New Releases (1) 2018

The AFL Season Record for 2018 is now available. This publication has expanded in size enormously over the years. This years edition comprises 1248 pages. The thickness of the pages is quite thin, almost like a telephone book which makes the publication still quite compact. There is a greatly expanded section covering the AFL Women's competition which is very welcome and apt. The total number of statistical sections has expanded yet again which is hard to believe given the voluminous scope of this work. For stats nerds like me this is a delight and the division of sections is clear and well thought out but it would no doubt overwhelm some. But there are other more concise season guides available in print and online so I am pleased that this statistical bible is still being published for the stats and records tragics like me.
Published by Slattery Media, and widely available in newsagents and bookstores.

Also fairly new and worth a look are:

The Footy Lady: The Trailblazing Story of Suan Alberti by Stephanie Asher. Published by Melbourne University Press.

Fabulous Phil: The Phil Carman Story by Matt Watson. The biography of the truly mercurial and gifted Collingwood star of the 1970s, who played with a string of clubs but whose greatest exploits were with Collingwood. Published by Brolga Publishing.

Cazaly: The Legend,  by Robert Allen. A work many years in the making but worth the wait. A definitive, meticulous and fascinating study of one of the legendary figures in Australian football. Also available from Slattery Media and many bookstores.
