The2014 AFL season was the 118th season of theAustralian Football League (AFL), the highest level seniorAustralian rules football competition in Australia, which was known as the Victorian Football League until 1989. The season featured eighteen clubs, ran from 14 March until 27 September, and comprised a 22-game home-and-away season followed by afinals series featuring the top eight clubs.
The premiership was won by theHawthorn Football Club for the twelfth time and second time consecutively, after it defeatedSydney by 63 points in the2014 AFL Grand Final.
From 2014, the AFL abandoned thepre-season premiership, which since 1988 had seen practice matches combined with a (usually knock-out) tournament ending with a winning club. Instead and since, the pre-season has featured a series of stand-alone practice matches. Known as the 2014 NAB Challenge, the series featured 27 practice matches played over 25 days, beginning 26 February and ending 22 March.[1] Each team played three pre-season games, many of which were played at suburban or regional venues, with most games televised onFox Footy. The nine-pointsuper goal was used in these matches.
