    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’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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
