About this event view

Plays follow the possession sequences recorded by the AFL event feed. They show recorded actions rather than every moment of the match.

Times show elapsed time within each quarter, including time-on.

Arrows follow the order of recorded actions. They do not imply an unrecorded pass between players.

Team filters follow the team in possession at the start of a play. Opposition actions in that play remain visible.
