black and Proud written by Matthew Klugman and published by . This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when racial abuse was entrenched in Australian sport but rarely discussed, and indigenous AFL players still received regular death threats, Nicky Winmar was photographed lifting his jumper and pointing with pride to the colour of his skin--an image that changed the nation. Controversy erupted, race and football dominated public debate and the AFL announced that racial abuse was reportable, setting the scene for the first ever sporting racial vilification laws. Once 'part of the game', racial abuse by AFL players and spectators became socially unacceptable. Yet the enduring appeal of this image also lies in the continued racism and discrimination faced by Australia's indigenous peoples, who endure appalling rates of disease and crime, life expectancies 20 years below non-indigenous Australians, ongoing struggles for social and cultural recognition, and controversial government policing strategies and welfare interventions. On what is now the 20th anniversary of this image, Black and Proud (working title) traces a story of triumph and enduring social and cultural loss.
Download or read book Comeback written by James Button and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-29 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a boy, James Button fell in love with the Geelong Football Club. It was a family affair. But as the years wore on and the defeats and disappointments mounted, it became clear to him: his team would never win a flag. This book tells the story of his glorious mistake. Writing as a reporter, not primarily as a fan, James interviews hundreds of people to tell the story of how one organisation changed its culture, on and off the field. He relates not only the fortunes of the team over fifty years but of the town with which it is so closely entwined. And he tries to explain why so many of us, whoever we barrack for, are gripped by an unreasonable passion for football.
Download or read book The Secret Race written by Tyler Hamilton and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2012-09-05 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The holy grail for disillusioned cycling fans . . . The book’s power is in the collective details, all strung together in a story that is told with such clear-eyed conviction that you never doubt its veracity. . . . The Secret Race isn’t just a game changer for the Lance Armstrong myth. It’s the game ender.”—Outside NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • WINNER OF THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD The Secret Race is the book that rocked the world of professional cycling—and exposed, at long last, the doping culture surrounding the sport and its most iconic rider, Lance Armstrong. Former Olympic gold medalist Tyler Hamilton was once one of the world’s top-ranked cyclists—and a member of Lance Armstrong’s inner circle. Over the course of two years, New York Times bestselling author Daniel Coyle conducted more than two hundred hours of interviews with Hamilton and spoke with numerous teammates, rivals, and friends. The result is an explosive page-turner of a book that takes us deep inside a shadowy, fascinating, and surreal world of unscrupulous doctors, anything-goes team directors, and athletes so relentlessly driven to win that they would do almost anything to gain an edge. For the first time, Hamilton recounts his own battle with depression and tells the story of his complicated relationship with Lance Armstrong. This edition features a new Afterword, in which the authors reflect on the developments within the sport, and involving Armstrong, over the past year. The Secret Race is a courageous, groundbreaking act of witness from a man who is as determined to reveal the hard truth about his sport as he once was to win the Tour de France. With a new Afterword by the authors. “Loaded with bombshells and revelations.”—VeloNews “[An] often harrowing story . . . the broadest, most accessible look at cycling’s drug problems to date.”—The New York Times “ ‘If I cheated, how did I get away with it?’ That question, posed to SI by Lance Armstrong five years ago, has never been answered more definitively than it is in Tyler Hamilton’s new book.”—Sports Illustrated “Explosive.”—The Daily Telegraph (London)
