The book is fast-paced and very informative. I really like that fact that it is so easy to understand even for someone who did not come from Australia and only had basic understanding of recent events in Australian history. I now understand Australian politics much better after reading this book. Highly-recommended

Not sure what I was expecting but this was not it.

But worth reading none the less.

Australian politics is sure challenged at the moment.

Fairly interesting history of Australian rules football, intertwined with personal reminiscences and culminating in a retelling of the on- and off-field buildup to the Tigers' 2017 premiership. The title is misleading, though; the political parallels are fairly tenuous, and the book doesn't mount any kind of argument until the (brief) conclusion, which itself doesn't go much further than the obvious platitudes about the failings of 21st-century political leadership.
