2000 AFL season

The 2000 AFL season was the 104th season of the Australian Football League (AFL), the highest-level senior Australian rules football competition in Australia. The season featured 16 clubs and ran from 8 March until 2 September, comprising a 22-match home-and-away season followed by a finals series featuring the top eight clubs. The season was scheduled earlier than usual to avoid a clash with the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.

Essendon won the premiership, defeating Melbourne by 60 points in the 2000 AFL Grand Final; it was Essendon's 16th VFL/AFL premiership. Essendon also won the minor premiership by finishing atop the home-and-away ladder with a 21–1 win–loss record, with its home-and-away and overall (24–1) win–loss records standing as the best in the league's history. Melbourne's Shane Woewodin won the Brownlow Medal as the league's best and fairest player, and Essendon's Matthew Lloyd won the Coleman Medal as the league's leading goalkicker.

The 2000 pre-season began with the 2000 Ansett Australia Cup. Unlike most pre-season competitions which start in February, the 2000 series started on 31 December 1999 with a one-off "Match of the Millennium" between Carlton and Collingwood, which was notable for Brendan Fevola kicking twelve goals, a pre-season record. Essendon defeated the Kangaroos by 41 points in the grand final.
