“Paul Daffey’s 2019 book The Totem Poles of Ouyen United: Travels in Country Footy marks a return to his original reportage days in which he hit the road with a notebook and a pen with the aim of teasing out stories that bring to life the significant part that country footy plays in Australian life.” (PD Footy)
The book will be launched tonight by former Richmond great and current GWS football manager, Wayne Campbell.
Wayne has written an excellent foreword for the book. He mentions the player he most admired when he was a boy in Ouyen, the teenaged TGP star Trevor Poole, who will also be at the Melbourne launch.
Should be a ripper launch!
