Richmonds 2017 AFL premiership proved that truth is indeed stranger than fiction. The club finished a dismal 13th in 2016, and only the most blindly optimistic member of the Tiger Army would have believed Richmond were set to break a 37-year flag drought. Yet that was exactly how this gloriously unpredictable season played out. The suburb formally known as Struggletown rejoiced to that famous club song: YELLOW AND BLACK! Thanks to midfield superstar Dustin Martins record-breaking, Brownlow Medal-winning season, the manic brilliance brought to the table by Jack Riewoldts mosquito fleet of tenacious small forwards, disciplined and versatile team defence following the lead of Alex Rance, and the rebirth of captain Trent Cotchin as a smiling, content and ultimately inspirational leader, the Tigers were simply irresistible come September. Tiger Time tells the storythrough stunning images taken by AFL Medias photographersof a campaign during which Richmond coach Damien Hardwick stood in front of his loveable and committed group of players and asked one simple question: Why not us? Tracking the highs, lows and thrilling conclusion of Richmonds dream run to the Premiership dais, Tiger Time captures the defining moments of the Tiger renaissance. Running the gamut from tear-stained struggle to fist-pumping joy, it shows that football miracles really do happen after alleven in Tigerland.

In Dan Liebkes debut cricket book, The Instant Cricket Library, youll find excerpts from a number of remarkable cricket books, none of which youve ever read before. Theres I, Pad, Shane Watsons infamous manifesto arguing that the LBW Law should be abolished. Theres Out of My Ed, in which youll discover the truth about the real Ed Cowan. Theres a Banner-Man comic book, a Mitch Marsh play, and much more. Theyre all part of the Instant Cricket Library. Imagine a world after a complete societal collapse. A big collapse, like Australia on a raging Chennai turner. In this dystopian future, all of the worlds cricket books have been destroyed. Nothing remains, not even the Steve Waugh autobiographies, which were previously believed to be impervious not just to casual readers, but to all known forms of physical damage. And yet, a hardy group of researchers search desperately for hints of what might have been lost. A title here. A snippet of text there. A tattered cover somewhere else. They gather all the clues theyve discovered of the lost world of cricketing literature, and enter them into a hastily constructed supercomputer. Finally, with a burst of makeshift artificial intelligence, they extrapolate from those fragments and regenerate a complete cricket library in an instant. This instant cricket library is a marvel of resourcefulness, and a glorious tribute to the ingenuity and determination of humanity, even when faced with the most nightmarish and cricketless of futures. Just because a cricket book never existed doesn''t mean it''s not worth reading.
