The 2019 AFL season was the 123rd season of the Australian Football League (AFL), the highest level senior men's Australian rules football competition in Australia, which was known as the Victorian Football League until 1989. The season featured eighteen clubs, ran from 21 March until 28 September, and comprised a 22-game home-and-away season followed by a finals series featuring the top eight clubs.
The premiership was won by the Richmond Football Club for the twelfth time, after it defeated Greater Western Sydney by 89 points in the 2019 AFL Grand Final.
There were several alterations to the laws of the game in 2019:[1]
The AFL confirmed in December 2018 that the modified version of the sport, known as AFLX, would return in the 2019 pre-season.[2] Unlike the 2018 competition, no AFL clubs took part in the event, with four all-star teams being picked by four high-profile players: Patrick Dangerfield (captain of the Bolts), Eddie Betts (Deadlys), Nat Fyfe (Flyers) and Jack Riewoldt (Rampage).[2] The tournament occurred at Marvel Stadium, Melbourne on 22 February 2019 and was won by the Rampage.[3]
The pre-season series of games returned as the 2019 JLT Community Series, with teams playing two games each. The games were stand-alone, with no overall winner of the series. Each team played two games, many at suburban or regional venues, while all games were televised on Fox Footy.
Notable features of the draw included:
2019 marked the first year of games being broadcast in 4K resolution, with a total of 46 ultra-high-definition games being shown on Foxtel.[7]
