The 2019 AFL season has presented a number of big new stories that have shaken the game to its core.
In a rough order, these 10 stories are up there as the biggest so far this season. Can you think of any others?
1. Coaches sacked mid-season
After all the sagas and stories that have filled our news papers and screens throughout the season so far, the jobs of the 18 AFL coaches and in particular those who are under scrutiny or who have lost their jobs are deemed as the biggest stories in the AFL world.
Two coaches have been sacked, whilst a few more are being questioned if they are the right man for the job.
Firstly, North Melbourne's Brad Scott officially stepped down as coach prior to the Bulldogs clash in round 10, which saw him coach his last game.
In inspired win, the Roos knocked off the dogs by 25 points as they were full of emotion from the departure of their coach since 2010.
"I have always preached that you do what is right for the club and put the club first in all of your dealings and let the cards fall where they fall," Scott said.
"While I would love the opportunity to coach this football club with all the impediments removed, I said to the board that the club needs fresh air in my view to do the things that it needs to do.
The second coach to depart from their club was Carlton's Brendon Bolton, who was under immense pressure from the Carlton board and its fans.
Of the 82 games he coached, only 21 of those were wins and the board felt that it was necessary to depart with Bolton.
His last game as coach was against the Bombers on a wet and rainy day at the MCG. The Bombers defeated Carlton by 41 points.
As a result of the sackings, two interim coaches have been appointed and both have made an immediate impact.
Rhyce Shaw (North Melbourne's interim) won his first two outings as coach as the fans saw a different take implemented by the coach.
Carlton's interim, David Teague, also won his first game against a young and determined Lions, despite conceding the first six goals of the game.
Since, both teams have performed respectively and look to continue a little spurt of form into the back half of the year.
