Earlier this year we sat down with Geoff Slattery to talk about publishing football books, reporting on the footy and the best way to tell the history of the game.
It was a great chat, and great for us to meet the man responsible for publishing so many of the books that we use in our research.
Check out the collection of books available here - https://books.slatterymedia.com/

The 1931 season saw a few major changes come into effect across the league, the most interesting one being the Page McIntyre finals system….finally. There was also an amendment to the Brownlow voting. And the introduction of the 3-2-1 season that we now know. Could Collingwood pull off the impossible and win 5 premierships in a row? Could the Blues or the Tigers finally overcome a faltering Collingwood, or would a new coach help Geelong over the machine. Plus Haydn Bunton finally pulls on the boots, Hackenschmidt closes the curtain on an amazing VFL run, and Footscray push for an improbable finals run.

Collingwood were able to equal Carlton’s record of 3 in a row the previous year, so 1930 would be their opportunity to make history. The depression was really hitting the country hard and supporters looked more than ever to their sporting heroes for a distractions from the hardships of everyday life. Checker Hughes at Richmond and Dan Minouge at Carlton were coming for Jock McHale's team, along with everyone else who wanted to knock off the machine.
Now we are in the 1930’s we begin to mention several big names, who will later be hall of fame legends.
Add to that The VFL had to work out what do to with a 3 way tie in the Brownlow, all make for a very interesting year.

On the 1929 Episode, the Collingwood machine chugs along, more finely tuned than either of the previous 2 seasons. Richmond, smarting from the last 2 grand final loses, plot their downfall. Carlton think they have the right coach to give them an edge, and StKilda begin to make a move towards the finals as well. New grandstands are opened, record goals are kicked and the league loses another historical figure.

Collingwood come into this new season riding the success of their first flag in 8 years, which is a big relief to the club, yet through the adversity of the 1928 season they search for more success.
Finally one of the new teams finishes above the bottom three, but which one…..
StKilda bring in an old favorite to hopefully bring their team some success.
Plus we give Kaz more suggestions to see if anyone can usurp the McKraken name award from Jazzlegs Gambetta. All that and more….

With Melbourne claiming their first flag since 1900, expectations for the 1927 season were high. However, if you think expectations at Melbourne were high, Collingwood had lost the last 2 grand finals, the fans were busting down the door for a premiership, their drought now going back to 1919. Richmond were ready to start roaring again with a strong list and "Checker" Huges in charge. Carlton, no longer wanted to sing to be out of finals. North were looking for their first win in well over a year. There was optimism at Fitzroy with some new recruits bought in. We also introduce a new segment lead by the Kazman.

After the first season with 12 teams, and Geelong claiming their first premiership, Collingwood came out, determined to make amends for their previous Grand Final disappointments and go 1 better. The three new teams looked to improve on their previous years lowly achievements. South Melbourne leave their run to the finals late, and set up a final round showdown with a desperate Essendon. Geelong look to go back to back, and Melbourne, after several years of strong recruiting, continue to rise up the ladder. We also discuss what we could do to possibly replace Crapp watch?
