Overview
For the best part of its first 100 years, AFL football was something of a closed shop when it came to recording statistics and history. Clubs and the media were fed a few basics stats but the general public was devoid of any meaningful information.
Fast forward to the 21st century and it’s a completely different story. Football fans now have an insatiable appetite for statistics and history – and one of the best ways to satisfy that hunger is via the AFL Record Season Guide.
The AFL's official statistical history book has all the statistics and history of the game dating back to the very first match in 1858. And it covers everything you need to know about AFL football since the League started in 1897, including a detailed look at every draft.

| Page | Correction |
|---|---|
| 32 | Under the heading 'Winning Runs', the first entry (v North Melbourne) should read 2004- only. The streak 1991-93 (3 wins) should be positioned further down the table. |
| 43 | Tyson Edwards had kicked 190 goals to the end of the 2009 season, not 189 goals. |
| 49 | Under the heading 'Eight Goals Or More In A Match', the first bold entry for Jonathan Brown (8.2 v Essendon in Round 6) should read 2005, not 2004. |
| 49 | Under the heading 'Goals Records', Daniel Bradshaw's career goalkicking record at Brisbane should be closed (1996-2009). |
| 69 | Carlton's best and fairest winner in 1929 has been confirmed as Horrie Clover. |

| 97 | In Nathan Buckley's coaching profile it states he won the 2003 Norm Smith Medal. He won the 2002 Norm Smith Medal. |
| 139 | Mark Thompson's coaching record is incorrect. The 'Total' column should read 235 games, 143 wins and 89 losses. |
| 195 | In the Rookie List profiles, note that Michael Newton is not a mature-age rookie. On the following page, Danny Hughes should have two ## marks as he is a mature-age rookie. |

| 338 | Under the heading 'Season 2009 Players Now Unlisted', there is an error with the dates of birth of all players – they are in American style and four years out of date. The error occurred in the transfer of data from one computer system to another. The correct dates of birth can be downloaded from the link below. |
| 466 | In the 2009 National Draft section, the letter 'B' mistakingly appears next to draft selection No. 44. It should read Matt Dea. |

| 552 | In the Hall of Fame profile for Albert Collier, his list of clubs should include Cananore in Tasmania. He also won the 1931 William Leitch Medal. |

| 584 | Under the heading 'AFL Players – 100 Or More Career Games For Two Or More Clubs: 1897-2009', Matthew Clarke is listed as playing 248 career games. There should be a notation that he played 10 games for St Kilda in 2007, bringing his career total to 258 games. |

| 635 | Under the heading 'Most Goals By Guernsey Number: 1911-2009', Russell Robertson wore No. 42 in 1997 and kicked five goals before switching to No. 24 in 1998. Therefore, his span in No. 24 should read 1998-2009, 418 goals. |
| 731 | Under the heading 'Round-By-Round Attendance Records: 1921-2009', the record for round 19 is incorrect. It should read 309,042 (2006). |

| 869 | The 2007 Grand Final captains have not been identified. Tom Harley was captain of Geelong and Warren Tredrea was captain of Port Adelaide. |
| 917 | Under the heading 'Simpson Medal', the clubs of several winners are incorrectly listed. The correct listings should be 1958 Ned Bull (East Perth), 1959 Graham Farmer (East Perth), 1972 Ken McAullay (East Perth), 1978 Ian Miller (East Perth) and 2000 Dean Cox (East Perth) |
