Why they ran out of AFL Records for Bob Murphy’s 300th game

Vexed listener Merle called Ross and John with a very important question: Why wasn’t there anyone selling the AFL Record before the Western Bulldogs v Brisbane match?

Well, possibly because they didn’t have anything to sell.

After Merle’s call, the AFL told us the Record – including a tribute to Bob Murphy ahead of his 300th match – sold out.

They say 20% of the 31,822-strong crowd bought a Record, compared to the normal eight per cent.

They were a well-read bunch at Etihad Stadium!
