The previous few years had seen other sports compromised by major spot-fixing scandals – most notably the Pakistan cricket spot-fixing controversy – so the issue was already well publicised at the time. The AFL had in place a strict policy prohibiting anyone involved in the AFL from placing any bet on any AFL outcome. Early in the season, it emerged that there were several suspicious plunges on players who were usually defenders to kick the first goal of a match; in each case, the player unexpectedly started in the forward-line, indicating that the plunges may have been caused by team information somehow leaking to punters. Five suspicious plunges on defenders for the first goal were identified during the season: Round 7, PA vs – Hawthorn midfielder/defender Brent Guerrahttp://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/sport/afl-probes-betting-leaks/story-e6frg7mf-1226061498601 The Australian Greg Patrick Denham Smith 9 September 2011 24 May 2011 AFL probes betting leaks https://web.archive.org/web/20121022101137/http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/sport/afl-probes-betting-leaks/story-e6frg7mf-1226061498601 22 October 2012 dead Round 7, vs – Brisbane defender Daniel Merrett Round 8, vs – Brisbane defender Matt Maguire Round 9, vs – Collingwood defender Nick Maxwellhttp://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-premiership/bookmaker-knocks-back-bets-on-collingwood-defender-nick-maxwell-kicking-first-goal-against-adelaide-crows/story-e6frf3e3-1226062413426 Bookie knocks back best on Collingwood defender Nick Maxwell kicking first goal against Adelaide Crows 9 September 2011 5 September 2011 Michael Warner Fox Sports Round 24, vs – Gold Coast defender Nathan Bockhttp://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/afl-likely-to-investigate-a-betting-plunge-on-nathan-bocks-first-goal/story-e6frf9jf-1226129307378 Adam Mark Stevens Hamilton 5 September 2011 9 September 2011 AFL likely to investigate a betting plunce on Nathan Bock's first goal Herald Sun Nathan Bock was the only of the five players to kick the first goal of his respective match. The cases all raised concerns about "exotic bets" and the risk of spot-fixing, although in no case was a deliberate attempt at spot-fixing ever implicated. The controversy deepened prior to round 17, when the investigation into the Maxwell plunge revealed that Heath Shaw was implicated in bets placed on Maxwell's first goal. Shaw and a friend from outside the Collingwood Football Club were found to have placed a shared $20 bet on Maxwell for first goal at a TAB venue, using Shaw's knowledge from team meetings that Maxwell would be starting forward; that friend had later placed two more bets on Maxwell worth $15, shared with another friend. Shaw was penalised by the league under the anti-gambling code, receiving a suspension of eight matches, with a further suspended sentence of six matches, and was fined $20,000. In their respective investigations, it was found that both Nick Maxwell and Nathan Bock had informed family members and friends that they would be starting in the forward-line before their respective plunges, and, unbeknownst to the players, those family members and friends then placed bets.

The standard interchange system was reduced from four players to three players. A fourth player is named as a substitute, and begins the game wearing a green vest. The substitute can be brought on at any point in the game, permanently replacing any player on the bench or the field. The player being replaced must wear a red vest when leaving the ground. This rule was predominantly introduced to keep the number of players able to participate in the game for each team equal, even if a severe injury occurs.Witham Jennifer AFL's red-vest rule http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/default.aspx?newsid=107121 https://web.archive.org/web/20121007172729/http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/default.aspx?newsid=107121 dead 7 October 2012 AFL BigPond Network 28 March 2011 31 January 2011 The rules for calling "advantage" after a free kick were amended, to allow the players, rather than the umpires, make the decision on whether or not they see an advantage in continuous play.Australian Football League, Laws of Australian Rules Football 2011, Retrieved 23 April 2011.
