Notes

[edit]
Key
  • H ^ Home match.
  • A ^ Away match.
General notes
  • a The Geelong-Gold Coast match at Skilled Stadium on 6 August was rescheduled from 2:10 pm to 1:40 pm in response to poor light at the previous weeks' game at the stadium. Consequently, the preceding VFL match was also rescheduled from 10:40 am to 10:10 am[129][130]
  • b "Points" refers to carry-over points accrued following the sanction. For example, 154.69 points draw a one-match suspension, with 54.69 carry-over points (for every 100 points, a one-match suspension is given).
