The book explores the intersection between the Great War and patriotism through an examination of the effects of both on Australia’s most popular football code. The work is chronological, and therefore provides an easy path by which events may be followed. Ultimately it seeks to shine a light on and provide considerable detail to a much-ignored period in Australian Rules football history, including women’s football history, that was subject to much upheaval and which reflected considerable social and class divisions in society at the time. One hundred years on, the Australian Football League presents past soldier footballers as unequivocal representatives of a unifying national ‘Anzac’ spirit. That is far from the reality of football’s First World War experience.

The inspirational story of the past, present and future of Australian women's football - its players, fans, and the game they love. Australian women's football rides high on the sporting landscape now, but this book shows that success has been one-hundred years in the making. It shares stories of triumph in the face of overwhelming odds, and tales of heartbreak and obstacles that seem insurmountable. But it is also about community, endurance and collective success. Eye-opening and celebratory, it tells the story of amateur women kicking a ball around a century ago to Australia's national team being one of the best in the world. The Matildas are forty years old and no longer have to wear hand-me-down men's kits, pay for their own medical insurance and do it all for love not money. But there have been no free kicks along the way as they have faced prejudice and even outright hostility. Never Say Die takes in dusty archives, rainy pitch-side evenings and heart-breaking and heart-warming interviews -- including with FIFA and FFA board members, Matildas past and present, W-League coaches and players, state and club administrators. But at its heart are fans from every level of the game who could not love it more.

The story of the Noble Park Football Club since its formation in 1919 - a club that was founded during a global pandemic and entered its second century during another global pandemic. It's a story of how a football club formed in a 'backwater' town labelled 'Struggletown' in its early years rose to be one of the most successful clubs in Australia. It's also the story of the indomitable spirit of its people through adversity and countless challenges.
For almost 100 years, the AFL competition has been deemed to start in 1897, the year in which eight clubs seceded from the Victorian Football Association to form the Victorian Football League. This revision of history ignores the years between 1870 and 1896 when 11 of today's AFL clubs not only participated in the VFA competition but won every premiership! Author Colin Carter's extensive research makes it crystal clear that the VFL's founders, the VFL clubs, as well as journalists and commentators of the time, agreed 1870 to be their competition's inaugural season. These forgotten years need to be reclaimed because a lot of important football history has been ignored or misplaced. Football's Forgotten Years outlines why these foundation years must be included in the AFL competition's history, and the champions and administrators who set up the game in those years be recognised for their pioneering achievements. This book is an important document in the never-ending history of Australian football, and, in particular, its formative years in Victoria.nt in the never-ending history of Australian football, and, in particular, its formative years in Victoria.nt in the never-ending history of Australian football, and, in particular, its formative years in Victoria.nt in the never-ending history of Australian football, and, in particular, its formative years in Victoria.
