First published in 1973, this year-by-year account traces the history and origins of the club from 1869 through to the 1996 AFL premiership season. The text concentrates mainly on descriptions of the on-field action. Events such as the administrative revitalisation of the club in the 1970s are covered, but not in great detail. Dowling has included biographical portraits of all great figures in the club's history, with a good statistics and records section. The volume is also amply illustrated with high quality pictures
