i liked the magazine style a lt better than the nook
i own the 95, 98 and 03 ones in book style and it was a bit bland if you asked me. lots of colour and pictures makes it look slick

ps. i am not illiterate and i dont mind reading somehting if it interests me

:| nqcowboy87 said something about not being illiterate. I'm not sure that applies to you though... ;-)

This years is hard-cover after the swarrm of complaints last year of the official yearbook being a magazine. So it'll be more expensive.



Big League have nothing to do with the production of the yearbook. They only publish it through the News Ltd printing press. Big League won the rights after Harper-Collins (another News Ltd owned company) contract expired end of 2003.

Good gear the magazine format sh*t me, even stored carfefully its easy enough to damage.

Yeah it's soft-cover. That pisses me off. The hard-cover edition won't be out until March or April next year according to my newsagent.

I've got it, it's a better version than the previous years one.

I like how it has all previous Dally M position winners. (Eg. winger of the year, etc for every season since it's inception). Always like seeing Marcus Bai as 1998 Winger of the year. :p

They're not new. They appear every so often

1995 was the last time the final positions table for every year appeared.

Last year was the first time nothing special was in the book.

Is your newsagent EB? :lol:

This is it. They don't release a hardcover anymore. Listen to people instead of being so self-righteous and pretending to know everything for once!

I got one today. Quite impressed to be honest, first time Ive bought one, but its a special year and personally this will be good to look back on in years to come.
The "What made the news" for the various months is good, as well as off season and post season reports....though the pic of Mark O'Neill thats supposedly Joel Caine is a poor effort.

nqboy, do you know that trolls not only live under bridges, but patrol forums and derail conversations because they're wankers? See the post above this one for an example of trolling.

;-) Have a nice day.
