2014 AFL season#Round 5

From 2014, the AFL abandoned the pre-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.{{Cite news|title=Footy heads back to the 'burbs with 2015 NAB Challenge fixture|url=http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-10-28/afl-releases-2015-nab-challenge-fixture|first=Ben|last=Guthrie|access-date=28 October 2014|publisher=Telstra Media|website=AFL.com.au|date=28 October 2014}} Each team played three pre-season games, many of which were played at suburban or regional venues, with most games televised on Fox Footy. The nine-point super goal was used in these matches.

{{Main|2014 International Rules Test}}

The International Rules Series returned for 2014 at the later time of November. Ahead of the series, the AFL adopted a new rule permitting only those who had been selected in an All-Australian team in their careers playing for the Australian team. The series was also reduced to a single test match and several rule changes were made so as to enable greater participation from key position players in the AFL.[http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-04-23/all-australians-only All Australian reps only for International Rules] Australia defeated Ireland by 10 points, 56–46, to claim their first win in International rules football since the 2010 series.[http://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/international-rules-2014-australia-beats-ireland-by-10-points-in-entertaining-test/story-fnelctok-1227131656238 International Rules 2014: Australia beats Ireland by 10 points in entertaining Test]

• On 3 March 2014, it was announced that CEO of the AFL, Andrew Demetriou, would be resigning from the post following the conclusion of the season, after eleven years in the role.{{cite web|url=http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-03-03/demetriou|title=Demetriou to stand down at end of 2014|first=Nathan|last=Schmook|publisher=Telstra Media|work=AFL.com.au|date=3 March 2014}} Gillon McLachlan was later named his successor.
• On 13 May 2014, Greater Western Sydney midfielder Toby Greene was charged with a number of offences including assault with a dangerous weapon and intentionally causing serious injury over an alleged assault in a Melbourne licensed venue the previous night.{{cite news |url=http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-05-13/player-charged|title=Toby Greene charged over night club incident |first=James |last=Dampney |work= AFL Official Website |date=13 May 2014}} He was later suspended by the club for five weeks.
• Just a year after being racially abused in a match against {{AFL Col}}, {{AFL Syd}}'s Adam Goodes was once again the target of a racial vilification, this time by an {{AFL Ess}} supporter. While the incident went unheard during the weekend, it only came to light on 20 May 2014; the Essendon club responded by terminating that supporter's membership.[http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-05-20/bombers-fan-loses-membership-over-goodes-vilification/5464758?section=sport Essendon cancels membership of fan who racially vilified Sydney's Adam Goodes during AFL match], ABC Grandstand Sport (Australian Broadcasting Corporation), 20 May 2014

Brendon Bolton was appointed as the acting head coach for several matches while Clarkson recovered.[http://www.hawthornfc.com.au/hawthorn/news/2014-05-27/club-statement-alastair-clarkson.workstation Club statement: Alastair Clarkson] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006093106/http://www.hawthornfc.com.au/hawthorn/news/2014-05-27/club-statement-alastair-clarkson.workstation |date=6 October 2014 }}, hawthornfc.com.au, 27 May 2014[http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-05-27/bolton-to-fillin-for-clarko afl.com.au]
• As part of the ongoing investigation into the Essendon Football Club supplements controversy, on 13 June 2014, the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) issued show cause notices to 34 Essendon players from its 2012 list. In response, Essendon executives lodged a Federal Court application alleging that ASADA's joint investigation with the AFL was unlawful and in breach of the ASADA Act.[http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/essendon-launches-federal-court-challenge-against-asada-and-afl/story-fni5f22o-1226952296676 Herald Sun: Essendon launches Federal Court challenge against ASADA and AFL], heraldsun.com.au, 13 June 2014 On 19 September, Justice John Middleton ruled that ASADA's investigation was lawful, allowing ASADA to trigger the start of the show-cause response period, which gives charged players 14 days to answer doping allegations against them.[http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-09-19/asada-right-to-probe-essendon-supplements-program-court-rules/5755440 ASADA vs Essendon: Anti-doping agency's probe of AFL club supplements program lawful, court rules (ABC News)]
