Historical footy graphs

I've now added graphs for AFL seasons back to 1995, which is when the competition was expanded from 14 to 16 teams. Fitzroy was still rumbling along back then, and it's good to be reminded of them by seeing their colours in the graphs.

Just as I finished my many hours of work on this update, I found a new much better source for verifying my data, which would have saved me a lot of time if I'd found it earlier. Does that mean the discovery was bad luck rather than serendipitous, purely because of its lateness?

I am considering doing a summary chart, showing the positions of the clubs at the end of each season, showing 1995 to 2003 on one chart. However, I'm afraid this'll have to be postponed until I can think of a way of doing this that does not involve too much work.
