AFL Widget for Testing (Yahoo!)
This widget was made possible by FootyJumpers.com who supplied the jumper images used throughout the widget. It works in the same fashion as the NHL and NFL widgets work and offers many of the same options.The main function shows the results and fixtures for the season which are sectioned off by round. You can select and traverse the rounds using the button and arrows on the bottom. Night games and day games are shown with different graphics and the ball is placed in front of the winner when the games have concluded. Scores are updated after the games and are not live.
Using the preference panel, selected from the menu when you right click on the widget, you can select your team, change the color of the widget, the color of the scrollbar, and choose your time zone. The three Australian time zones are available as well as GMT for the rest of the world.
You can show the fixture for your team (for the season) as well as show a list of stats. These include the team's record, goals for, goals against and percentage. Your chosen team's guernsey will appear in the dock along with their record which is updated each time you update the widget. (Done by clicking on the refresh arrow located on the bottom right hand corner of the widget.)
The ladder is included and is automatically updated as game results are updated. It shows team records, points and the cut-off line for the Finals.
And finally, for people who constantly look up these types of things (myself being one) you can show the Premiers for every AFL and VFL season. These you can show listed by year or by team.
This widget is essentially version 1.0 and has been tested on both a Mac and a PC and seems to be free of any real problems. It is for Version 4.0 of the Yahoo! Widget Engine and will not work on earlier versions. A Dashboard version will be made in the near future.
This widget is no longer available or being updated...

this widget is very good but I would like to see the percentage of each team- not just my own team.
go wce!
You can see each team's percentage if you select to view their stats (which I admit is not the most effective way to get an overall view of the league). I didn't include them in the ladder because of the limited amount of space. I could look into changing that a bit to fit them in.
This is essentially a test version still, as I'm still looking for an ideal format, so your comments are helpful.
