Footy Town is a collection of football yarns from around the nation; stories which celebrate footy at its most local: from New Norfolk to the Tiwi Islands, from Rockhampton to Kalgoorlie, from Edwardstown to Fitzroy, and all the way to Mangoplah Cookardinia United. Written with great love (and possible embellishment) by players, has-beens and fans, they tell of footy clubs and the people who have made them, whether in the suburbs or the bush. They paint a vivid picture of footy's wonderful culture; a picture of mud and dust; of Dencorub and the clack of stops; of lumpy back pockets and racehorse half-forwards; of spiralling torps and once-upon-a-time drop kicks; of savs bubbling away forever. This is footy; this is Australia's Game.
