listened to it on Audible.
A fortunate life. Pretty amazing life for a kid who didn't go to school and had it really hard growing up

Anyone read Pissants by former Swans player Brandon Jack yet?

https://www.simonandschuster.com.au/boo ... 1761633072

"Trainspotting gets munted with A Visit from the Goon Squad in Ted Lasso’s Front Bar in this brutally hilarious, unhinged and at times surprisingly moving insider’s glimpse into one anonymous footy club – and what might happen behind the headlines, off the field and out of sight."

I'd be interested in a few opinions from some actual footy fans rather than from newspaper arts journos.

I've just finished it, actually. It's pretty good, I enjoyed it, although the format of the book takes a bit of getting used to.

Chops and changes in style to suit who's perspective it's told from.

Only 18 bucks at Big W so it's not a huge outlay

There is a bit of a Trainspotting vibe to it, it's pretty loose at times.
