The Blueseum is very pleased to be able to give a sneak preview of the upcoming book by Ted Hopkins. What you are about to read is the first chapter of the book 'Home Ground Advantage', where Ted delves into his youthful and personal experiences of modern Australia, of which a significant part involves the Carlton Football Club and his growing appreciation of sports theory.

From the book: "It occurred to me how closely the ascendency of sport from the 19th Century onwards and the modern industrial period were entwined. I asked myself why there was no sports theory when so much sport exists? Religion, politics, economics, evolution, physics etc all have a theory. But not sport. While books on sporting subjects, biographies, sports science, statistics are everywhere, attention to a theory of sport is minimal."

This will be a first for the Blueseum, because we want your reaction to this piece of writing, we want to know what it made you think about, what did it make you question or contemplate? At the end of the chapter an email address will be provided to which your correspondence can be sent. The best responses will be published on the Blueseum as a series after the chapter for perpetuity.

So please enjoy Home Ground Advantage...
