The website contains listings for every match since the AFL's inception in 1897 as the Victorian Football League (VFL), as well as individual profiles for the 13,000-plus players to have taken the field in that time. Despite its rudimentary layout and unofficial status, AFL Tables has acted as a de facto source of truth for the league's historical data in the absence of an official online record. It is regularly referenced by Australian news media such as the Herald Sun and The Age, and on occasion its data has been sourced by the AFL itself for analytical articles on its website, AFL.com.au.[2][3][4]
