Australian Football League Australian rules football competition

The Australian Football League (AFL) is the pre-eminent professional competition of Australian rules football. Through the AFL Commission, the AFL also serves as the sport's governing body, and is responsible for controlling the laws of the game. The league was founded as the Victorian Football League (VFL) as a breakaway from the previous Victorian Football Association (VFA), with its inaugural season commencing in 1897. Originally comprising only teams based in the Australian state of Victoria, the competition's name was changed to the Australian Football League for the 1990 season, after expanding to other states throughout the 1980s.

Sudholz was a strongly built full-forward from the Victorian town of Rupanyup and made his debut for South Melbourne in 1966. He topped the club's goal kicking for four successive seasons from 1967 to 1970. His best season tally was 60 goals in 1970 in what was a good year for forwards with three of them kicking over 100, Hudson, McKenna and Jesaulenko.
