In 2015, they played their first game. In years to come, they could become stars. But first they had to be drafted to a club. Every year, hundreds of boys are put through their paces at AFL draft camps, training sessions, under-18 competitions and school footy matches. They all hope they will end the year signed to an AFL team. Meanwhile, clubs are making brutal calls on which young players will take them up the ladder. Too many bad recruiting decisions could set them back years. Emma Quayle, senior football writer for The Age and an expert on talent identification, tracks these five boys through 2014 – the year they nominate for the AFL's national draft. We meet their coaches and families. We ride the bumps and share the triumphs. With exclusive behind-the-scenes access to recruiters at St Kilda Football Club as they decide on their 2014 draft picks, Emma sheds light on what it takes to become an AFL footballer. For Jake, Pete, Isaac, Tom and Clem, hearing their name called out on draft day is just the beginning of their football story. But it takes a lot to get to that start line.

Book excerpt: Lots of boys dream of playing footy for an AFL team but only a few will make it. In 2007, in their final year of junior football, five boys joined the 1200 who nominated for the draft. They were put through their paces: gruelling physical trials and psychological tests, on top of Year 12 exams and dealing with injuries. Trent Cotchin and Cyril Rioli are AFL stars, but back then, they had no idea which clubs would draft them. Ben McEvoy is now the St Kilda ruckman and has experience the pain of losing a grand final while Brad Ebert made the big decision to be traded from a team on its way up the ladder to be closer to his family in Adelaide. Patrick Veszpremi was a happy-go-lucky kid, excited about moving to Sydney. Now he knows how hard you have to work to really make the grade. Emma Quayle - senior football writer with The Age and talent identification expert - followed these five then-unknown boys In their draft year. This is a wart-and-all account of what the boys went through, and an insight into Hawthorn's draft strategy that won them the flag in 2008.

Book excerpt: In 1967, when Jerry Kramer was a thirty-one-year-old Green Bay Packers offensive lineman, in his tenth year with the team, he decided to keep a diary of the season. “Perhaps, by setting down my daily thoughts and observations,” he wrote, “I’ll be able to understand precisely what it is that draws me back to professional football.” Working with the renowned journalist Dick Schaap, Kramer recorded his day-to-day experiences as a player with perception, honesty, humor, and startling sensitivity. Little did Kramer know that the 1967 season would be one of the most remarkable in the history of pro football, culminating with the legendary championship game against Dallas now known as the “Ice Bowl,” in which Kramer would play a central role. Nor could he have anticipated that his diary would evolve into a book titled Instant Replay, first published in 1968, that would become a multimillion-copy bestseller and be celebrated by reviewers everywhere, including the Washington Post’s Jonathan Yardley, who calls it “to this day, the best inside account of pro football, indeed the best book ever written about that sport and that league.” This groundbreaking look inside the world of professional football is one of the first books ever to take readers into the locker room and reveal the inner workings of a professional sports franchise. From training camp, through the historic Ice Bowl, then into the locker room of Super Bowl II, Kramer provides a captivating player’s perspective on pro football when the game was all blood, grit, and tears. He also offers a rare and insightful view of the team’s storied leader, Coach Vince Lombardi. Bringing the book back into print for the first time in more than a decade, this new edition of Instant Replay retains the classic look of the original and includes a foreword by Jonathan Yardley and additional rarely seen photos from the celebrated “Lombardi era.” As vivid and engaging as it was when it was first published, Instant Replay is an irreplaceable reminder of the glory days of pro football.

Book excerpt: ‘The latest in the series of powerful books on the divisions in modern Britain, and will take its place on many bookshelves beside Reni Eddo-Lodge’s Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race and Owen Jones’s Chavs.’ –Andrew Marr, Sunday Times ‘In his fascinating, enraging polemic, Verkaik touches on one of the strangest aspects of the elite schools and their product’s domination of public life for two and a half centuries: the acquiescence of everyone else.’ –Observer In Britain today, the government, judiciary and military are all led by an elite who attended private school. Under their watch, our society has become increasingly divided and the gap between rich and poor is now greater than ever before. Is this the country we want to live in? If we care about inequality, we have to talk about public schools. Robert Verkaik issues a searing indictment of the system originally intended to educate the most underprivileged Britons, and outlines how, through meaningful reform, we can finally make society fairer for all.

Book excerpt: Remember the AFL features an unprecedented season-by-season, team-by-team history of the league that lasted from 1960 to 1969. Through in-depth research, dozens of player interviews, and hundreds of photos, including many classic football cards, this book brings that unique era in professional football to life. It’s all here, from the behind-the-scenes stories of the early days, when the league struggled for survival, through Super Bowl III, when "Broadway” Joe Namath guaranteed -- and delivered -- a victory against the NFL’s Baltimore Colts. Fans will also relive the history of the AFL by engaging the challenge of over 500 trivia questions. This is pure 1960s nostalgia for football fans old and young.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sports Law looks at major court cases, statutes, and regulations that explore a variety of legal issues in the sports industry. The early chapters provide an overview of sports law in general terms and explore its impact on race, politics, religion, and everyday affairs. Later chapters address hot button issues such as gender equity, drug testing, and discrimination. Written from a sport management perspective, rather than from a lawyer’s, this text covers all the major areas presented in sports law today including: cases relating to torts, contracts, intellectual property, and agents. Factual scenarios throughout the text allow students to critically examine and apply sport management principles to legal issues facing the sports executive.
