Australian Football League

Australska nogometna liga (Viktorijanska nogometna liga) (AFL/VFL) je najpoznatija svjetska liga u australskom nogometu.U početku su u njoj sudjelovali samo klubovi iz Viktorije, većinom iz Melbournea (otud i naziv Viktorijanska liga), da bi se od 1982. proširila na Sydney Swans (nakon što je South Melbourne Swans preselio u Sydney), a zatim se proširila i na Adelaide, Brisbane i neke druge australske gradove, pa je od 1989. i promijenila naziv u Australska nogometna liga (AFL).

Sustav natjecanja

uredi

Sezona AFL-a se sastoji od 2 dijela - ligaškog dijela i doigravanja. Ligaški dio traje od ožujka do kraja kolovoza ili početka rujna, a potom slijedi doigravanje. U ligaškom dijelu svaki od 16 klubova igra 22 utakmice, i na osnovu tih rezltata najboljih osam klubova ide u doigravanje, koje se igra kroz četiri tjedna kroz ove faze:

  • Qualifying Finals - igra se u prvom tjednu doigravanja, a igraju ga međusobno 1. i 4., te 2. i 3. klub iz ligaškog dijela prvenstva. Pobjednici iz ova dva susreta idu direktno u Preliminary Finals u trećem tjednu doigravanja, dok poraženi idu u Semi Finals
  • Elimination Finals - također se igra u prvom tjednu doigravanja, a igraju ga međusobno 5. i 8., te 6. i 7. klub iz ligaškog dijela. Pobjednici ova dva susreta idu u Semi Finals
  • Semi Finals - igraju ga poraženi iz Qualifying Finals i pobjednici Elimination Finals u drugom tjednu doigravanja. Pobjednici prolaze u Preliminary Finals
  • Preliminary Finals - igra se u trećem tjednu doigravanja, a igraju ga pobjednici Qualifying Finals protiv pobjednika Semi Finals
  • Grand Final' (Veliko finale) - igraju ga pobjednici Preliminary Finals, a momčad koja pobjedi u Grand Final je prvak AFL-a

Klubovi u AFL-u

uredi

U AFL-u trenutno djeluje 18 klubova, a u toj ligi nema sustava promocije ni ispadanja iz drugih liga. Također, za razliku od liga u Sjevernoj Americi kod kojih također nema ispadanja i promocije poput NBA, NHL ili MLS, klubovi nisu podijeljeni po divizijama ili konferencijama.
