At a price all can afford, this book offers a comprehensive explanation of the fundamentals of Australian football. It is addressed primarily at the aspiring schoolboy footballer, but the champion players who have written each chapter have done such a splendid job many seniors also will benefit from reading it. No punches have been pulled, no important aspect of the game neglected. The text is backed by a superb series of photographs on how to handball, how to mark, how to tackle and how each type of kick is executed. All the major Rules States are represented in the book, which carries chapters on how to play every position on the field, and includes absorbing discussions on the tactics of a unique game.
"As a basic coaching manual for young footballers, and as an entertainment, this book succeeds admirably.
