The '''1994 AFL season''' was the 98th 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 fifteen clubs, ran from 26 March until 1 October, and comprised a 22-game home-and-away season followed by a finals series featuring the top eight clubs – an increase from the six clubs which had contested the finals in previous years.

The premiership was won by the [[West Coast Eagles]] for the second time, after it defeated {{AFL Gee}} by 80 points in the [[1994 AFL Grand Final]].

{{AFL Ess}} 15.12 (102) defeated {{AFL Ade}} 9.14 (68) in the final.

==Rule changes==
There were several significant alterations to the [[Laws of Australian rules football|laws of the game]] brought in for the 1994 season:
* The number of interchange players was increased from two to three which, when added to the "run on" team of 18 on-the-field players, increased the standard team squad size to 21 players.
* The number of field umpires was increased from two to three.
* Playing time was reduced from 25 minutes per quarter to 20 minutes, but additional stoppages (including all scores and boundary throw-ins) attracted  "time-on" allocations; the total reduction of playing time was approximately 10%.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=The Sunday Age (Sport Liftout)|publication-place=Melbourne, VIC|page=3|author1=Rohan Connolly|author2=Gerard Wright|date=21 August 1994|title=A goal that wasn't and a clock that ran fast}}</ref>
* The size of each club's senior playing list was significantly reduced from 52 to 42 players from the 1994 season (with the exception of the struggling {{AFL Syd}}, which was granted a list of 50 players). Victorian clubs could list ten players on a supplementary list to make up the numbers in their reserves teams, but those players were not eligible for AFL senior selection. The change was part of an [[AFL Commission]] plan to completely abolish the Victorian clubs' reserves competition by 1995, but this final stage did not occur until 2000.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=The Age|publication-place=Melbourne, VIC|title=League cuts team lists in shake-up|author=Greg Denham|date=12 June 1993|page=32}}</ref>
* Advertising was permitted for the first time on the backs of guernseys. Small sponsors' logos had previously been permitted over the breast and on the shorts, but the new regulations allowed for logos 30&nbsp;cm long and 8&nbsp;cm high below the number on the back of the guernsey, which has since become the prime advertising location on guernseys. Under the original rules, the logo was required to be consistent with the colour of the guernsey, a stipulation which has since been relaxed.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=The Age|publication-place=Melbourne, VIC|page=28|author=Stephen Linnell|date=19 August 1993|title=Logos get a guernsey from the AFL}}</ref>

*Despite missing key players [[Robert Harvey (footballer)|Robert Harvey]], [[Stewart Loewe]] and [[Tony Lockett]], {{AFL StK}} led {{AFL Gee}} at three-quarter time by 26 points after kicking seven goals to nil in the third quarter. However, a spectacular last quarter by [[Gary Ablett Sr.|Gary Ablett]] in which he kicked four of his seven goals, and an intercept of [[Rod Keogh]]'s attempted pass in the forward pocket to [[Nicky Winmar]] in the final minute, enabled the Cats to escape with a three-point win.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article118170767 |title=Ablett snatches win from Saints |newspaper=[[The Canberra Times]] |location=Australian Capital Territory, Australia |date=12 June 1994 |accessdate=19 May 2021 |page=15 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref>

==Finals==
{{main|1994 AFL finals series}}
The [[McIntyre system#Second McIntyre final six system|second McIntyre "final six" system]], which had operated in 1992 and 1993, was replaced by the [[McIntyre system#McIntyre final eight system|McIntyre "final eight" system]]. The McIntyre "final eight" system would be used until 1999 and was then replaced by the [[AFL final eight system|AFL’s Amended "final eight" system]] in 2000.

{{AFLGameFooter|notes=
* The third qualifying final between {{AFL Nor}} and {{AFL Haw}} was the first-ever [[Australian Football League|AFL]] finals match to require [[extra time]]; this is because scores were level at full time, which had North Melbourne 12.19 (91) to Hawthorn 13.13 (91) at the expiration of regular time. (The provision for extra time had been introduced after the controversial [[1990 AFL season|1990]] finals series, when the qualifying final between {{AFL Col}} and {{AFL WC}} was drawn.) North Melbourne dominated extra time, kicking 3.5 to Hawthorn's nil, and North Melbourne won the match by 23 points.

==Notable events==
*{{AFL Fit}} moved its match-day home ground from [[Princes Park (stadium)|Princes Park]] (which, due to the first ever ground [[naming rights]] deal affecting an AFL venue, became known as [[Optus Oval]] from this season) to the [[Western Oval]]. However, this left {{AFL Car}} as the sole tenant of Optus Oval, and an existing arrangement between Carlton and the AFL required eighteen matches to be played there during the year; consequently, Fitzroy and the MCG's four co-tenants ({{AFL Ess}}, {{AFL Ric}}, {{AFL Mel}} and {{AFL Nor}}) were each forced to play one or two home games at Optus Oval to make up the balance.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=The Age|publication-place=Melbourne, VIC|author=Greg Denham|date=9 November 1993|page=46|title=MCG tenants protest at 'home' switch}}</ref>
* Starting from Round 20, the "[[blood rule]]" was introduced in order to allay fears raised by the threat of [[AIDS]]. Under the rule, any bleeding player would be sent from the field by the umpires until his wound had been covered or closed and any blood-stained gear replaced.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=The Age|publication-place=Melbourne, VIC|page=30|author=Ashley Browne|date=4 August 1994|title=AFL under fire over new law on bleeding players}}</ref> The rule, which for the first time ever gave umpires the ability to order players from the ground, was not initially well-received – particularly following a Round 23 incident in which {{AFL Haw}} ruckman [[Stephen Lawrence (footballer)|Stephen Lawrence]] was unable to return to the field after the third quarter because Hawthorn officials could not find a spare sock to replace his bloodstained one.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=Herald Sun|publication-place=Melbourne, VIC|page=86|author1=Steve Perkin|author2=Daryl Timms|date=29 August 1994|edition=Afternoon|title=Blood rule 'ridiculous'}}</ref>
* The MCG became Collingwood's predominant home ground for the first time, however they would still play sporadic home games at [[Victoria Park, Melbourne|Victoria Park]] until 1999 against mostly low crowd drawing and/or interstate opposition. To this day, the MCG has remained Collingwood's predominant home ground.
