"There's Bucks standing at the front of his men - strong and controlled. Burnsie behind him then Rocca and Licca! I feel the lump start to swell and know why I'm here!"
That these feelings are described by a passionate lover of Aussie Rules football - who happens to be a woman - will come as no surprise to the AFL's thousands of women supporters who celebrate their team's highs and lows each week.
This book contains two women's unashamed accounts of what football means to them - from the days of sharing Twisties and a wine cask while watching the Brownlow Medal count to joining other footy-loving women as members of their clubs' social coteries.
If you're one of footy's many female supporters - if you've ever let your sportswoman's eye linger that little too long on the full-forward's flanks or queued interminably for the women's loo at quarter-time - the stories recounted in 'Real Women Love Footy' will resonate with you.
