As an American Aussie Rules fan, it has been impossible for me to find books on the game. This look at the more recent history of the Geelong Football Club is a godsend. I loved reading about the downs and then up that the club and the town went through over the years. It is well researched and has many first hand accounts from people involved with the club. As a Collingwood fan, this book made me look at the Geelong club in a different light. Not enough to convince me to change allegiances, for as I say, the only thing worse than changing your club is cheating on your wife, and it's not that much worse.
Five stars
