Jewish Australian Rules Football (AFL) player Harry Sheezel has equalled the all-time AFL disposal record, with 54 disposals in today’s game against the Richmond Tigers. Almost as big as having a Jewish player in the AFL to begin with (there have been only about 11 Jewish players in the 100+ years of the sport). What’s more, Harry Sheezel is a proud Jew who has been the target of online antisemitic abuse. Harry Sheezel just equalled the VFL/AFL record for the most disposals in a game! #AFLNorthTigers pic.twitter.com/ulZQTbXXGy — AFL (@AFL) August 17, 2025With all the doom and gloom Jews around the world are feeling, it is important to celebrate the good news and successes.
