    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 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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
