Notable events
- In round 21, Hawthorn trailed Geelong by three points early in the third quarter, but then kicked 25.7 (157) to 1.7 (13) before a late Geelong goal. That total is the highest score for a half in VFL/AFL history, and the loss the biggest in Geelong's history.
- Round 22 was the last round in VFL/AFL history in which all matches were played on the same day.
- This year was the last time that Fitzroy's senior side played in finals football -- ten years prior to the club's merger with the Brisbane Bears. (Fitzroy's reserves won their last premiership in a thriller in 1989).
