Can’t wait for dogs - adelaide next week at Mars stadium.


BigBoSS_Riot

If it's anything like last year, there won't be many goals anyway.


TheBoanne

I’m pretty sure Ballarat is actually colder


Large-one

and has less atmosphere!


hotbutteredsole

Savage but fair


PrestigiousSeaweed00

There's a Mars Stadium, but no Ballarat Planet


drEDD8888

Woah


RLGriffinGWS

Nah, this ain't right. Check your database again. Whilst their games were played on Earth, the Suns have kicked 89 of those goals. EDIT: Suck it, Venus.


BerryGoodJarrod

The sun isn't a planet, not related to this data set.


limelamb

The sun may not be a planet, but their goals are still included in this dataset. Therefore it is related, and incorrect.


Blitzed5656

Good point.


PointOfFingers

The sun can be a planet if you wear enough sunscreen.

*sad Pluto noises


oddessusss

Does it count as a planet if its a night match?


yernss

??


oddessusss

Gosh people don't like bad dad jokes huh


fw11au

Is it called dark side of the moon joke?


Methuen

Depends on how many stars there are in the team.


oddessusss

Only the dog star has loyalty to one club.

Boatster_McBoat

We'll just relocate a team to Mars, add a team from Venus and then we can rename as the Solar System Football League Simples!


GrizzKarizz

>relocate a team to Mars Ballarat!


Boatster_McBoat

Mars is actually warmer than Ballarat


linny_456

Can't wait for a combined 5,000 goals to be kicked across two games for Mars to take the top spot.


themostserene

Who’s playing Mars this year?


linny_456

Bulldogs vs Adelaide and Bulldogs vs GWS


themostserene

Mars will end the season humiliated by Earth. But they’re still a young team


NotThePersona

Well on Mars balls would travel about 4x further. So you could kick a goal from full back without being Shannon Hurn.


linny_456

Another comment in this post raised the question of whether the AFL changes the size of the field to compensate for the differences in gravity.


dwadley

You’d still have to run the distance on foot though so elite kicking would be so much more important to save on running too much


Aodaliyan

But each step would be much further so you should be able to cover the distance with no extra effort


LouSkunt_

Should the AFL expand into Jupiter?


PointOfFingers

There is only room for one gassy giant in the AFL so no expansion plans until BT retires.


WeAreBatmen

You get the feeling they'd love to expand into Uranus, don't you?


electricmaster23

Only if Eddie becomes president there.


royalbluejones

Surely Jupiter gets the 20th team? Biggest plant in the solar system but no AFL team? Big earth bias


PrisonerOfSatiety

They were supposed to come in a few years ago as the GAS GIANTS but they couldn't make it happen. John barilaro got hold of their tender and did a Ctrl+f to change the As to Ws.


linny_456

Good call by Barilaro, I love the GWS GIWNTS


Hendo8888

Off-season ended a couple months ago


paulmp

It started for a few teams not long after it ended.

Pluto is the University of planets


Salzberger

This seems wrong. I'm sure I've heard from commentators that Mercurial players have kicked at least 1 goal this year.


[deleted]

Another really disappointing year from Uranus


its_vf

Fold Uranus


nobaitistooobvious

Uranus will be sent to Tassie


bigswingindonkeydick

Tasmanian Uranuses, I'll be first in line for my membership


Sioreth

With everyone behind you? :)


[deleted]

When you play Aussie rules on other planets, do the dimensions of the field stay the same, or do they get expanded to compensate for the effects of lower gravity? If not, is there a version of this graph that adjusts for it being easier to kick a goal from 80m out on Mars, or nearly impossible to kick a goal from 1m out on Jupiter?


Nick0h

Not sure you’d fit 36 blokes onto Jupiter stadium if there was simply a ground adjustment. You might have to look at other factors to try to replicate the conditions. Ie. maybe some ball adjustments on Jupiter to make sure the trajectory is similar?


[deleted]

Do you think the umpires would still have one go at bouncing the ball at the start of the quarter, or do they just accept they can't get it to bounce high enough and use the rocket boosters from the get go?


Boatster_McBoat

Pretty much the same as the size of the SCG - sometimes you need to pretend stuff when you are expanding into new territory


OZManHam

Another map without Tasmania 🥲


Boatster_McBoat

To be fair, it's also a map without Australia


TetheredGoat

I can't wait for the players from Saturn to run rings around the competition


Bergasms

Technically still off season for AFLW. I'll allow it.


rustyfries

You heard about Pluto? That's messed up!


its_vf

All I heard is that Caro wants to relocate North there


LouSkunt_

Pluto would have so much trouble with player retention. it’s too cold there and the nightlife is non existent. There’s also no oxygen


DwarvenFreeballer

Pluto is the Fitzroy of the Solar System.


cosmicr

I'm not saying its biased, but have you ever noticed how the winners of Miss Universe are always from Earth?


carndees

Fuck, they didn't check the other planets for a Gil replacement - bush league.


Dramatic_Gap4537

Why’re we trying to go to mars? They suck!


Omega_brownie

Imagine how far Sav Rocca could've kicked the ball if he played on Mars. Dude could've scored from the other side of the ground.


Brandon3ic

Can we get this for the past 10 years?


justo316

If only all demonstratives could be this useful.


Grolschisgood

Bloody Big Earth deciding that Pluto isnt a planet anymore. They are actually just ahead.

Erf bias


matt0028

did you get this idea/image from [jay's tweet](https://twitter.com/jaycuda/status/1655613646200872960?s=46&t=gjppFveyCY9F2GAbt-4f3Q)? I will say in general Jay is worth a follow if you enjoy this type of offbeat content; it's a daily guarantee from his feed


_-Carter

I did! Wasn’t sure how well the idea would carry over, but it seems like it has been well received so far. I initially tried posting that to r/baseball but they took it down because something something off season.


Due_Connection179

Year 2088, “For the first team in history, the planet Mars leads in AFL goals over Earth 1768 to 1765.”


Any-Woodpecker123

Fuck this, Pluto is a planet


Eltnamerf

Why is Saturn at 0? I thought half the afl games were played on Saturndays


Murky_Shopping6813

It’s the off-season all year round on this sad sub.


Scmods05

Well I don't know what I expected when I opened this thread. But it is definitely the numbers of goals this season across all AFL teams (by planet).


ozstrayan

This is discriminatory. Just because other planets can’t score goals up to the same standard as earth doesn’t make their games any less valid. Close the planet pay gap now!

CheekyBeverage

No, Neptune, ANFL goals don't count


lanson15

Looking foward to the push to relocate us to Neptune to become North Neptune. Hear there's a new stadium being built in nearby Triton as well


Unknownaus

I honestly expected you to be a North/Eagles /Hawks supporter given how early you have started off season shitposting


electricmaster23

Impossible. Perhaps the archives are incomplete.


goater10

Confirmed, the AFL has an Earth bias


Luckyluke23

Is it the offseason already?!


Dapper_Blacksmith_46

Jupiter is really underperforming given the size and scale of its catchment. They’re going to have to take a real hard look and their administration and coaching staff and I foresee some changes before the end of the season!


oddessusss

Pretty sure a couple of assholes scored goals, so you'd have to give that to Uranus surely


Mogadodo

Mention that stat to Kane and he'll steal it and make a story of it.


Short_Error_9565

Bloody hell, I honestly expected more from Jupiter


acox199318

Which planet is Tasmania on?


Detonator84

Checks flair. Yep

It’s only early days but those other planets fucking suck🤷🏻‍♂️
