      How to read the replay

      Drag to pan or pinch to zoom. Select Follow play to track the contest, or Passage trail to see earlier recorded positions.

      The red ball follows recorded disposals and touches. Flights and umpire movements are illustrated. An amber section marks the approximate boundary area when the ball goes out. A dashed oval means the crossing point is unknown. Missing player locations stay unconnected. The replay labels estimated restarts and uses the verified attacking end for goals.

      A dotted ring and FREE WON · EST. mark an estimated free-kick location based on the winner’s next disposal or immediately preceding possession.

      The clock shows match time. At 1×, long idle gaps are shortened to about five seconds. When a restart lands on the next recorded touch, that touch appears on landing. Pressure and other events can update the cards while the ball stays with its last known player. Open At this moment for events recorded at the same time.

      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.
