  • Larrikins&Legends
    MEDIA RELEASE TheLarrikins&Legends untold story of Carlton’s greatest era By Dan Eddy ON SALE: 26 MAY 2017 They were a bunch of larrikins who became a team of legends. Between 1979 and 1982 the Blues won three premierships, and were rated one of the greatest teams of all time. Yet their remarkable feats have long been overlooked when discussion arises as to the best teams in AFL history. Not anymore. In Larrikins & Legends, characters such as Peter ‘Percy’ Jones, Wayne ‘The Dominator’ Johnston, Peter ‘The Buzz’ Bosustow, Warren ‘Wow’ Jones, and the king of them all, Alex ‘Jezza’ Jesaulenko, are brought to life like never before. They mingled with Prime Ministers, were entertained by American-style dancing girls, broke bones, survived political upheaval, and drank plenty of amber liquid. But above all, they were mates, on and off the field, and remain so to this day. They were certainly a ragtag bunch of men and they partied hard. But boy, could they play footy. In fact, over a four-year period, the team fielded by Carlton would win three premierships— winning 76 of 98 matches for a winning percentage of 78 per cent—a feat which should surely rank alongside the achievements of modern- day powerhouses, the Brisbane Lions (2001-2004), Geelong (2007-2011) and Hawthorn (2012-2015). Remarkably, despite such outstanding successes, the Boys in Blue, as coach David Parkin noted with his usual enthusiasm, are seldom mentioned when debate rages over who is the greatest football team in VFL/AFL history. Why is this side, which includes such stars as Mike Fitzpatrick, Rod Ashman, Peter Bosustow, Jim Buckley, Bruce Doull, Wayne Harmes, Ken Hunter, Wayne Johnston, Percy Jones, Mark Maclure, David McKay, Ken Sheldon, Geoff Southby and, of course, Alex Jesaulenko, not included in the debate? Through one-on-one interviews, exhaustive archival research, and his art as a storyteller, author Dan Eddy has now brought their deeds to life.

Are these not performances that eclipse those of the mighty Barassi-coached Carlton teams of 1968 and 1970, and that of the Nicholls-led heroes of 1972? Yet the sides of the Jesaulenko-Parkin era are rarely compared with Barassi’s teams, or those of Hawthorn and even Essendon of that period. Dan Eddy has sought to make these great sides live again for the Carlton fans, recapturing the excitement of the Mosquito Fleet, ‘Swan’ McKay’s high marking, Geoff Southby’s long spiral punts from the goal square, Wayne Harmes’ freakish skill and strength, the magic half-forward line of Wayne Johnston, Mark Maclure and Peter Bosustow, the courage of Ken Hunter, the football genius of the enigmatic Bruce Doull and in 1979, the aging authority of Jezza and Perc Jones.

Over this decade 277 individuals have entered our Hall of Fame ‘club’ as inductees. We have elevated 40 of these men to Legend status and further elevated just 14 to become Icons of Tasmanian Football.

    MEDIA RELEASE Larrikins & Legends The untold story of Carlton’s greatest era By Dan Eddy ON SALE: 26 MAY 2017 TITLE DESCRIPTION They were a bunch of larrikins who became a team of legends. Between 1979 and 1982 the Blues won three premierships, and were rated one of the greatest teams of all time. Yet their remarkable feats have long been overlooked when discussion arises as to the best teams in AFL history. Not anymore. In Larrikins & Legends, characters such as Peter ‘Percy’ Jones, Wayne ‘The Dominator’ Johnston, Peter ‘The Buzz’ Bosustow, Warren ‘Wow’ Jones, and the king of them all, Alex ‘Jezza’ Jesaulenko, are brought to life like never before. They mingled with Prime Ministers, were entertained by American-style dancing girls, broke bones, survived political upheaval, and drank plenty of amber liquid. But above all, they were mates, on and off the field, and remain so to this day. They were certainly a ragtag bunch of men and they partied hard. But boy, could they play footy. In fact, over a four- year period, the team fielded by Carlton would win three premierships—winning 76 of 98 matches for a winning percentage of 78 per cent—a feat which should surely rank alongside the achievements of modern-day powerhouses, the Brisbane Lions (2001-2004), Geelong (2007-2011) and Hawthorn (2012-2015). Remarkably, despite such outstanding successes, the Boys in Blue, as coach David Parkin noted with his usual enthusiasm, are seldom mentioned when debate rages over who is the greatest football team in VFL/AFL history. Why is this side, which includes such stars as Mike Fitzpatrick, Rod Ashman, Peter Bosustow, Jim Buckley, Bruce Doull, Wayne Harmes, Ken Hunter, Wayne Johnston, Percy Jones, Mark Maclure, David McKay, Ken Sheldon, Geoff Southby and, of course, Alex Jesaulenko, not included in the debate? Through one-on-one interviews, exhaustive archival research, and his art as a storyteller, author Dan Eddy has now brought their deeds to life.
