The ''AFL Record'' is the official program available at Australian Football League (AFL) matches. The publication began as the ''Football Record'' in Melbourne, Australia in 1912, making it one of the oldest magazines in Australia. The publication is also known affectionately by fans as the ''Footy Record'' and many other leagues have since adopt a similar format and produce their own "footy record". The ''AFL Record'', in its current format, is published and produced by the Slattery Media Group. As of 2009, the editor of the ''AFL Record'' is Peter DiSisto. ==History== The publication began as the ''Football Record'' in Melbourne, Australia on 27 April 1912, making it one of the oldest magazines in Australia. It was initially formatted as a pocketbook guide to assist spectators of matches when the league was known as the VFL. The guide helped identify players on the field. As only their numbers were worn on their guernseys, the record contained a list of player names so that spectators could tell who is who. Over time, the record included a section for keeping track of how many goals and behinds players have kicked while the game is being played and this became a traditional pastime of many footy spectators, something which is fairly unique to the game. Special interest articles were also added, as well as scores, reports and updates from other leagues around the country. The ''AFL Record'' was known as the ''Football Record'' until 1998, and in 1999 the current title was adopted.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AFL Record」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
