The 2014 Australian Football League season was the 118th season of the elite Australian rules football competition.[1]

The premiership season began on 14 March with Collingwood hosting Fremantle at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne.[2][3] The season concluded on 27 September with the AFL Grand Final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with Hawthorn successfully defending their 2013 premiership by defeating Sydney by 63 points.

Matt Priddis won the 2014 Brownlow Medal, voted to be the best and fairest player in the league. Lance Franklin, who transferred from Hawthorn to Sydney after the 2013 season, won the Coleman Medal as the league's leading goal kicker.

Pre-season

NAB Challenge

Main article: 2014 NAB Challenge

The AFL abandoned the NAB Cup competition, replacing it with the NAB Challenge series. The NAB challenge featured 18 practice matches played over 18 consecutive days, beginning 12 February and ending 1 March; the matches were stand-alone in nature, with no overall winner crowned for the series.[4] Each team played two pre-season games, many of which were played at suburban or regional venues; all games were televised on Fox Footy. There had been a proposal to conclude the pre-season with an All-Star representative match, replacing the NAB Cup Grand Final as the centrepiece of the preseason, but this did not go ahead.[5] The Super Goal was retained for these matches.

Premiership season

The full fixture was released on Thursday 31 October 2013,[6] and the premiership season was launched at the redeveloped Adelaide Oval in South Australia on 5 March.[2] Notable features of the draw included:

  • The attendance of 40,936 for the Collingwood vs Carlton was the lowest for a match between the two clubs at the Melbourne Cricket Ground since matches between them were first regularly moved to the ground and away from the clubs' small suburban grounds in 1986; the unconventional Sunday night timeslot, which was unpopular with fans, was the main reason for the weak attendance.[29]

Post-season

International Rules Series

The International Rules Series returned for 2014 at the later time of November. Ahead of the series, the AFL adopted a new rule permitting only those who had been selected in an All-Australian team in their careers playing for the Australian team. The series was also reduced to a single test match and several rule changes were made so as to enable greater participation from key position players in the AFL.[139] Australia defeated Ireland by 10 points, 56-46, to claim their first win in International rules football since the 2010 series.[140]

Saturday, 22 November (5:45pm) Australia 0.17.5 (56) def. Ireland 2.9.7 (46) Patersons Stadium, Perth (crowd: 38,262) Report
