Perhaps less imaginative than the predictions in this one

Pretty excited about the changes coming to the AFL this season, as first announced in the 2004 grand final edition of the Footy Record.

This showed be viewed in context of June 2025 Social Cost of Gambling to Victoria report, which found 67% of money lost on EGMs in FY22-23 came from those experiencing problem gambling.

- At just under $21k per machine, I can't see how St Kilda's machines make them any money.
- Perhaps it's convenient timing to make this point, with Richmond's premiership era recently over, but the 4 Vic teams still with pokies (Carlton, Ess, Rich, Stk) are all in the bottom 6 of the AFLM ladder.
