anyone know where to find 'spoils' as a stat?

Here's a great link for watching the AFL live scores either online or while you're out on your mobs - www.livescores.com.au/afl/

I'm looking for a site that has the umpires for each game. The AFL site has them in their match reports, but only provide surnames. The AFLUA has all the goss, but buried in an odious PDF. These are usable, but hoping for something a little simpler.

Paul, when can we expect AFLTables to be updated with the 2015 games?

Round 1's already been uploaded.

Round 1's already been uploaded.

Oh really? Where can I find it? Thanks.

Right here.

And here.

 

[KennyK]

Thanks RedmanWasHere. I wasn't able to locate those pages from the home page. Cheers.

 

[KENT2008]

is there any place that offers live play by play logging of all afl games? similar to what espn and cbs offer for nba?

 

[*Paul*]

Thanks RedmanWasHere. I wasn't able to locate those pages from the home page. Cheers.

For unknown reasons, some people are being presented with a cached page home page i.e. 2014's. I've googled a bit, but a satisfactory explanation of why it happens, and how best to circumvent it has been hard to find.

Now that you mention that. It's fine on Firefox for me.
However, I've had your site bookmarked in Chrome, and it's not showing the 2015 data from home. Hmm.

The list of Richmond players who represented the club in the VFA (1885-1907) is now online for the first time.

Where can a brother freely find hit outs to advantage numbers?

Thanks for confirming my suspicions mate

Anyone know where one can find "metres gained" stat? I'm guessing maybe it's a Champion Data unique stat

they've been publishing in The Advertiser in Adelaide so I'd say its also getting published in one of the papers over there on the Monday, but besides that yes champ data pricks keeping it tight

Tks. Found it by looking up press display - Sunday Mail/Advertiser. Lots of other stats there as well. Same data is published in the Herald Sun as well on the Sunday/Monday.

*Paul* perhaps this has been brought up before, but in this 1980 game Michael Roach is shown as having had just 1 kick, but scored 5 goals!:-

Footy Works also has the same figures for Roach, no doubt there was an error with the source material. Is there any other source now available that could provide a more likely kicks figure? The Age from the following Monday doesn't have statistics, it's match report merely confirms that Roach kicked 5 goals.

I'm not sure if this is the correct explanation for this match, but the APB Sports definitions for their statistical collection through the '80s & '90s meant that no kick was recorded for a kick off the ground --- it had to be dropped from hand to foot. This changed after a certain Geelong small forward in the mid-90s scored multiple goals and had zero kicks; can't remember the exact names & dates sorry.

On the other hand, even on a very muddy day it seems unlikely that Roach would have these stats, perhaps it was a transcription error somewhere.

Thanks for that. I wasn't aware of the story regarding the Geelong player, or that kicks off the ground weren't counted back in those days. Roach is credited with 3 marks in the 1980 game (and just 1 handball to go with his 1 kick) so I imagine he did have a few more "proper kicks" that day.

From the Football Record, Rd. 24 2011:-

"For instance, a kick off the ground in Williams’ day was not included as a disposal. As I’ve outlined previously, this changed after round nine, 1997. Geelong goalsneak Ronnie Burns was credited with five goals and zero disposals for his game against the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba."

 

[*Paul*]

Roach, in fact, had 10 kicks - a transcription error. Well spotted, alas it's likely there are more of them.

 

[Catsace]

Funny about Ronnie Burns, i think also there was a game where Jarrod Molloy kicked i think six goals (and again i think it was in the late 90's) for the Lions who kicked six goals one day and i am pretty sure several of his too were kicked off the ground as well. Some of these anomalies were manifest back in the old Dreamteam comps of the day. (bit like the famous Scott Wynd kickless 50's he'd get with his prolific hitout totals). Think that game came against the Pies if i recall for Molloy.
