This book explores the toll the whole supplements saga took on Essendon fans. And their ability to remain loyal to the club through such trying times.

Pencil O'Reilly
Sean O'Reilly is in his final year at Bunnalong High School where he captains the football team.

The Coach
The ultimate inside story about football. In 1977, writer John Powers was a fly on the wall at the North Melbourne Football Club when revered coach Ron Barassi was in control. The book that emerged from that season, 'The Coach', recorded the months of often brutal training leading up to the spine-tingling Grand Final draw between North Melbourne and Collingwood, and on to North Melbourne's ultimate victory. Nominated as 'the bible on motivation' by 'The Age' newspaper, this account of the team's massive commitment and Barassi's extraordinary motivation techniques is as relevant and fascinating today as it was in 1978. Republished nearly three decades on, with Ron Barassi's own reflections on that amazing season and a new introduction by John Powers.
