Leopold Method’s Quarterly Edition is a cross between the world renowned UK football publication the Blizzard and Australian current affairs journal Quarterly Essay. Issue 1 covers regional football, coaching and development, Aboriginal football and a historical narrative on a migrant community football club. Roy Hay writes on the history of cup competitions in Australia, Joe Gorman examines Alessandro Del Piero’s time in the A-League and Kate Cohen interviews Ange Postecoglou. The portrait of Leopold Baumgartner for the cover is drawn by artist Jamie Osborne. There are stories everywhere in Australian football and the role of Leopold Method is to bring them to life. As the modern game seeks to reconcile with its past, we want to educate the football community about the game’s history. To take it out of the academic and anorak archives and into the public’s hands. Our hope is that Leopold Method can provide a space for voices outside of the mainstream. To analyse key issues such as cost of playing, player participation, the challenges for regional and women’s football, governance, facilities strategy, volunteerism and to bring them to public attention. We want the game to grow, and unless these issues are part of the debate, they will be forgotten, and the game held back.
