i think it's more to do with aflw than afl.  there's your reason.

The WAFL equivalent of the Football Record “The Budget” only publishes the weight of the League, Ressies and Colts players the WAFL Women’s senior and Rogers Cup (Colts) players do not have their weight published 

 

what next?

no height, no age, no clanger stats, no frees against stats, no disposals .......

won't matter in another 20 years as all afl teams will be droids with an ai bot as the coach

I don't know about that, but I can share the results of a recent University study.

The research discovered that women who carry a little extra weight outlive the men who mention it.


World of Sport around 1978

Jack Dyer: Welcome young son. Your name’s Andrew Moir isn’t it?

Moir: Yes, that’s right Jack

Jack Dyer: And you played a beautiful game down there for Melbourne against South at the Lakeside oval yesadee

Moir: Yeah – managed to snap a few Jack

Jack Dyer: - now this is your first season – where did you come from?

Moir: They recruited me from Mentone Grammer Jack

Jack Dyer: (giggle) that’s pretty swank (under his breath . . . typical Melbourne) – now son what’s your height?

Mior: six foot Jack

Jack Dyer: now you're 11 and a half stone, how much do you weigh Son?

Moir: errrr . . . 11 and a half stone Jack.

Weight is an important stat. In rugby league & union they noted the weight of players over the last 50 years & found the modern player was considerably heavier (and fitter) today.

This has informed rule changes & concussion protocols.

Last time I tried weighing myself on the talking scales, the machine said "One at a time, please".

Typical canist remark.

I think this is a wonderful move by the AFL.

I say this as someone who has conquered anorexia.(Very successfully).

I can see why they have done it, but it can take away some interest.

For example, last year, I was interested in how the younger players were developing and competing against older opposition players. It was surprising that they were sometimes 15kg lighter than their opposition.

This year, it looks as though many have increased their muscle mass and fitness. But who really knows?

This bloke always did look a bit skinny, so perhaps weight has nothing to do with playing AFL footy?

Strange to say but he did bulk up (comparatively)        Look at the very young in this video.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
