$29.99 AUD

Category: Sport

The captain of the Australian team: a batsman on the way to being the greatest of all time. The star of the English team: an all-rounder breaking record after record. Both disgraced in enormous scandals of very different kinds. Both attempting a path to personal and professional redemption, through Worl d Cups and county games. All culminating in a meeting of cricket's biggest rivalry: the 2019 Ashes. It was always going to be a summer to remember. The follow-up to Geoff Lemon's multi-award-winning Steve Smith's Men is an equally insightful, thrilling and sharply observed take on the cricketing world, with a cast of finely drawn characters, vivid backdrops and a series of incredible events, both on and off the field. ...Show more

The Hard Way The Story of Richmond's 13th Premiership by Konrad Marshall

$24.99 AUD

Category: Sport

The Hard Way recounts Richmond football club's journey to the 2020 ALF Grand Final. In this thrilling account, Konrad Marshall reconstructs an unprecedented season of footy and the team that came to shine through it all.  The 2020 AFL season was a season like no other, and the challenges faced by the p remier team, due to the restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic, were substantial. Richmond, the reigning premier, started the season slowly, were then relocated to a Gold Coast hub for 111 days, faced internal issues throughout, and came into the Grand Final against Geelong the hard way, after losing the qualifying final to Brisbane. Including a foreward from Richmond president, Peggy O'Neal, The Hard Way tells this amazing story and reveals Richmond's game plan - a playing system that is based as much on chaos as clockwork - in intricate detail. Konrad not only covers the club's journey to their final's campaign but also the adjustments made to move to Queensland, life in the hub, their relationship with their fans and the public, and of course, the Dustin Martin effect.    If they weren't convinced already, this book will show all footy fans just how Richmond truly embodies the old sports saying: A champion team will always beat a team of champions. ...Show more

Golden Daze (Australian Surfing Then to Now) by Sean Doherty

$45.00 AUD

Category: Sport

Australia's best surf writer brings to life the wild, bold, brave story of Australian surfing from the 60s to the present through the stories of Surfing Australia's Hall of Fame surfers and contemporary surfing legends. Golden Daze is a compelling memoir of Australian surfing through a year in the life of Australia's top surfers. Starting in 1963, renowned surfing journalist Sean Doherty charts the history of surfing through the stories of Surfing Australia's Hall of Fame inductees. Taking a year and a surfer at a time, he will reveal what they did, where they surfed and their life events in fascinating depth and detail. Illustrated with unpublished images from the surfers' private collections, these stories also give a vivid sense of the shifting world around them, particularly in the ever-changing realm of surfing. Golden Daze opens in 1963 with Peter Troy jumping ship in Melbourne with a surfboard under his arm, embarking on his fabled surfing odyssey that saw him introducing surfing to Brazil, being crowned European champion, hitching alone across the Kalahari Desert and watching an unknown band from Liverpool called the Beatles. 1964 is Midget Farrelly's story of winning the first world title on home sand at Manly Beach. In 1969 Wayne Lynch goes down the coast, avoiding the Vietnam draft. And in 1971, Alby Falzon stumbles upon the island of Bali while shooting his humble surf movie Morning of the Earth. The book brings to life the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and noughties through the eyes of the Australian surfers who defined them best, ending today with stories of potential Hall of Famers, contemporary stars like Mick Fanning, Joel Parkinson and Tyler Wright. Part journal, part biography, part surf culture memoir, Golden Daze gives a fascinating insight into Australian surfing and what makes it so unique. ...Show more
