most welcome

Just out of interest, how many of those books do you have/have you read?

Plugger and the Mighty Swans
Roos: Beyond 300
Lockett Ironbark Legend, I've only flicked through this. I don't own it, but my friend has a signed copy and he's a tigers supporter.
SwanSong: PK
The Encyclopedia, Must admit though I haven't read all of it.
Shake down the Thunder
Bloodbath. I really enjoyed this one. Fantastic read. (PS. it is signed by Barrasi)
I own Tadhg's book, but have only read the first chapter or so.
Micky O. Currently reading, when I have spare reading time.

Thanks, Scott and goswannies!

Personally: I've read SwanSong, Shake Down The Thunder and Sport is Life, Life is Sport.

I have an old copy of Plugger and the Mighty Swans sitting on a bookshelf at home which I haven't read yet.

Fool Forward is a fun read that takes all of 45 minutes. Wiz doesn't take himself too seriously (well, I hope he didn't!).

Martin Blake just confirmed with me on Twitter that his new book is called Rising Bloods and due out in August.

What's it about?

[Triple B]

Wasnt that only because you'd bookmarked him as a swan...?

Touche

In my defence, in the book in question he does mention the Hawthorn approach and offer....

I was BBB long before Barry Hall moved to Sydney...

Always thinking ahead

Maybe a name change is warranted - Big Bad Bustling Butting (Barry Hall)

Though this would require you to become Quadruple B

I emailed them to you, but I'm not sure the pictures got attached. Can you please let me know? Cheers

Yeah, he didn't outright bag anybody, BUT, there were a lot of "I take full responsibility, but....." in the book. He never sold me that he did take full responsibility at all...

Is any of the Swans stuff positive? Much as I appreciate BBB's contributions he can be a big bad sook as well.

I recall there was a fair bit of positive stuff. Maybe not at the end of his time there tho ... understandably from his perspective
