The AFL’s annual statistical and historical guide is about to hit the bookshelves and the first thing readers will notice is its title has changed.
The guide – now in its 10th year – has changed its name to AFL Record Season Guide to 2005 to reflect the title of the AFL Record, the long-running and popular gameday publication of the AFL.
This year, AFL Publishing has added another 16 pages to the Season Guide, making it 848 pages in total. And once again, it is crammed with up-to-date statistics and information, as well as a thorough review of the 2004 season and a look ahead to the 2005 season.
New additions in AFL Record Season Guide to 2005 include:
- A complete list of all Rookie Drafts since the Rookie Draft was introduced in 1997. Previous editions only listed the Rookie Draft selections of that particular year but now readers can look back on every Rookie Draft.
- There have been 12 sets of four or more brothers who have played at AFL level. This year’s guide lists them all, including the famous Rose brothers who all played for Collingwood.
- A list of recent cases of individual players who have outscored the entire opposition. For example, Gary Ablett senior scored 9.6 (60) in Geelong’s score of 27.21 (183) against Melbourne in 1996. The Demons only managed 8.8 (56).
- Highest and lowest quarter-by-quarter aggregate scores. The most recent example of a highest aggregate score for a quarter was in 1991 when Melbourne and the Kangaroos scored 9.1 (55) each in the opening term for an aggregate total of 110.
- With the re-vamp of the AFL Tribunal, the guide outlines the new Tribunal reforms for the 2005. There is also a list of all Tribunal chairman since the Tribunal became an independent body in 1976.
AFL Record Season Guide to 2005 has a complete wrap-up of the 2004 season and has profiled every currently listed AFL player. The guide also pays tribute to Melbourne defender Troy Broadbridge, one of the many Australian victims of the tsunami disaster.
