The 2025 AFL season begins with Brisbane Lions defending their title against Geelong, featuring key player performances and coaching changes.

The 2025 AFL season kicks off on March 6 with a thrilling match between the Brisbane Lions and Geelong at The Gabba. This marks the 129th edition of the premier Australian Rules Football competition, generating significant excitement among fans both locally and globally. The Brisbane Lions, the reigning premiers, are eager to defend their title after a commanding 60-point victory over Sydney in last season`s Grand Final.

Sydney has made a coaching change, appointing Dean Cox following John Longmire`s resignation, while the West Coast Eagles, under new coach Andrew McQualter, are gearing up for a challenging season after recent struggles. In a recent AAMI Community Series match, the Eagles edged out North Melbourne by two points, thanks to a late goal from recruit Liam Baker. The ruck position remains competitive, with Matt Flynn vying for a starting role in Round 1.

The pre-season match showcased key performances, with Jake Waterman scoring four goals for the Eagles and Jeremy McGovern contributing significantly with 15 disposals. North Melbourne`s Harry Sheezel and Tom Powell also stood out, with Sheezel netting a remarkable 50m running goal. The upcoming season will introduce several rule changes aimed at enhancing player safety while maintaining the game`s fast-paced nature.
