Western Bulldogs Senior Coach Rodney Eade has led his team into its first Preliminary Final since 1998 and he's not finished yet.
"Anything can happen in a two-horse race. You can't beat them if you are not there. We will go in and no one will pick us and rightfully so, and that's fine because they are a great team. But anything can happen, and there will be no pressure on us. We have got to play our way and back ourselves."
Come and meet "Rocket" during an exclusive book signing session at Bulldogs Central, Whitten Oval on Wednesday 17th September at 4.30pm.

Rodney Eade has had an incredible journey in sport and in life. Growing up in Tasmania, sport was always an integral part of his life, his dad playing state football and cricket.
Early on, it looked as if cricket would be Rodney’s game. Then the Hawthorn Football Club took him across Bass Strait as a seventeen year old to play VFL football.http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa198/mmsalih/Eade_train08_246_a.jpg
Little did anyone know – least of all Rodney – what lay ahead: four Premierships with Hawthorn; coaching the first interstate team to win a premiership; coaching the Swans to their first Grand Final since moving to Sydney; and becoming just 12th person in the history of the game to both play and coach 200 games.
Eade’s life and career is an extraordinary story, and Kevin Hillier has interviewed a huge range of footballing talent and experience to fully do it justice.
