THE AFL has confirmed the 2021 Australian Football Hall of Fame induction will be held as a broadcast event commencing at 8:30pm AEST on Tuesday, August 24.
https://www.afl.com.au/news/662867/afl- ... fame-event

So... Tomorrow night. At 8:30.

No formal event, but still a virtual/broadcast event.

We'll see how many Legends get elevated after talk of elevating those deemed worthy from the pre-1960s earlier in the year.

We need some good news this year.

Still waiting for Dick Lee to be elevated to "legend" status.

The man deserves to be recognised.
