Have you got a young boy, or girl, or know a Hawthorn supporter who is struggling with their reading. The Footy Almanac is perfect to get them on track.
The Footy Almanac 2013 is out now.
The Forewords and Grand Final essays always generate comment. Here’s a list of the writers and their topics.
Historian Steve Alomes urges sports fans to see the big picture and not dismiss International Rules football, after the disappointment of the recent indigenous team tour to Ireland.
Peter Baulderstone offers suggested reading of the best articles from the international sporting web. The title is just bait and switch marketing. This is the sort of stuff that Litza used to write before Rupert’s $ seduced him.
It’s AFL Best and Fairest season, with all but the WA results now in. Sean Curtain gives his take on each of the clubs – what do you reckon? And who do you think will take out the remaining two?
“To the nearest Kentucky Fried Chicken joint my good man, and don’t spare the horses”.
Glen Potter was given a hand-made gift voucher for father’s day, offering the bearer a day out to any country footy league grand final. He and his 10-year-old son chose the Hampden league. All aboard!
The Under 12s are playing footy like their heroes at Fremantle, writes David Whish-Wilson, locking the ball into the forward line with terrific defensive pressure then launching attacks off half-back. It’s a different style to a young Nat Fyfe, taking hangers over his mates when discovered by a talent scout.

Sean Curtain likes thinking out loud. Which is what he does here as he works his way through some complex issues of identity and social interaction. He learns something from an Under 13 footy side.
Former Fitzroy captain and inaugural West Coast coach, Ron Alexander, gives Les Everett an insight into the game plan of Fremantle coach Ross Lyon. It’s not new, says Alexander, but it’s certainly effective.
I wrote my first football story when I was eight. It was my second novel. My first novel was called Wombat because it was about a wombat. My football novel was about our family driving from Shepparton to VFL Park in our Morris 1100, to see Geelong play Footscray, the second game of VFL footy [Read more]
It’s been a huge weekend of sport here in the West. The Force showed the insipid Reds the door. And the Glory and the Wildcats advanced deeper into Finals territory. But of course all that paled compared with the arrival of the CATS on Friday. That’s right the Champion Australian Team of Snorers (CATS) were [Read more]
This is a transcript of a seminar called Force For Good held at the National Museum of Australia. It involved Sean Gorman, Che Cockatoo-Collins, and David Headon. I moderated it. It is conversational and hence may lack a little structure (in its form and in its thinking) but it addresses the elements of the topic. [Read more]
A test of a sporting moment is whether you remember it. By that I mean you don’t half-remember it, but really remember it. Moments which you don’t have to go into the record books to check; moments where the details of time and place are superfluous. Moments so powerful they form the basis for your [Read more]
In 1982, I was in Grade 6 at St. Pius X West Warrnambool and obsessed with the Krakouer brothers. I kept scrapbooks of newspaper clippings that said ‘BLACK MAGIC!’ and ‘KRAKOUER MAGIC!’ I wrote ‘JIM 3 KRAKOUER’ and ‘PHIL 8 KRAKOUER’ all over my books and pencil case. I sat in the filtered sun in [Read more]
