The '''2011 [[Australian Football League]] season''' was the 115th season of the [[Australian rules football]] competition and the 22nd under the name 'Australian Football League', having switched from 'Victorian Football League' after 1989. It was the debut year for {{AFL GC}}, and was scheduled to be the only season to be played with 17 teams. {{AFL Gee}} beat {{AFL Col}} in the [[2011 AFL Grand Final]] by 38 points.
The '''2011 AFL season''' was the 115th season of the [[Australian Football League]] (AFL), the highest level senior [[Australian rules football]] competition in Australia, which was known as the Victorian Football League until 1989.


The season featured seventeen clubs, with the newly established [[Gold Coast Suns]], based in [[Gold Coast, Queensland]], playing its inaugural season. The season ran from 24 March until 1 October, and comprised a 22-game home-and-away season followed by a [[2011 AFL finals series|finals series]] featuring the top eight clubs.
The season opened on 24 March 2011, with [[Carlton Football Club|Carlton]] defeating [[Richmond Football Club|Richmond]] at the [[Melbourne Cricket Ground]].


The premiership was won by the [[Geelong Football Club]] for the ninth time, after it defeated {{AFL Col}} by 38 points in the [[2011 AFL Grand Final]].
This was the first season since [[1994 AFL season|1994]] to have byes, and only the fourth after the [[1991 AFL season|1991]], [[1992 AFL season|1992]] and [[1994 AFL season|1994]] seasons to feature a 24-round format.<!--The 1993 season, did have byes but was only a 22-round format!--> The full fixture was announced on 29 October 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.afl.com.au/portals/0/afl_docs/fixture_document.pdf|title=2011 AFL fixture|website=afl.com.au|access-date=28 October 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111111192841/http://www.afl.com.au/portals/0/afl_docs/fixture_document.pdf|archive-date=11 November 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Early in the season, it emerged that there were several suspicious [[plunge (gambling)|plunges]] on players who were usually defenders to kick the first goal of a match; in each case, the player unexpectedly started in the forward-line, indicating that the plunges may have been caused by team information somehow leaking to punters. Five suspicious plunges on defenders for the first goal were identified during the season:

==Umpiring and rule changes==
* The AFL introduced a new [[Interchange (Australian rules football)|interchange rule]]. The standard interchange system was reduced from four players to three players. A fourth player is named as a substitute, and begins the game wearing a green vest. The substitute can be brought on at any point in the game, permanently replacing any player on the bench or the field. The player being replaced must wear a red vest when leaving the ground. This rule was predominantly introduced to keep the number of players able to participate in the game for each team equal, even if a severe injury occurs.<ref>{{cite web|last=Witham|first=Jennifer|title=AFL's red-vest rule|url=http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/default.aspx?newsid=107121|publisher=AFL BigPond Network|access-date=28 March 2011|date=31 January 2011}}</ref>

The 2011 AFL season was the 115th season of the Australian Football League (AFL), the highest level senior Australian rules football competition in Australia, which was known as the Victorian Football League until 1989.

The season featured seventeen clubs, with the newly established Gold Coast Suns, based in Gold Coast, Queensland, playing its inaugural season. The season ran from 24 March until 1 October, 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 Geelong Football Club for the ninth time, after it defeated Collingwood by 38 points in the 2011 AFL Grand Final.

Pre-season

[edit]

Draft

[edit]

The 2010 National Draft was held on 18 November 2010 at the Gold Coast Convention Centre.[1] 107 players were drafted, including 28 promoted rookies. New club Gold Coast received the first three selections as part of its draft concessions, and selected David Swallow with the number one draft pick.[2]

The 2011 Pre-season and Rookie Drafts were held on 7 December 2010, with another 80 players being selected. Greater Western Sydney, set to join the AFL as a senior club in 2012, had the first eight selections in the Rookie Draft as part of its draft concessions.[3]

NAB Cup

[edit]

The 2011 NAB Cup featured all seventeen senior clubs, as well as Greater Western Sydney which would not join the AFL as a senior club until 2012. The first round of matches featured lightning football matches played among six pools of three teams; standard matches were played for the rest of the competition. Collingwood defeated Essendon in the Grand Final at Etihad Stadium on Friday, 11 March.

Premiership season

[edit]

The fixture was announced on 29 October.[4] Some of the highlights included:

  • Gold Coast had a bye for the first round and played its first home match in the second round against Carlton at the Gabba. Its first match at its permanent home ground, the renovated Metricon Stadium, was against Geelong on 28 May.
  • The season had 24 rounds; 19 rounds featured eight matches with one team having a bye, and five rounds featured seven matches with three teams having a bye. There were eleven additional matches compared with 2010, giving a total of 196 games including finals, up from 185.[5]
  • Two venues hosted their first AFL matches during the season: Cazaly's Stadium in Cairns hosted the Richmond vs Gold Coast match in round 17, and the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide hosted the Port Adelaide vs Melbourne match in round 24; the latter was not part of the original fixture, and the game was moved there from AAMI Stadium during the season.

Notable events and controversies

[edit]

Betting scandals

[edit]

The issue of betting became prominent during the 2011 season. The previous few years had seen other sports compromised by major spot-fixing scandals – most notably the Pakistan cricket spot-fixing controversy – so the issue was already well publicised at the time. The AFL had in place a strict policy prohibiting anyone involved in the AFL from placing any bet on any AFL outcome.

Early in the season, it emerged that there were several suspicious plunges on players who were usually defenders to kick the first goal of a match; in each case, the player unexpectedly started in the forward-line, indicating that the plunges may have been caused by team information somehow leaking to punters. Five suspicious plunges on defenders for the first goal were identified during the season:

Nathan Bock was the only of the five players to kick the first goal of his respective match. The cases all raised concerns about "exotic bets" and the risk of spot-fixing, although in no case was a deliberate attempt at spot-fixing ever implicated.

The controversy deepened prior to round 17, when the investigation into the Maxwell plunge revealed that Heath Shaw was implicated in bets placed on Maxwell's first goal. Shaw and a friend from outside the Collingwood Football Club were found to have placed a shared $20 bet on Maxwell for first goal at a TAB venue, using Shaw's knowledge from team meetings that Maxwell would be starting forward; that friend had later placed two more bets on Maxwell worth $15, shared with another friend. Shaw was penalised by the league under the anti-gambling code, receiving a suspension of eight matches, with a further suspended sentence of six matches, and was fined $20,000.[75]

In their respective investigations, it was found that both Nick Maxwell and Nathan Bock had informed family members and friends that they would be starting in the forward-line before their respective plunges, and, unbeknownst to the players, those family members and friends then placed bets. Maxwell was fined $5,000, with a further suspended fine of $5,000,[75] and Bock was fined $10,000 and suspended for two matches.[76]

Following round 24, Essendon assistant coach Dean Wallis was found to have placed three separate FootyQuad bets worth a total of $400 during the latter half of the season, one of which included a leg which involved an Essendon match. Wallis was fined $7,500, and suspended for fourteen matches (the suspension prevents him from participating on match-day, and from interacting directly with his players during training, until the suspension is complete).[77]

Umpiring and rule changes

[edit]
  • The AFL introduced a new interchange rule. The standard interchange system was reduced from four players to three players. A fourth player is named as a substitute, and begins the game wearing a green vest. The substitute can be brought on at any point in the game, permanently replacing any player on the bench or the field. The player being replaced must wear a red vest when leaving the ground. This rule was predominantly introduced to keep the number of players able to participate in the game for each team equal, even if a severe injury occurs.[97]
  • The rules for calling "advantage" after a free kick were amended, to allow the players, rather than the umpires, make the decision on whether or not they see an advantage in continuous play.[98]
