==Premiership season==
The draw for the 2010 AFL Premiership Season was produced by the AFL with the intention of producing a balanced draw while also providing the fans and television networks with blockbuster games. In a competition with 16 teams and 22 rounds, it is not possible for all teams to play each other twice. These factors combine to create some of the following anomalies:<ref>{{cite web|first=Ben|last=Broad|title=Luck of the draw|date=30 October 2009|url=http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/86496/default.aspx|publisher=AFL BigPond Network|access-date=12 March 2010|url-status=dead| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100212095629/http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/86496/default.aspx| archive-date= 12 February 2010 <!--DASHBot-->}}</ref>
===Round 1 (Season Launch)===
*Six teams played each other for the first time in round 21;
<ref>{{cite web|title=2010 fixture|author=AFL|url=http://www.afl.com.au/premiership%20fixture/tabid/10586/default.aspx}}</ref>
*Of the Victorian-based teams {{AFL|StK}} played six games interstate while {{AFL Ess}} travelled only three times;
*{{AFL Ric}} v {{AFL Car}} will be the third consecutive AFL season opener. It is also the fourth consecutive year the sides have played each other in the opening round.
*Of the six games {{AFL Fre}} played in Melbourne, none were at the [[MCG]], while defending premiers {{AFL Gee}} played seven games at the [[MCG]] despite not being one of the tenants at this ground;
*AFL Premiers {{AFL Gee}} will start their title defence against {{AFL Ess}} after the AFL decided to stop the Grand Final Rematch in Round 1.
*{{AFL BL}} and {{AFL WCE}} will be [[Brendan Fevola]]'s 1st match with his new club.
*{{AFL NM}} and {{AFL|PA}} played only two of 2009's top eight teams twice, while {{AFL Ess}} and {{AFL Col}} played five of these teams twice.
*{{AFL WB}} v {{AFL Col}} will be [[Brad Johnson]]'s 350th Match.

*Round 13 was a split round, played over two weeks to give each club one week's break at roughly midseason.
*In its first rematch since the [[2009 AFL Grand Final]], {{AFL|StK}} and {{AFL Gee}} set a new record crowd for a home and away game between the two clubs (58,208).
*Geelong was held goalless in the second half against St Kilda, the first time since 2001 that the club had been goalless in a half of football.
*The game between Geelong and St Kilda was notable for the spiteful clashes between Geelong forward [[Steve Johnson (Australian footballer)|Steve Johnson]] and St Kilda tagger [[Steven Baker (Australian footballer)|Steven Baker]]; Johnson was twice cited for striking Baker, and was suspended for three weeks, while Baker was cited three times for striking Johnson and once for misconduct (deliberately punching Johnson in his broken hand), and was suspended for nine weeks.<ref>{{cite web|title=Match review panel: round 13, part two |url=http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/97074/default.aspx |publisher=AFL BigPond Network |access-date=18 October 2010 |date=28 June 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100630012828/http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/97074/default.aspx |archive-date=30 June 2010 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Matthews|first=Bruce|title=Saints decide against appeal of Steven Baker's nine-week suspension|url=http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/cats-accept-steve-johnson-cameron-mooney-bans/story-e6frf9jf-1225885664182|access-date=18 October 2010|newspaper=Herald Sun|date=30 June 2010}}</ref>

===Mark of the Year===
{{Main|Mark of the Year}}

The [[Australian Football League]] celebrates the best [[Mark (Australian football)|mark]] of the season through the annual [[Mark of the Year]] competition. From 2009 onwards, the commercial name for the award is the ''[[Hungry Jack's]] Mark of the Year''.

[[Liam Jurrah]], of the [[Melbourne Football Club]], won the award for his mark over the top of [[Port Adelaide Football Club|Port Adelaide]]'s [[Nick Salter]], in round 21.<ref name="Goal/Mark" /> However, he hadn't been nominated as Mark of the Week, which was won by Brendon Goddard. This inconsistency arose because the Mark of the Week is decided by an online public vote, while the Mark of the Year is decided separately by a panel of experts.

The 2010 AFL season was the 114th 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 sixteen clubs, ran from 25 March until 2 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 Collingwood Football Club for the 15th time, after it defeated St Kilda by 56 points in the 2010 AFL Grand Final Replay.

Premiership season

[edit]

The draw for the 2010 AFL Premiership Season was produced by the AFL with the intention of producing a balanced draw while also providing the fans and television networks with blockbuster games. In a competition with 16 teams and 22 rounds, it is not possible for all teams to play each other twice. These factors combine to create some of the following anomalies:[1]

  • Six teams played each other for the first time in round 21;
  • Of the Victorian-based teams St Kilda played six games interstate while Essendon travelled only three times;
  • Of the six games Fremantle played in Melbourne, none were at the MCG, while defending premiers Geelong played seven games at the MCG despite not being one of the tenants at this ground;
  • North Melbourne and Port Adelaide played only two of 2009's top eight teams twice, while Essendon and Collingwood played five of these teams twice.

  • Fremantle played at Aurora Stadium for the first time since the siren controversy of 2006. Fremantle, having already qualified for a place in the finals, chose to rest seven of its regular senior players for the game, playing inexperienced youngsters in their place; as a result, the team suffered the worst loss of any team during 2010, going down by 116 points.[11] By winning, Hawthorn clinched its own finals berth. Hawthorn's score and winning margin were each the highest ever for an AFL game played at Aurora Stadium, until the highest score was eclipsed in round 10, 2012, when Hawthorn scored 27.12 (174) against North Melbourne.
  • Collingwood's three-point win over Adelaide secured its first minor premiership since 1977, and its first McClelland Trophy since 1970.
  • West Coast's loss meant that the club won its first wooden spoon in its 24-year history.

Sunday, 29 August (4:40 pm) Melbourne 15.13 (103) def. by North Melbourne 17.11 (113) MCG (crowd: 31,064) Report
  • In a first for the league, the final round of the season was given a floating schedule, with the AFL to allocate the timeslots for the games six weeks out from the end of the season, in order to reduce the likelihood of a team playing the first week of the finals after a Sunday game in round 22.[12] The schedule was announced on 12 July 2010.[13] The floating schedule for the final round became a standard feature in future years.
  • Collingwood lost its first match since round 10, ending an 11-match unbeaten streak.

AFL Rising Star

[edit]

The AFL Rising Star is awarded to the best player who, as of the beginning of the season, is under the age of 21 and has played fewer than 10 games. Each week one player is nominated and at the end of the season a selection panel votes to select the overall winner.

Sydney's Dan Hannebery won the award for 2010, with the maximum 45 votes awarded to him.[31]

Nominations

Goal of the Year

[edit]

The Australian Football League celebrates the best goal of the season through the annual Goal of the Year competition. From 2010 onwards, the commercial name for the award is the Panasonic Goal of the Year.

Lance 'Buddy' Franklin won the award for his running goal against Essendon in round 13. By winning the award Franklin became the fifth indigenous player to win the award since 2004.[54]

Nominations

Mark of the Year

[edit]

The Australian Football League celebrates the best mark of the season through the annual Mark of the Year competition. From 2009 onwards, the commercial name for the award is the Hungry Jack's Mark of the Year.

Liam Jurrah, of the Melbourne Football Club, won the award for his mark over the top of Port Adelaide's Nick Salter, in round 21.[54] However, he hadn't been nominated as Mark of the Week, which was won by Brendon Goddard. This inconsistency arose because the Mark of the Week is decided by an online public vote, while the Mark of the Year is decided separately by a panel of experts.

Umpiring and rule changes

[edit]

No major changes to the rules were introduced for the 2010 season. Minor adjustments to the tribunal rules were made, including adding a provision to report players for diving or staging.[64] The 2010 NAB Cup pre-season competition trialled three new rules: allowing boundary umpires to award free kicks, letting the players, not the umpire, decide if they want to use the advantage rule and penalising players who push the ball under another player.[65]

Coach changes

[edit]
Coach Club Date New coach Notes
Mark Williams Port Adelaide 11 July 2010 Matthew Primus Retirement, effective after round 15 match against Collingwood.[66]
Matthew Knights Essendon 29 August 2010 James Hird[67] Sacked, after final match of season.[68]
Paul Roos Sydney John Longmire Retired at the end of the season.
Mark Thompson[69] Geelong 4 October 2010 Chris Scott[70] Resignation.[71]
