AUSTRALIANA  Australian Rules Football VFL AFL

The Richmond Football Club joined the Victorian Football League 100 years ago, and is today established as one of the “big four” power clubs of the game. The Tigers have enjoyed a rich, colourful century, one that features 10 premierships and has created some genuine legends of football. The voice of this remarkable book is that of the players and coaches themselves; historian Rhett Bartlett (son of club record games holder Kevin) has interviewed more than 50 players, some of whose playing careers date back to the 1920s. From Joe Murdoch to Jack Dyer, Tommy Hafey to Francis Bourke, the politics and glory of a great club are told in a stunning array of first person recollections about a football club and the society in which it evolved.
