In 1990, the Victorian Football League was renamed as the Australian Football League (AFL) due to its national expansion, incorporating teams from states other than Victoria. This also coincided with the more equitable approaches to team development, such as the AFL Draft (introduced in 1986), Salary Cap (introduced in 1987) and abolition of the existing zone-based recruiting that had created vastly unbalanced periods of competition and disproportionate wealth and success amongst the clubs[1]. As a result, there has been an increase in public and media attention to the relevancy and fairness of AFL-era statistics.[2], in preference over the inherent historic nepotism of state-based leagues[3]
