By NOTE: This version of the AFL Ladder Widget has been superseded and is no longer available. Please visit the AFL Widget Ladder home page to download the latest version.
Here’s my first attempt at an OS X Tiger Dashboard widget. It loads and displays the current Australian Rules Football season ladder and provides a link to each team’s website, that’s about the long and the short of it.
Here’s how it looks when it’s running:
Get the widget for free here or click on the icon below to start downloading.
Mac OS X v.10.4 Tiger is required. If you’re using Safari, click the download link. When the widget download is complete, show Dashboard, click the Plus sign to display the Widget Bar and click the widget’s icon in the Widget Bar to open it.
If you’re using a browser other than Safari, click the download link. When the widget download is complete, unarchive it and place it in /Library/Widgets/ in your home folder. Show Dashboard, click the Plus sign to display the Widget Bar and click the widget’s icon in the Widget Bar to open it.
Feel free to contact me if you have any comments, questions or requests!

tom, i’m a graphic designer that also had the idea to create an AFL ladder widget but looks like you beat me to it.
if you want help with any graphics and want to ‘pretty up’ the design to make it more AFL like i’d be happy to help.
cheers,

Love your widget, great to have to have some AFL on my Dashboard. Go Tiges!
Any chance of a NRL widget?
I’ll second Ben’s request for an NRL widget.
Ben & Gordon,
In theory it should be fairly easy to make an NRL widget similar to the AFL widget, so I might get around to creating one, but don’t expect it for at least couple of weeks, probably closer to a month.
I’ll also admit to originally being from an AFL-only state so an NRL widget isn’t high on my list of priorities!
Hey great widget, I have an idea though, not sure how hard it would be, but is it possible to create a next round widget from this website. http://afl.com.au/default.asp?pg=premiership
If this was possible that would make my day.
