The Slattery Media Group (AFL Publishing) The Norm Smith Medal: The Players who delivered
Book SynopsisThe Norm Smith Medal, inaugurated in 1979 and awarded to the best player on AFL Grand Final day, is one of footballs highest honours. In this unprecedented survey of the players who strode onto the MCG and dominated the games most important day, Dan Eddy captures some of footys most memorable feats in the words of the men whose brilliance turned the contest. Now, for the first time, football lovers will be taken on a thrilling journey, from each medallists early days in football, right up until the moment he stood on the presentation dais soaking up the roar of the crowd. Riding every bump, celebrating each goal, and savouring in the unforgettable atmosphere of the day, readers will gain fresh and often surprising insights into classic Grand Final performances of the modern era. Named for the towering figure of the Melbourne Football Club -- a man who played in four Premierships for the Demons and led them to six more in the space of a decade, as the games most revered and influential coach -- the Norm Smith Medal has for five decades honoured the best of the best: the player who performed most brilliantly when the pressure was greatest: on that final Saturday in September. Unlike the Brownlow, the Norm Smith Medal is voted by members of the media, with a different panel appointed each year. From Wayne Harmess unforgettable, team-lifting display in 1979, through Gary Ayress brave, narrow-eyed brilliance in Hawthorns swaggering 1980s sides, right up to Dustin Martins flawless, unprecedented finale to the 2017 season, The Norm Smith Medal is a fascinating account of the games greatest individual performances.

The Slattery Media Group (AFL Publishing) The Thing About Football: The Songs of Greg
Book SynopsisNot many football identities can lay claim to the beloved stature enjoyed by Greg Champion without lacing up the boots or stepping into the commentary booth, but the Coodabeens star has spent decades delighting fans with the songs that comprise The Thing About Football: The Songs of Greg Champion. Since his Coodabeens debut in 1983, Champs has written thousands of football and cricket-themed songs that have become part of the Australian sporting vernacular, and for the first time their lyrics are collected in one place. From Dermott Brereton is a Hood and I Am Diperdomenico to Theres Only One Tony Lockett and Tony Modras Gone Surfing, Champions ditties and parodies have become favourite singalongs, harking back to simpler times when a lukewarm pie and a tattered beanie were all that footy fans needed for a day in the outer. After 36 years on the ABC airwaves, Champs has also toured the country constantly since he first came to national prominence with his 1986 single, I made a hundred in the backyard at Mums. In 1995, the Seven Network adopted his fan favourite, Thats the thing about football, as its theme tune for AFL broadcasts, and the song became became ubiquitous. Though many of the lyrics in this anthology will be familiar to lovers of Champions songs, the stories behind them might not. It is safe to say that Mrs Brereton wasnt entirely pleased with Champions take on her famous son. Other Champion targets can only smile and laugh. As Hawthorn legend Robert Dipper DiPierdomenico puts it: Greg Champions ditties have put fun into footy. Of course, I gave him a huge kick start with I am DiP-ier-dom-en-ico!

HarperCollins Publishers OUTCASTS UNITED A Refugee Team an American Town
Book SynopsisThe incredible true story of a a football team in the United States made up of refugee children.Trade Review‘Remarkable … Like all good books about sport, this is about much more than sport …This is a marvellous story, all the more moving for being written straight by a talented reporter.’ Mike Atherton, The Times ‘“Outcasts United” succeeds so emphatically because, just as the Fugees are so much more than a football team, this is much more than a sports book … a dense and unjudgmental portrait of America in the 21st century (and a vital primer to African and colonial history in the last one).’ Tim Lewis, Observer ‘Mufleh – a heady mixture of Brian Clough, Alex Ferguson and Martin Luther King – has wrought an astonishing transformation in the boys and their families, becoming not just a coach but a surrogate parent and stand-in social worker. St John’s expertly told account has been described as “heartwarming”, as if Mufleh has solved all the problems of multiculturalism at a stroke. Not yet, she hasn’t, but she has proved the truth of another football cliché: sometimes it is, indeed, more than just another game.’ Chris Maume, Independent

Hopkins Fulfillment Service College Football History Spectacle Controversy
Book SynopsisUltimately, however, Watterson concludes that the history of college football is one in which the rules of the game have changed, but those of human nature have not.Trade ReviewWatterson provides a broad overview of the rise, demise, and rise again of college football over the past century... His coverage of the facts-the scandals, the commissions, committees, and conferences-is not likely to be surpassed, either in depth of detail or sharpness of analysis. Kirkus Reviews Carefully researched and thoroughly documented...
