Publishers Description: In a characteristically sweeping and entertaining story, George Megalogenis reveals how football has been shaped by the nation that invented it and how the game we love, in turn, might help resolve Australias political impasse. A sport unlike any other in the world, football has always been Australias bellwether. But at a time when politics is increasingly conducted like sports full of one-eyed tribalism, captains calls and policy dictated by the Newspoll scoreboard football is the one institution thats more relevant than ever. And its Richmond thats out in front of the pack. Before the club could break its premiership drought, it had to change how it thought about good leadership. By weaving together the games conflicted history, a sharp-eyed analysis of Richmonds off-field turbulence and his own love of the Tigers, Megalogenis reveals how Richmond found a new way to win and how, following the 2019 election, Australia might do the same.
