Book excerpt: This Sequel is an adjunct to the original Maffra Football Story and focuses on the Rise and Rise of a Gippsland small town club which after 4 decades of obscurity in the football wilderness, has in the new millennium, risen to prominence as a powerhouse in the region.There are references to former illustrious past which will attract the interest of Maffra Eagle supporters and sporting foes like. The newly merged sport of netball is highlighted and granted the attention its competitive success justifies. The author has presented the renaissance of the club as a classic example of social entrepreneurship, whereby hundreds of unpaid helpers have combined to produce significant social and economic benefits for the community. The young sportsmen and women have repaid their community in spades. The well presented honour boards in the appendices are a glowing example of their on-field success.An outstanding characteristic of the success is its underpinning by a junior development program which creates line of graduates from the junior grades who are ready made netballers and footballers. The resort to overpaid. Fly in Fly out footballers is thing of the past at Maffra.There are lessons to be learned from the Maffra phenomenon which would be of interest to the many small town clubs struggling to retain their place in senior leagues around the nation.
Download or read book Aboriginal People and Australian Football in the Nineteenth Century written by Roy Hay and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will revolutionise the history of Indigenous involvement in Australian football in the second half of the nineteenth century. It collects new evidence to show how Aboriginal people saw the cricket and football played by those who had taken their land and resources and forced their way into them in the missions and stations around the peripheries of Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia. They learned the game and brought their own skills to it, eventually winning local leagues and earning the respect of their contemporaries. They were prevented from reaching higher levels by the gatekeepers of the domestic game until late in the twentieth century. Their successors did not come from nowhere.

Download or read book Fabulous Fred written by Paul Amy and published by Melbourne Books. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fred Cook began his football career with Footscray in the VFL. But he really made his name in the game after crossing to Port Melbourne in the VFA. His prodigious goalkicking in the 1970s earned him the nickname of 'Fabulous Fred' and fame at a pop-star level. He appeared on TV, on radio and wrote newspaper columns, and he mixed with Melbourne's sporting and entertainment elite. But he fell in with a criminal crowd, formed a drug habit, lost everything and did three spells in prison. Cook has led a remarkable life, going from hero to zero. He's always wanted to tell his story, which features football, crime and drugs, and the wider issue of sportspeople who struggle with normalcy once their careers have ended. Fred Cook's name still resonates, thirty years after his career ended. Last year he was nominated for the Australian Football Hall of Fame.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Footy Town is a collection of football yarns from around the nation; stories which celebrate footy at its most local: from New Norfolk to the Tiwi Islands, from Rockhampton to Kalgoorlie, from Edwardstown to Fitzroy, and all the way to Mangoplah Cookardinia United.Written with great love (and possible embellishment) by players, has-beens and fans, they tell of footy clubs and the people who have made them, whether in the suburbs or the bush.They paint a vivid picture of footy’s wonderful culture; a picture of mud and dust; of Dencorub and the clack of stops; of lumpy back pockets and racehorse half-forwards; of spiralling torps and once-upon-a-time drop kicks; of savs bubbling away forever.This is footy; this is Australia’s Game.

Book excerpt: In his book on his country travels during the 2019 footy season, Paul Daffey follows several premiership trails and observes the state of many flagpoles. He looks into what makes Nathalia such a strong club. And how Kyabram won so many games in a row. He watches a wet grand final in West Gippsland. He stands in the shadows of a grandstand in Ballarat. In the drizzle of Warrnambool, Daffey spends a day with the legendary coach Adam Dowie. At Sandy Creek, in the state's North East, he listens to tales about a ground that was once called a cow paddock but now looks like a green carpet in a house of hills. "We're on the premiership trail," is a saying that offers a sense of journey. In this, his fifth book on the Australian game, Paul Daffey takes another journey into the soul of country footy. The result is another work of warmth and affection, featuring towering punts and goals on the run. It ripples and flickers like a premiership flag.
