On that, it’s amazing the numbers recorded for stats that were first logged in 1998. Only one clanger in a match! Darryl Poole the only culprit that day. (Yes, this is beyond trivial and insignificant!)
Great read. Understand the likely time + cost involved, but would be sensational to have Champion Data level stats for pre-1999 matches. Would shine a new light on champions as well as the shifts in how footy’s played. Might be a crowd-source effort! themongrelpunt.com/footy-his…

This quote was published months after Brisbane won the 2024 flag. Two Septembers on, Tapps’ fingerprints are all over the past four AFL premierships (23-24-25-26) ❤️
Surprised Dale Tapping’s name hasn’t surfaced re the AFL coaching vacancies. Has been part of Brisbane’s rise as midfield coach and had success where he’s ventured. Was highly regarded during his time on Collingwood’s panel.

When Patrick Voss kicked his third goal 21 minutes into the final quarter of the #AFLGF, the bell rang out across the @MCG and Freo fans went into raptures. But not every one of the 100,023 in attendance was aware of Wharfie Time. A gentleman in M39 had some questions 💜

The faces and body language say it all. Sincerely hope Justin Longmuir gets his moment one day soon 💜🏆

A thread. 📸 Moments that became memories. Grand Final day 2026 at the @mcg. There’s something about #AFLGF day that endures through all changes to football, society and technology. A sense of community, reverence and magic. We should be so lucky ❤️🏆

Brutal. Longy was an assistant at Collingwood in 2018. He was respectful, intelligent, and interested - he asked questions and appeared to see the bigger picture. He was an extremely impressive person and colleague. Sincerely hope his moment comes soon ❤️

Fremantle’s kicked 454 goals + 462 behinds in their 38 games against Brisbane since 1997. They’ve kicked 491 goals + 492 behinds in their 46 games against Hawthorn since 1995. They’ve kicked a combined 20.31 against the two teams in their two GFs. Brutal #AFLGF

A few random stats + facts to emerge from the #AFLGF: Darcy Fort’s played in 3 flags in his past 47 games. Will Ashcroft averages 31 disposals in 3 Grand Finals. What’s the record for highest ave. disposals for 3 or more GFs, @sirswampthing?

"Yesterday, for the second time, McGlynn watched the white whale spout at his bow and swim away. It's a big ocean - who knows if he'll find it again?" This, from Tim Boyle in @theagesport in 2012, remains my favourite piece of writing about Grand Finals - theage.com.au/sport/afl/like…

Channel 10's opener to its Grand Final coverage in 2002 is arguably the best encapsulation of the day and what it means to so many ❤️🏆
