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...

This sentence is very hard to read. I'm saying that the home team gets choice of guernsey. The away team has to provide a guernsey that avoids clashing. The league then selects shorts for both teams that accentuate the contrast where possible. It's a pretty simple three-step process imo. I...

Yeah I agree with your last point to an extent. FWIW I got a notification about 24 hours or so after I reported this item saying that the listing was taken down by eBay.

Just InCase popping their head in for the first time in 9 years!!

Is it her decision specifically though or is it just a part of the game which falls under her general remit? It’s not like she has suddenly implemented the rule. It’s been a thing forever and a day

haha that's what I mean. I'm in complete agreement with you!

Awesome. I'm okay with everything going to AF. It's already the most comprehensive site out there and will only keep getting better :)

Big old-school bump on this one. Does anyone have any updates on the completion of pre-1965 behinds tallies research? Feels like we've been talking about them being uploaded for 10 years. Thanks in advance! 35Daicos Oliver G rbartlett

I managed to find an example of how a stats sheet looked in Footy Week during 1965. This is from the Round 13 game between Fitzroy and Footscray. The numbers match up with what's on AFL Tables, which is no surprise. But what's fascinating to me is the data that's been left behind – stuff like...

Almost certainly the methodology changed. I'm curious as to where AFL Tables etc. sourced their pre-1999 data (1999 being the year that Champion Data came on board). I'm guessing the 1965 era stuff came from Footy Week. This particular issue below would probably contain the answer...

I know you're being facetious, but my position on shorts has never changed, and that has always been that they should be at the discretion of the league, whereas guernseys should be at the discretion of the home club. The league can figure out the best way to minimise a clash with the guernseys...

Yeah the Dutton logo just looks typed in the graphic. Mero you can vectorise from this raster Dutton logo - it's massive - about 5,000 px wide.

If I may nitpick on the Pies one, the back artwork seems to be positioned differently. And this probably applies to all the Pies / Emirates jumpers of the last ten years or so, but the padding and colouring is a bit off on that back logo (same goes to the KFC logo too). Sorry!

I think we can all agree on that point about the jumper looking good / being traditional / avoiding clashes, while still agreeing that the home side shouldn't have to acquiesce...

Bump. The issue with Nike's poor turnaround times and stock levels is that the number of fake Pies jumpers have skyrocketed over the last couple of years, as people simply want the opportunity to wear what the players are wearing. The downside is they look s**t. Yes, they've improved, but it's...

They first brought back the chunky monogram in 2005 for the last game at Princes Park:

A Blues 160th anniversary heritage jumper will be released in July, ahead of the Rd 22 game against Hawthorn in which it will be worn. https://www.carltonfc.com.au/news/1537437/carlton-to-embark-on-160th-year-celebration

I can't remember which thread I saw this in on BF (if at all) but thought I would repost it here. Well done to those involved, including our very own 35Daicos. https://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/news/1536608/collingwood-discovers-its-62nd-anzac Checking out the Wikipedia edit history for...

We can now add Footscray captain & team of the century member Harry Hickey to the first kick/first goal club.

Per some recent chat on this board about first kick/first goal achievers and the potential missed cases along the years. With that in mind, is anyone able to generate a full list of players who kicked 1 goal or more on their debut? And/or for post-1965, a list of players who kicked 1 goal or...

Thanks mate. Doedee is an obvious error which is why it was removed, Webb I'm not so sure about.

North love their shorts more than their jumper. Go figure.

I went to go and make the changes on Wikipedia now and there are a few 'hidden' cases on there which can only be seen when in edit mode. WIKIPEDIA 'HIDDEN' CASES (not on AFL master list) David Flood - Ess - R8, 1986 Daryl Griffiths - StK - R9, 1963 Tim O'Brien - Haw - R1, 2014 (confirmed in...

Thanks mate. That's extremely helpful. I've crosschecked the Wikipedia list and the AFL's list above, with the following results... WIKIPEDIA MISSING: Callum Brown - GWS - R21, 2021 Chris Burgess - GC - R1, 2019 Ian George - StK - R8, 1973 Max King - StK - R1, 2020 Brendan Littler - StK - R20...

This Giants “Dutch” kit is beautiful. I’d genuinely campaign for this exact combo to be their home uniform.

Nice work guys. Amazingly, those two cases means we now hit exactly 300 recognised cases of the feat taking place. Wiki will need to be updated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_VFL/AFL_players_to_have_scored_a_goal_with_their_first_kick

My first thought with the silhouette was 'stock image', but I actually think it may be a vectorised overlay... it's just that the vectorisation is really poor. It looks like someone has just run an auto-trace and called it a day. Lines missing for no reason, a random boxy chunk out of the guy on...

Have you got the 'clashing' list, out of interest?
