Does anyone have this book - Ossie Rules by Richard Osborne?

:D
That doesn't surprise me. Michael Hyde has been a friend of mine for over 50 years and is an extremely nice bloke. If I had seen your post when you originally posted it I would have contacted Michael for you.

Stremski's book was the first academic history of a VFL/AFL club and probably still the best (and not just because it is the history of the best club)
And 50 years is a long time. Is that you digger?

Well I finally found a copy.

In fairly good condition too. And the best surprise of all was that it's signed inside the cover by Ossie himself.
