In the Spotlight
The End of the Game by Michael Fiddian is our first novel especially for young adults. It traverses a week in the life of young footy players who make the grand final of their local competition in a fictional Victorian country town for the first time in 25 years; and the impact of casual and systemic racism on individuals, the team and the town. From our Popcorn Press imprint.

Quote, Unquote - My Top 100 Football Stories
Author: Philip Micallef
A trip down memory lane.
Journalist Philip Micallef has written on football (soccer) in Australia for more than 30 years. Now retired, this is a personally curated anthology of his top 100 football stories ranging from the Socceroos, the global game, the A-League, the big-name interviews, the ‘Socceroos Greats’, obituaries and the administration.
It is a potted and subjective history of the game - by no means complete - as seen by someone who in many ways was an ultimate 'insider' as a journalist, but who never lost touch with his love of the game as a fan.
