About FootySphere

How FootySphere works

FootySphere takes your AFL statistic-related queries and turns them into easy to interpret tables and explanations. AFL is one of the most data-rich sports in existence, hence, FootySphere aims to give all AFL data meaning, with the ability to return curated answers based on your question. FootySphere can answer statistical related questions, however, it cannot answer questions in which there is a biased ground of judgement or such where data does not exist. To see what statistics FootySphere tracks, head to the Glossary page. To see examples of questions, head to the Examples page.

Data accuracy

While FootySphere crosschecks and accrues data from accurate sources, we have no guarantee that any data is 100% accurate. FootySphere outputs an interpretation of how our model interpreted your question so you know exactly what games are included and why. Below is a detailed breakdown of questions and their data, crosschecked with other popular AFL statistic sites.
