Match records and coverage
This summary uses the recorded scores; it cannot explain tactics or individual moments. Quarter comparisons are included only when all four quarters add up to the final score. Missing records are not counted as zero.

Shot and disposal maps use recorded AFL event data from 2021 onwards.
How to read these maps
Match ends follow the AFL feed’s recorded first-quarter direction and the change of ends each quarter. Left and right refer to the source ground view.
Distance is an estimate from the recorded kick location to the centre of goal. Angle is degrees off centre: 0° is straight in front. These are geometric estimates, not measured kick distances or scoring probabilities.
The dots show where an attempt or disposal was recorded, not where the ball landed. A line to goal highlights the selected shot; it does not show the ball’s actual path.
Events without a usable location remain in the list. Missing quarters and missing locations are not treated as zero activity. Recorded shot attempts can include attempts that did not score, and the feed may be revised after the match.
Only AFL feed events are shown. Disposals include classified kicks and handballs; kick-ins are excluded. Shot attempts require the feed’s shot-at-goal flag.
Times show elapsed time within each quarter, including time-on.
