Well over a century of Australian rules football history but only a handful of men have been involved in over 500 games of VFL/AFL football. The 500 Club covers them in some detail, although I was more interested in the men who played and coached in the "lesser" competitions, like the legendary Fos Williams and Jack Oatey.

NB: The 500 Club is an absolute besser brick of a book, if that's what you're after.

An eclectic collection of recollections and reflections on Sheedy’s own career and the direction of football as of 2001. Sheedy referred to it as a ‘sort of report card for our game’. Topics include his own career and his relationship with legendary administrator at Richmond, Graeme Richmond, the draft and trade week, the voting system for the Brownlow medal, indigenous footballers and his relationship with Michael Long, and finding new markets for the game overseas.

Beautifully presented folio size book containing biographies of VFL and AFL coaches who coached over 500 games. These are Ron Barassi, Tom Hafey, Allan Jeans, Jock McHale, David Parkin and Kevin Sheedy. Other great VFL coaches with less than 500 games, Len and Norm Smith, Alan Killigrew, John Kennedy, Malcolm Blight and Reg Hickey, and coaches in other states such as John Todd, Fos Williams, Neil Kerley, Jack Sheedy, Jack Oatey, and Haydyn Bunton Jnr. are covered in less detail in a separate chapter. There is also a section on the more recent generation of great coaches such as Leigh Matthews, Mick Malthouse and Denis Pagan. A quality book for its written and visual content.… (més)
