Australian Football League

There’s nothing quite like Australian Football, and while you’re not watching it, playing it, or talking about it, reading about it is the next best thing. From autobiographies and biographies about specific players, to AFL books about your favourite team or a spectacular season, Booktopia is proud to provide such a wide selection of titles to fans everywhere.

The best AFL books of all time
There are plenty of fantastic AFL books that will have you cracking up as you read, will inform you about the other side of the game you might not be familiar with, or will help you to better understand the backgrounds and motivations of your favourite players.

The Game is one such book. This is a collection of the best AFL stories of all time, which features contributions from a number of award-winning authors. It’s also edited by Dennis Cometti, a household name in Australian sportscasting.

Another best-seller is Roughy, the autobiography of Jarryd Roughead. It is of course about his time as an AFL star, but it’s also about his battle with melanoma, his dedication to getting back into the sport, and his resilience. That’s why this title is not just one of the best AFL books of recent years, but one that anyone can enjoy.

If you’re unsure where to start, try sorting by Bestsellers to see what’s popular right now.

Signed AFL books
Sharp-eyed online shoppers may also spot the occasional signed AFL book. We receive limited numbers of autobiographies that have been signed by the players themselves, so don’t hesitate if there’s a copy you have your eye on.

These make for the ultimate gift for any AFL fan, so check back regularly as you never know what might pop up just in time for a special birthday or Christmas.

Keep an eye out for the ‘Signed Copy’ banner across our AFL books to pick up something truly special for yourself or a loved one.
