<||> AFL stats guru COL HUTCHINSON laid to rest any previous doubts when he produced the first accurate dimensions of most playing areas of League venues (both current and past).

Waverley Park – 180 x 142
Princes Park – 151 x 137
Victoria Park – 164 x 133
Western Oval – 176 x 123
Kardinia Park – 171 x 117
Grounds formerly used —
Arden Street – 163 x 121
Windy Hill – 154 x 129
Moorabbin – 160 x 130
