AFL Tables Scraper - AFL Match Results, Player Stats, Ladders & Brownlow Votes

The AFL Tables Scraper extracts AFL match results, player statistics, season ladders and Brownlow Medal votes from AFL Tables, every AFL and VFL season from 1897 to today. For every match it returns the round, date, start time, venue, attendance, home and away team, final score, goals and behinds, quarter-by-quarter score progression, winner and margin; for every player the games, kicks, marks, handballs, disposals, goals, behinds, hit outs, tackles, inside 50s, clearances and more; for every team the ladder position, wins, draws, losses, points for and against, percentage and premiership points; and for every Brownlow Medal player the votes and the rounds they polled in. Results are returned as structured JSON, ready to export to CSV or Excel. No login is required and it works without a proxy.

Key Features of the AFL Stats Scraper

• Match results - every home-and-away and finals match of a season, with scores, venue, attendance, winner, margin and score by quarter. Pick one round, or the whole season.
• Player statistics - season totals for every player, grouped by team: games, kicks, handballs, disposals, marks, goals, tackles, clearances, inside 50s, contested possessions and more.
• Season ladder - the final standings of any season with home and away records, goals and behinds for and against, percentage and premiership points.
• Brownlow Medal votes - total votes, 3-2-1 vote games, games polled and the rounds each player polled in (1924 onwards).
• Team filter - only return one team, for example Collingwood or Brisbane Lions.
• Finals and byes options - include or leave out finals matches, and optionally list the teams that had a bye each round.
• Pick pages by URL - paste AFL Tables season, player statistics or Brownlow Medal page links instead of choosing a season.
• Caching between runs - give the run a project name and later runs of the same project skip items already returned, so a weekly run returns only new matches.
• Proxy support - runs without a proxy; one can be enabled if you want.

How to Scrape AFL Tables

1. Sign up for a free Apify account - includes $5 monthly credit.
2. Open the actor page and click Try for free.
3. Choose what to scrape and a season, or paste AFL Tables page links into the start URLs.
4. Click Start and wait for the run to complete.
5. Download results from the Output tab in JSON, CSV, or Excel format.

You can also run this actor via the Apify API or integrate it directly into your workflows using Zapier, Make, or n8n.

Limitations & Known Issues

• Season-level player statistics only - player statistics are the season totals per team, not game-by-game lines. Players who changed club mid-season appear once per club.
• Older seasons have fewer statistics - disposals and most other counts were not recorded in the early decades (for example 1925 and 1950 have no disposals), so those fields are returned as null rather than zero.
• Brownlow Medal starts in 1924 - earlier seasons have no votes. Players who polled votes but were ineligible for the medal are marked isEligible: false.
• Brownlow team is a club code - the Brownlow page only gives the short club code (for example CA), so use teamSlug for a readable club name.
• Home and away follow the site - the first team listed on AFL Tables is returned as the home team, including in finals.
• Opening-round layout - the site lists some seasons' opening-round matches under Round 1 with the other clubs shown as byes (2024 for example); this Actor returns them as the site shows them.

Notes

• Works without a proxy - the site is public and needs no login; a proxy is optional.
• API integration - this actor can be called as an API from any automation platform (Zapier, Make, n8n, custom scripts).
• Scores are in points - goals count 6 points and behinds 1 point; homeScore always equals goals x 6 plus behinds.
