TONIGHT’S 2021 Australian Football Hall of Fame is expected to be a groundbreaking affair, with four new faces tipped to be inducted and at least one Legend to be recognised.
Every year there is speculation around the Legends, and since the rules were loosened in 2018, there has also been speculation about when the first female will be inducted.
AFL commission chairman Richard Goyder said at the time the rules were tweaked: “The Hall of Fame does not include any current female members among the many women who have made significant contributions to the growth of the game nationally.
“The revision to allow more than six inductees to be nominated in a year will enable the committee to annually consider both male and female nominations going forward, with all parts of the game to be asked to consider nominations.”
