Abstract
The importance of reproducibility, and the related issue of open access to data, has received a lot of recent attention. Momentum on these issues is gathering in the sports analytics community. While Australian Rules football (AFL) is the leading commercial sport in Australia, unlike popular international sports, there has been no mechanism for the public to access comprehensive statistics on players and teams. Expert commentary currently relies heavily on data that isn’t made readily accessible and this produces an unnecessary barrier for the development of an inclusive sports analytics community. We present the R package fitzRoy to provide easy access to AFL statistics.
