How a perfect AFL season works

Every round spins up one era and lays out the players who actually played it, real season statistics on every card. You fill the ruck, the midfield, the forwards and the defenders. Then the year plays out round by round, era-fair ratings driving the scoreboard, until you drop one. Win all 23 home-and-away games and the three finals and the board reads a perfect 26-0.

Do AFL sides actually go undefeated?

Not once, through a complete season. Collingwood swept the 1929 home-and-away season 18-0 and won the flag, but lost a final along the way. The best full-season record belongs to Essendon in 2000 at 24-1. A clean 26-0, home-and-away plus the finals, is the bar this game sets.

Questions people actually ask

Has an AFL team ever gone undefeated?

Not once, through a complete season. Collingwood swept the 1929 home-and-away season 18-0 and won the flag, but lost a final along the way. The best full-season record belongs to Essendon in 2000 at 24-1.

What would a 26-0 AFL season be?

Every game of the year: 23 home-and-away rounds, then three finals to the flag. Twenty-six wins, zero losses.

How do I build an all-time AFL side?

Every round deals you one era and the footballers who actually played in it, each card carrying that season's real numbers. Ruck, midfield, forward line and defence all have to be filled, and a single weak post will cost a loaded side games it ought to win.

Is there an AFL undefeated season game?

This is one. It plays free in the browser: draft your all-time side, then the season simulates round by round until you lose one or hold up the cup at 26-0.

Which players can I draft?

Every era of the VFL and AFL, each player-season rated on how good it actually was against its own year. Each club chapter is identified by its city and years, which fixes the eligible roster era.

Do I need an account?

None needed. It runs in the browser and your sides are kept locally on whatever you played them on.
