The birth of the game we know as Australian Rules took place through the middle months of 1858. Produced to mark the 150th anniversary of this event, The Australian Game Of Football will serve as a definitive resource, encapsulating not just the complete history of the game, but everything it means to play, support and nurture the world’s first codified game of football.
The Australian Game of Football will provide a complete account of the game’s haphazard early years and bring to life the influential figures who not only had the vision for a game of our own, but the passion and commitment to drive its growth.
“This book has been constructed not as a homage to the greats of our game – although they are well defined in Mike Sheahan’s all-time Top 50 – but as a celebration of all that makes up Australian Football.” – Andrew Demetriou, CEO, Australian Football League.
The Australian Game of Football will be the leading publishing event in the Australian book industry in 2008 and will be retailed across the country from March 9, 2008. The book will also be the single largest retail and licensing program for the AFL in 2008 and will be heavily supported by the 150th year celebration activity.
