Obsessed with the Crows
Are you a woman obsessed with the Crows and the game of football in general? You may be able to relate to prominent ABC journalist and sportscaster Angela Pippo
Are you a woman obsessed with the Crows and the game of football in general? You may be able to relate to prominent ABC journalist and sportscaster Angela Pippos.Pippos, who regards herself as a “delusional Crows fan”, earlier this season published “The Goddess Advantage” which takes us through the agony, ecstasy and sporting passion of an AFL tragic. Copies are still available, and the book would make for a terrific gift.With her Greek blood pumping and her tongue firmly planted in her perfectly made-up cheek, Angela shares her season with us and lets us in on the romantic disasters, the visits from Mum and the gorgeous Greek island holiday–not to mention the buttock-clenching tension of the Crows’ close matches.The Goddess Advantage is a hilarious exploration of one woman’s passions — for friendship, food and fun, but especially for the great game of Australian Rules football.Below is an extract from the book:My brother talks about the amount of time he spent retrieving my errant kicks from the creek bed opposite our house in one of Adelaide’s outer suburbs; but what would he know? He was too young to remember. I was a bloody good kick back then and still am now. “Your sister,” the kids in the street used to say, “she’s a good kick for a girl.” And I’d smile, and kick a little further. The only time I spoke to boys outside my family was in a game of kick to kick; I sometimes think I should have stuck to that general rule.“The Goddess Advantage” is available now for $22.95. To buy, please contact Adelaide's Melbourne office on (03) 9827 9111.
