Kill for Collingwood (Stremski 1986) is the definitive Collingwood archive (to 1986), exceptioanly well researched and written. Its like the King James Bible for Collingwood diehards.
Good luck finding a copy though, and expect to pay North of $100.

So after everything, I actually got in contact with the co-author Michael Hyde. He replied within a couple hours and believes he will be able to get me a copy.

That doesn't surprise me. Michael Hyde has been a friend of mine for over 50 years and is an extremely nice bloke. If I had seen your post when you originally posted it I would have contacted Michael for you.
Stremski's book was the first academic history of a VFL/AFL club and probably still the best (and not just because it is the history of the best club)

Like others, I highly recommend 'Kill for Collingwood'. Fantastic read.
I wish a 2nd edition was written to encompass the McAlister, Rose and McGuire years.

Jezza, those years need to be written about by someone else. Stremski was part of the recent history... and he fought to cling on to his power:
| K wrote: | Stremski was biased and became part of the problem for the other side (the next batch of supposed White Knights).*
<snip>
*From the same source:
"However, the board members didn't go quietly...
The following night, after some angst, the revolution was accepted. ... Stremski was the hold-out duing the twenty-four hours, needing the guarantee of a new position as the club's general manager, created following Graeme Allan's departure to Brisbane, in order to agree." |

I've managed to get a couple of the author, Michael Hyde's, other titles. I haven't received Ossie Rules just yet. I might send a reminder in Feb, when I'm back at work.
