You have to be born somewhere, and John Harms was born in Chinchilla, Qld-a place with no connection whatsoever to Australian Rules football except for the fanatical devotion of the entire Harms family. Exiles in a land of rugby, outcasts among football heathens-providentially, they also believed in a just and merciful God so there was something to fall back on.
LOOSE MEN EVERYWHERE
takes us back, in hilarious Harms style, to an earlier but not necessarily gentler era. To World of Sport and Scanlen's footy cards; to Oakey Under-12s, the worst team ever to strap on footy boots; to the 1989 grand final when the dream of a Geelong premiership was just one straight kick away. And to a lifetime of valiant hopes, plunging disappointments and third-quarter fightbacks: the lot of the true believers.
