Grand finals – regardless of the level – generate unmatched emotion.

The passion is equal, perhaps greater, than that seen on the final Saturday in September on the MCG. Famous Flags: Great Local Grand finals is a collection of stories from around Victoria, told by those experienced the highs and lows. As shared in this book, the memories from those games last a lifetime.

About the Author

Toby Prime covered local football at mastheads around Victoria, including with the Geelong Advertiser, Leader and Sunraysia Daily. He grew up on a dairy farm 15 minutes north of Colac in south-west Victoria. His only experience kicking a Sherrin was around the sodden paddocks.

But it was a career in sports journalism that always appealed. He has used his many media and football contacts to help compile compelling narratives in this immersive collection of grassroots tales, from the 1990 Ovens & Murray 'Bloodbath', to Kinglake's inspiring run to the grand final in the same year Black Saturday razed the town and Gary Moorcroft's 2013 hanger - just like his 2001 Mark of the Year - which sparked an epic Bundoora comeback. Famous Flags: Great Local Grand finals is his first book. Toby is married with two daughters and lives on the Bellarine Peninsula with the family's much-loved Golden Retriever.
