Some scoring sequences have no unambiguous explicit result. The replay shows a partial recorded tally from that point.
Some recorded actions have no verified ground location. They remain in the replay; connecting arrows stop at these gaps.

Jerseys show the team; badges name the action. Other events are labelled without moving the ball to that player.
At this moment
At 1×, long waits are shortened to about five seconds while ball flights keep their pace. Restarts briefly hold the recorded clock, then flow into play.
The red ball follows recorded disposals and touches; its flight is illustrative. Goals use the verified attacking end. Ball-ups and throw-ins follow the feed’s recorded restart type. Where the umpire’s location is missing, the restart path is estimated from the first recorded touch and labelled. Pressure and other statistical events update the action panel without moving the ball to that player. Long idle gaps are shortened; the clock always refers to recorded match time. Restarts briefly hold the clock before play continues. Same-time events remain available under “At this moment”, and the score updates when its event arrives. Passage trail pauses playback to show earlier recorded locations. Missing player locations stay unconnected.

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.
