BallEarlier in this passage

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 passage

      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.

      Conversion = goals ÷ attempts with a known outcome. Unknown outcomes are excluded from that percentage. Distances and angles are estimates; small samples can be misleading.

        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.
