An AFL fan who loves the concept of the Top 100 AFL game players and goal scorers in the AFL and at each club and the annual functions to celebrate these achievements. Also the Top 100 in the Umpiring and Coaching categories.

AFL top 100 nicknames: Hawthorn 16 to 1
Hi Mark,
Thanks for your comments, but I tend to disagree. Whilst it is disappointing that no one made it through the quals, it needs to be recognized that our “second tier” players (those that would normally be in this tournament attempting to qualify) were given wild cards to the main game, and therefore the wild cards in the quals went to our third tier players and included juniors, players ranked outside the top 1000 and even unranked players. Against this background, any success should be noted, especially the efforts of Mathew and Kimberly and some of the performances in the doubles albeit in a Covid weakened field.
Aussie qualifiers' report card from a special Australian Open
Thanks Chris M. Will work on Top 20 from each club. Best one I came across not AFL was premier league player named Fitzall. Course he got the nickname “onesize”!
AFL top 100: Nicknames 10 to 1
Classic Munro Mike (and everyone!). shows the size of the task, and the individual taste. Suggestions along he way were great, but most of the time missed the cut. Certainly a lot of clever supporters out there! Half way through I was thinking of a top 20 for each club and I still would not have run out!
AFL top 100: Nicknames 10 to 1
Yes, that’s good point, but so far it has not got the same recognition factor as some of the others but it’s a bit like picking your favorite sardine!

Spot On Chris M. All on list, and the Flying Doormat is close to the top.
AFL top 100: What's in a name?
Actually, i think Jo Pearson was the one allegedly involved. The Dorovitch part is new to me?
AFL top 100: What's in a name?
Thanks for your comment, AdamDilligat, the games today will decide 8th spot and I can see an evening up across the board for next year.
The final round is a perfect example of how close the season has been
Yes, moving very steadily up the AFL greatest goalkickers list, and on current form has a few years left yet.

Thanks Thomas,
My error. Can you tell me what happened to Jack Hombsch?
AFL top 100: Gold Coasts' games and goals
You may be right Mooty, but I would love to see him out there! The 12 months rehab may extend his football career into the next two years.
AFL top 100: Sydney's games and goals
Thanks for your comment, Barry. If I am honest I think it is to do with the quality of my work, and the narrow range of my topics.
AFL top 100: Richmond's games and goals
You are correct, Tiger_MBK I did mean Nick Vlaustin. Unfortunately I went down the list of games played instead of years at the club.
AFL top 100: Richmond's games and goals
Thanks for that info, Sly. I guess the #29 was because his first game was in Round 15?
AFL top 100: Collingwood's games and goals
Thanks Kevo, I agree all the forwards get the most credit because their performances are counted each week, hence the Coleman medal. etc.
