'Pride reminds me of the old country days where you played rough
and lived rough too. Unlike any other Aussie Rules story, Pride is
a hard tackle with an underlying twist that will leave readers
wide-eyed, and asking for justice from the barriers. A must-read
for all who love a good ol' game of footy and believe in the
unbelievable.' - Kathrine 'Kat' Clarke Writer, Artist, Cultural
Advisor
