About AFL Almanac

AFL Almanac is an unofficial record book for VFL/AFL history. It started because I wanted a mobile-friendly way to look up scores, ladders, and player stats from the couch — something that just works on a phone without pinching and zooming.

The site will never compete with the breadth of AFL Tables, which remains the definitive online reference for Australian football statistics. AFL Almanac aims to complement it with a modern, responsive interface designed for quick lookups on any device.

Data

Match results, scores, and venue data are sourced from the Squiggle API, which provides structured, well-maintained AFL data. Player career stats and historical records are compiled from publicly available data.

Future

I plan to integrate AI-powered features so users can interrogate the stats in a more natural way — ask questions in plain English, compare eras, or surface insights that a static table can't easily show. The groundwork for that is already in the search page.
