More Madness. The world is just becoming so boring now.

    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

    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".

    I think this is a wonderful move by the AFL.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
