About this product
Product Information
From the Introduction: As these thirty seven contributions about the most heartfelt moments in VFL/AFL demonstrate, Aussie Rules football cuts across all divides. Hence this book of original essays includes contributions by and about football players, supporters and administrators who are vastly different in religion, class, income, ethnicity, gender, race and sexual preference. The contributors within range from com-mitted Christians such as Cardinal George Pell, Geraldine Doogue, and John Birt to devout atheists and like myself, Dick Whitaker and Barry Dickins. Indeed unbeliev-ers and clerics of all persuasions often highlight Aussie Rules. Hence the retired Roman Catholic Archbishop of Perth, Barry Hickey, regularly told this story: An AFL umpire died and found himself at the Pearly Gates. When he related what he had done on Earth, the Saint replied: 'Well we can skip Purgatory, you've done eugh as a football umpire, but is there anything weighing on your conscience that you need to admit before we consider letting you in?' And the umpire said: 'There was this match, Collingwood versus St Kilda, Magpies ahead by three points, and the St Kilda full-forward went for a mark right in front of goal. The sun was in my eyes and I couldn't be sure whether he made it or t, but I gave him the mark and he scored and St Kilda won.' 'Think thing of it, my son, come right in'. 'Oh thank you, thank you Saint Peter' said the umpire. 'I'm t Saint Peter' replied the saint, 'I'm Saint Kilda'.
