If anyone hasn't been to the clubs museum and are wondering what The Spirit container looks like

Finished it last night. A great read I thought.

One thing that wasn't really covered though (unless I missed it!) was the coach selection process - Ayers to Bomber and then Bomber to Scott.

Speaking of Bomber...he comes across as one strange dude! Loved by the players, but weird.
Riding along the Southbank on a Coaster bike on Brownlow night is weird?:p
 
John Button the former Labor senator and Industry Minister?
Yep. I think Blight joked once about how he hadn't realised part of the Geelong job was receiving regular instructions from a cabinet minister.

Also James was Rudd's speechwriter for a while IIRC

Indeed he was and European correspondent for The Age for a while. I loved the bit in the book about how he was concerned about how his father used to stare at Gary Ablett's thighs just a little bit too long.

Well worth the effort, have read The Mission, Greatness and from Good to Great but this gives a lot more of the back story of the clubs history and explains a bit as to why we were in the position we were in when Cookie arrived
