What's meant by disqualifications?
Have just finished off a fairly big project which is less about historical research and more about trying to archive what we currently have online. I've dubbed it "Saving SportingPulse".
As we know, the AFL has pushed the (inferior) PlayHQ product on to all leagues from 2022 onwards, with I believe 99% of local leagues now using the platform as of 2024. However, a lot of their historical results were posted via GameDay (formerly SportsTG/Fox Sports Pulse/SportingPulse) and with the site now starting to fade and break before our eyes, I thought it pertinent to save what was still available on the live web so that that data is easily accessible when archiving scores (for instance, to AustralianFootball.com) in the future.
I've saved MHTML files for every regular season, finals and ladder page for every league in every state & territory that was ever posted on SportingPulse. It was a fairly Herculean manual task and probably took around 50 hours of work. The result is a collection of files and folders spanning more than 10GB. It's too large to share in one go, but if any researchers have any interest in particular parts of the data, chuck me a PM and I'm more than happy to see how I can get it across to you.
Cheers!
How far back does your monumental effort go? (What is the earliest year you have on record?)
To give an idea about the Sporting Pulse, a few years back I used the records on this, the Country Football Scores Website, Phils World, and the Age to come up with scores and ladders of Victorian Country Football Leagues Scores and Ladders. Hope the following helps.
Is there a SANFl data base for games played?
I can't work out if Max George (Central District)
played from Round 6 to Round 8 in 1981
after that he's with West Torrens

Time for the main course.
Approximately 11,921 goals were kicked and approximately 22,402 unofficial behinds registered across 1406 games.
11,921 goals at a nib over 4 goals per team.
Earlier in the year, I was researching the clubs of origin for all players who played in the AFC night series.
I can confirm that the Geraldton Guardian has no record of Max George playing in Geraldton in 1977 and no record of him transferring to Swan Districts. Before his first match for Swans in June 1977, he had been training with them for a number of weeks.
My VFL Reserves project is now complete. All scores have been found, and ladders have been created from the results. From the mid 30s onwards, all ladder positions agree with sources such as the Football Record and The Age. There are some minor discrepancies before this, but number of wins draws and losses are correct. Official records do not show percentages early, and it would seem any side outside of the Final Four were not always named in correct sequence.
Most games have been given where they played with a very small few exceptions during the Second World War.
I have also included quarter by quarter scores where known, and goalkickers - 7 goals or more.
Enjoy - any constructive feedback is welcome.
1897-1903 now done.
1904-1908 VFA/VFL seasons now done.
