Every time and everywhere an AFL side takes to the field, it is shadowed by an army of statisticians and number crunchers. The information they gather has become the sport's new language and currency. ABC journalist James Coventry, author of the acclaimed \u003cem\u003eTime and Space\u003c\/em\u003e, has joined forces with a group of razor-sharp analysts to decipher the data, and to use it to question some of football's long-held truisms.

And are Victorians the most passionate fans?
