The Australian Football Hall of Fame was established in 1996, the centenary year of the Australian Football League (AFL), to recognise people who have made significant contributions to Australian rules football. Its scope includes players, coaches, umpires, administrators and media representatives from any level of the game since 1858.[1]

The inaugural induction comprised 136 people, 12 of whom were named Legends.[2] At the 2026 ceremony, six people were inducted and Bill Walker became the 34th person elevated to Legend status.[3]

Selection

[edit]

Selection criteria

[edit]

The selection committee considers a candidate's record, ability, integrity, sportsmanship and character. The number of games played, coached or umpired, or the length of service by an administrator or media representative, is a consideration but is not determinative. Candidates may come from any Australian state or territory and from any Australian football competition.[1]

Players in men's competitions become eligible after they have been retired for at least five years, while coaches, umpires, administrators and media representatives become eligible after retirement.[1] Since 2024, AFL Women's players may be considered one year after retirement.[4]

The official selection criteria provide that:

  • a candidate's outstanding service and overall contribution to Australian football are to be considered;
  • a candidate's individual record, ability, integrity, sportsmanship and character may be considered;
  • games played, coached or umpired, and years of service, are considerations but are not determinative;
  • a player, coach, umpire, administrator or media representative involved at any level of Australian football may be eligible;
  • candidates are assessed on their overall contribution to Australian football rather than on one aspect alone.[1]

In 2010, the Hall of Fame charter was amended. The principal changes were:[5]

  • The maximum number of inductees in a year was reduced from eight to six. This change was reversed in 2018.[6]
  • The minimum number of inductees who had retired within the preceding 10 years was reduced from three to two. This requirement was removed in 2018.[6]
  • The requirement to induct at least one umpire, administrator or media representative each year was changed to at least one person from those categories every two years. In 2018, the retirement requirement for media representatives and administrators was removed.[6]
  • The selection committee was made independent of the AFL Commission, with the committee's recommendations requiring the commission's endorsement rather than approval.
  • Selectors were appointed to an initial three-year term and could be reappointed for two further three-year terms, for a maximum of nine years.
  • At least 25 per cent of the selection committee was required to reside outside Victoria.

Selection committee

[edit]

In 2026, the selection committee was chaired by AFL Commission chair Craig Drummond. The other selectors were Graham Cornes, James Gallagher, Ross Glendinning, Debbie Lee, Karen Lyon, Andrew McLeod, Simon Madden, Alister Nicholson and Michael O'Loughlin, with Patrick Keane serving as secretary.[3]

Legends

[edit]

The Legends category is reserved for inductees whose playing or coaching records are judged to have had a particularly significant positive impact on Australian football. It is the highest honour within the Hall of Fame and is restricted to players and coaches.[1][7]

Although most Legends made their principal contributions in the VFL/AFL, the list also recognises careers centred in the SANFL, WAFL and Tasmanian competitions.[7][3]

As of 2026, 34 people had been elevated to Legend status. This is numerically equivalent to approximately one Legend for every 393 players in VFL/AFL history (approximately 0.26%), although the distinction is rarer still when the broader history of Australian football—including leagues outside the VFL/AFL as well as coaches—are taken into account.[3][8] Barry Cable was one of the 34 people elevated, but his Legend status was revoked in 2023.[9]

The Hall of Fame charter limits Legends to a maximum of 10 per cent of all inductees and provides that only playing and coaching records may be considered for elevation.[5]

Media

[edit]

The media category recognises football journalists, broadcasters and commentators.[18]

Administrators

[edit]

The administrators category recognises service to clubs, leagues and the national administration of the game.[19]

Pioneers

[edit]

The Pioneers category was created in 2013 to recognise people who played pivotal roles in establishing Australian football in its earliest years. Four pioneers were inducted in 2014 and three in 2017.[21]

Induction ceremony

[edit]

New inductees and Legend elevations are normally announced at the annual Australian Football Hall of Fame induction dinner. The first ceremony was held in Melbourne in 1996 as part of the AFL's centenary celebrations.[2]

As of 2026, the ceremony had been staged outside Melbourne twice: in Canberra in 2013, when the centenary of Australian football in the Australian Capital Territory was commemorated, and at Adelaide Oval in 2017.[22]

In 2020, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the dinner was replaced by a four-night series of televised presentations.[23] The 2021 induction was also conducted as a broadcast-only event because pandemic restrictions prevented an in-person ceremony.[24]

Induction locations

Criticism

[edit]
Until 2021, Barrie Robran was the only Legend who had not played club football in Victoria, a circumstance cited in criticism of the Hall of Fame's historical Victorian emphasis.

The Hall of Fame has been criticised for a perceived bias towards figures from Victoria and for the under-representation of prominent figures from other states and earlier eras. In 2011, Western Australian football historian and former selector Brian Atkinson described the Hall's pro-Victorian bias as "incredible", while Brian Peake criticised the difficulty faced by Western Australian candidates seeking recognition.[27]

In 2022, InDaily discussed the limited recognition afforded to prominent South Australian and early-era figures. The article cited ABC sports reporter James Coventry, who had noted in 2018 that 17 of the 28 people then recognised as Legends had been active as players or coaches in 1969.[28]

InDaily quoted Coventry as saying:[28]

I would never suggest Kevin Sheedy is not a worthy Legend, he absolutely is, but you have to think something's gone seriously wrong with past selection for the #HallofFame to now be in a position where 17 of its 28 Legends were active in 1969.

Declined inductions

[edit]

In 2021, Adam Goodes and Garry McIntosh declined induction into the Hall of Fame.

Goodes declined because of what he regarded as the AFL's inadequate support and remedial action in response to the racial abuse he experienced during the final years of his playing career.[29][30] McIntosh said that he "did not play the game for personal honours".[31]

Removed inductees

[edit]

Barry Cable was removed from the Hall of Fame on 27 June 2023 and had his Legend status revoked after he was found civilly liable for sexually abusing a child.[9]

Nicky Winmar was removed from the Hall of Fame with immediate effect on 14 July 2026 after he was found guilty of three assault charges involving violence against a woman.[32]
