    Research Fully identifying early umpires

    The V/AFL is no doubt the most comprehensively covered league for statistical analysis in the history of our great game (although Ric Gauci and his tremendous WAFL FootyFacts website might have something to say about that). One area that is slightly lacking, at least in some areas, is that of...

    Discussion WAFL Women's (WAFLW) recognised as statistical continuation of West Australian Women's Football League (WAWFL)

    https://wafootball.com.au/news/25838/wafc-acknowledges-wa-womens-football-league-as-historic-foundation-of-wafl-womens The WAFC announced this back in November 2024 but I only just noticed it now, and thought it of enough relevance to start a discussion here. Basically, the WAWFL was the...

    Resource Random clash/promo jumper articles of years gone by

    I often come across old articles relating to clash jumpers in my research. It's fascinating to see what the media of the time thought about certain clash jumpers that we now look back on as iconic (or terrible). Here are a few.

    Discussion Biggest differences between player issue and retail designs

    Something different, and perhaps one for the collectors. Was trawling for Pies jumpers and this came to me recently – a reminder of how different the 2010 Collingwood designs were on the back between the PI and the retail. On PI's the stripes were cut off by the Adidas curve motif, but on...

    News "Get In On It"? The AFL's new promo video celebrating 160 years of Aussie Rules Footy just happens to get their own logo wrong

    Just saw this cop a fairly low-profile release on Facebook about an hour or so ago. I'm not sure if it exists anywhere else yet. That said, I quite like it as a 60-second primer for people who aren't really into footy, and I think fans of every team can probably be satisfied that they are in...

    Research Data gaps + big projects

    I thought it might be a good idea to create a thread of the current major data gaps online and whether they are being researched. This should prevent double-handling, and also allow those with connections to the AFL stats guys (Col, SR and so on) to update us on the status of their tasks. I am...

    Discussion Round 6, 2024: Photos and Discussion

    Chat about this round's games here. I thought tonight's Saints v Dogs was a prime example of needlessly introducing white to a kit where it doesn't have any. The Dogs in all blue would have made for a much nicer look. While the match-up wasn't a clash, it wasn't necessarily a contrast either.

    News The Nathan Buckley Collection

    Bucks is selling off about 200 items worth of memorabilia via Leskis. There are a heap of phenomenal guernseys and apparel in the collection. These auction sites often don't last long, so I thought I'd preserve a few of the rarer items here. NTFL 1992 trainer NTFL 1992 rep 1992 SANFL GF...

    Cats in the retro kit tonight. Almost looks like a silver sheen. I get what they are trying to do, but paired with the OMO white of the shorts, it just looks a bit weird

    Delayed thread is delayed, sorry crew. For what it’s worth I thought tonight’s game wasn’t the easiest on the eye. Lots of shared red and white.

    Colin Carter – Football’s Forgotten Years

    Has anyone else on here read Colin Carter’s recently published book centred around reclaiming the period between 1870 and 1896? I never used to place much credence in his arguments for modifying the premiership tally (my view was generally that the VFL was a separate, breakaway competition to...

    News Meta – Thread Formats for this year

    Sorry for asking this so late in the piece but I thought it best to gauge the opinions of the board given we’ve had a suggestion or two for an alternate “style” this year. I am personally happy to keep it status quo but would entertain option 2. I think option 3 is a bit odd (what becomes the...

    News White shorts ditched in AFLW

    ‘Awesome outcome’: White shorts ditched for AFLW players to cut period stress A sensible outcome given the worldwide push for less mandatory white-coloured sporting attire given sensitivities around women's menstrual cycles etc. I think this actually could be the catalyst for less white shorts...

    News Collingwood wanted North to change its jumper to avoid a clash – all the way back in 1949

    Was digging around some old articles on Trove and found this pretty interesting revelation from August 1949. It puts to bed the theory that 'anti-clashers' like to perpetuate, which is that nobody had a problem with telling Collingwood and North apart for a hundred years and clash jumpers are...

    Evening, team. I've been going back through the annals of pre-season matches looking at crowds and noticing that there a few that remain TBC via all the usual places (Wiki, Austadiums, and Australian Football / Hard Ball Get where applicable).

    An AFL video game anthology

    I didn't know where to post this but I was pretty impressed that I could sit through a 53-min video without ever having watched this guy's content before. He's big (150k+ subs) yet only 4% of his audience is from Australia, so it's interesting the way he explains and highlights the intricacies...
