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’m trans-skinny. 

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.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
