AFL Premiership 2005 is a sports game for PlayStation 2 based on the Australian Football League (AFL). It is the ninth game in the AFL video game series.

Gameplay

The game features two modes: Season mode, where the player selects one of the 16 teams to play in the 2005 AFL season, and Career Mode, which includes the pre-season, home and away season, and finals. There is also, player trading, National AFL Draft and player development. AFL Tribunal is also used with in-game reports and suspensions.
