Fair dinkum, I'm 18 and I can remember they were arond a dollar ... ONE dollar ...
Inflation hasn't been that bad that they should be $4 ... and I don't reckon the content justifies the price.
What about a "Record-Lite", with just the team sheets, info on the umpires and a space to fill in the goals/behinds etc.?
I would buy something like that for a dollar or two ...

They should only play AFL games now when it's raining. Slow games of footy are so much better to watch.

I much preferred the days when we'd cut out the Saturday Herald Sun's 'record' and staple it together.
Would have worked out to be about 16 pages or so, and could easily fold into your pocket. Brilliant - unbiased previews and all the details you needed.
Let's face it, the record is full of flaky puff-pieces of no interest to the discerning footy fan.
If the Sun did it today, they'd put the record out of business - or at least force them to charge a fair price.
I don't think I've ever bought more than one or two records in my whole life.

Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

fair question ive often wondered this and many peoples answers will be different but mine is so i can look back in years and see how every player fared and stuff like that and if one player kicks a bag you can say i was there and you can have proof

I usually get it for something to read on the train home and for opposition team numbers ... ahem ... and sometimes for our newbies number reminders.
I always intend to do the scores and usually get the first goal details and then completely forget all about it.
The articles are rarely interesting and just a lot of recycled info.

Just because you may have a clue with the club does not give you anymore right on this site

im a major collector of them.

Yep far better...Pwoit wrote:W O F T A M
Back in the 70's 80's they were about 25c and you had quizzes crosswords find the ball The 1's List, the Magoos list, players names in the 100 letters square - actually well written stories, fixtures and results smaller book easier to handle and more info IMO
I still have a few of the smaller book ones and the content was better IMO

I like to collect them personally, like a few others in this thread. I like to look back on them over the next few years and read the article on the two competing teams and see how accurate the article was. Ah, memories. There's a fair bit of fluff, yes. But I enjoy it in a weird, sentimental kind of way.
Besides, if we win the flag this year or in years to come, I'd like to say I have every program for every Saints game from a Premiership year!

I usually recycle ! find the ones the opposition supporters have ' left behind' as I walk through the seats to leave the game.

I dont buy em anymore, but I remember the 80's one which were much smaller , and better in size and content that way IMO.
BUT, what I remember most fondly about them is the sound they made as they were slammed against the wooden bench seats at morabbin. This sweet sound accompanied usually some ridiculous umpiring decision, or as happened often then, some very average football on our behalf.
Ahh, the moorabbin members, great days of yore.

just wondering, but if we made the Grand Final this year, who would buy one? (i think they are $17 this year for the GF)
