Rule changes


The following amendments were made to the Laws of the Game for the 2017 season:[1]


  • Rules relating to around-the-ground ruck contests were amended such that only the nominated ruckman for each team is permitted in the contest, eliminating the option for another player to enter the contest and take the tap, otherwise known as the "third man up" strategy.[2] This was done to make ruck contests easier to adjudicate, to reduce the risk of injuries to ruckmen, and to increase the value of the skill of ruckwork.[2]

  • A more stringent interpretation of deliberate rushed behinds was introduced, by allowing the umpire to consider prior opportunity, distance from the goal line and degree of applied pressure when judging whether or not to pay a free kick.

  • Adjustments were made to the interpretation of high tackles, giving the umpire more discretion to call play-on when he deems that the tackled player is responsible for the high contact. This was introduced to discourage the practice of ducking into a tackle, dropping the knees when tackled or trying to shrug off a tackle to earn a free kick.[3]

  • A more stringent interpretation of punches to the body was introduced to the match review panel and tribunal to allow for suspensions to be imposed; and to allow fines to be imposed for low impact jumper punches.


Pre-season



JLT Community Series


Main article: 2017 JLT Community Series

The pre-season series of matches returned in 2017 as the newly renamed JLT Community Series, which featured 27 practice matches played over 25 days, beginning on 16 February and ending on 12 March. The matches were stand-alone, with no overall winner of the series. Each team played three games, many at suburban or regional venues, while all games were televised on Fox Footy.



Premiership season


Notable features of the draw include:


  • The naming rights of York Park were bought by the University of Tasmania from Aurora Energy in the week prior to the full fixture being released, with the venue becoming known as the University of Tasmania Stadium.[4]


  • Greater Western Sydney sold the naming rights for Manuka Oval during the AFL season to the University of New South Wales, and the stadium will be known as the UNSW Canberra Oval.[5]


  • North Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs played in the AFL's first ever Good Friday match, which was played at Etihad Stadium.[6][7]


  • Port Adelaide and Gold Coast competed in the first AFL premiership match outside Australia and New Zealand when they played in round 8 at Jiangwan Stadium in Shanghai, China, with the match televised live on the Seven Network.[8][9] Both teams had a bye the following round, while the remaining sixteen teams had their byes from rounds 11 to 13.[10]

  • Due to redevelopment, Simonds Stadium was unavailable until round 9.[11]

  • The Western Bulldogs competed in the first AFL premiership match to be played at Mars Stadium in Ballarat when they faced Port Adelaide in round 22. The match was also the first AFL premiership match in a Victorian regional venue (other than Geelong) since a one-off round of promotional matches held in 1952.[12]

  • All starting times are local.

  • The overall combined home and away attendance of 6,732,601 is the highest overall attendance for any home and away season, surpassing 2011's figure of 6,525,071.[42]


  • Adelaide recorded the longest unbeaten start to a season in club history, winning its first six games.[43]


  • Sydney was the first reigning grand finalist in VFL/AFL history to lose its first six matches of the following season,[44] before becoming the first club to reach the finals after starting the season with zero wins and six losses.[45]


  • Western Bulldogs became the first team since Hawthorn in 2009 and the first team in the 18 team competition to fail to make the finals after winning the premiership the previous year and Hawthorn missed the finals for the first time since 2009.[46]


  • Essendon became the first team since West Coast in 2011 to qualify for the finals after finishing wooden spooners the previous season.[47]


  • West Coast reached the finals at the expense of Melbourne on percentage by 0.48 percentage points, a difference equivalent to only nine on-field points. It is the narrowest margin in VFL/AFL history to decide a finals spot.[citation needed]

  • This was the last season in which games were played at Domain Stadium, with the Western Australian teams playing home games at Perth Stadium from 2018 and onwards.[48]


  • Adelaide's record of 15 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses is the least successful of any minor premier since 1997.

International Rules Series


Main article: 2017 International Rules Series

The International Rules Series returned in November 2017, with Australia hosting two test matches. The series was played on an aggregate-points basis, with the winner being the team that scores the highest amount over the two test matches. The matches were played on 12 and 18 November 2017 at Adelaide Oval and Domain Stadium. The Australian team was again composed exclusively of players who have won All-Australian honours in their careers.[160] The times and venues for the series were announced in August.[161]
