WAFL Golden Era Grand Final DVDs (1972-86) - Where to buy them



Merchandise Store at Lathlain Park (2/7/2011) where you can buy 1976 and 1977 WAFL Grand Final DVDs, the Perth FC official history book From Redlegs to Demons, and other home team gear. The store opens for all Perth FC WAFL home games. Visit Lathlain Park and imagine it is 1976 again! 
1972 Grand Final - East Perth Football Club, Leederville Oval (office hours).
1973 Grand Final - Subiaco Football Club, Leederville Oval (office hours).
1974 Grand Final - East Fremantle Football Club, East Fremantle Oval (office hours).
1976 Grand Final - Perth Football Club, Lathlain Park (office hours) and Merchandise Stand at Lathlain Park on match-days (located in north-western corner of the ground just inside the main entrance gates).
1977 Grand Final - Perth Football Club, Lathlain Park (office hours) and Merchandise Stand at Lathlain Park on match-days (located in north-western corner of the ground just inside the main entrance gates).
1978 Grand Final - East Perth Football Club, Leederville Oval (office hours). I was sold my copy for $10 (but that might have been because the regular administrator was out-for-lunch - typical old-school amateur WAFL approach - love it).
1979 Grand Final - East Fremantle Football Club, East Fremantle Oval (office hours). Also check out EFFC's official website if you live far away from the club. You may be able to order and pay online.
1980 Grand Final - South Fremantle Football Club Merchandise Store (inside the main grandstand with entry at street level from the footpath just across the road from the Fremantle Markets' exit) (office hours).
1981 Grand Final - Claremont Football Club, Claremont Oval - I was told at the club that this DVD is the best-seller of all the Claremont premiership DVDs. (It is sold in a two-disc set - one disc is the game itself and one disc has bonus features. Yes it includes all the fights in the opening minutes.)
1985 Grand Final - East Fremantle Football Club, East Fremantle Oval (office hours).
1986 Grand Final - Subiaco Football Club, Leederville Oval (office hours).

Note: I am guessing the reason that neither West Perth nor Swan Districts sell Grand Final DVDs for their premiership years is because these two clubs have not purchased the reproduction rights from ABC TV. (Yes I have made inquiries at both clubs during office hours. No, I didn't actually drive to Joondalup, I emailed the club.)
Interesting fact: The box cover for the 1977 Grand Final DVD says: "Perth versus East Perth" whereas the DVD inside correctly is for the 1977 match between Perth and East Fremantle. For Perth supporters I'm sure it is preferable to imagine that it was East Perth also defeated in 1977!
