    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
