See List of Australian Football League premiers for a complete list.
See 2003 AFL Draft for more information.
The 2003 Wizard Home Loans Cup saw Adelaide Crows defeat Collingwood 15.14 (104) to 10.13 (73) in the final. (For an explanation of pre-season scoring see Pre-season rule changes)
The Sydney-Collingwood game is notable as it is the highest attended Aussie Rules match ever played outside of Victoria.
This marks the first time that Fremantle played a finals match and the first, and only time to date that all non-Victorian teams played in a finals series.
Total match attendance for all games was 5,872,352 people. Attendance at the Grand Final was 79,451 people. The largest non-finals attendance was 72,393 people for the Collingwood v Sydney game of Round 21.
