notes

All teams played 22 games during the home and away season, for a total of 176. An additional 9 games were played during the finals series.

Note: Adelaide played its "home" final at the MCG despite being ranked above Melbourne due to the agreement then in place with the Melbourne Cricket Club that at least one game each week of the finals be played at the MCG.

This was the second consecutive Grand Final won by the Brisbane Lions during a three-year streak.

Total match attendance for all games was 5,643,908 people. Attendance at the Grand Final was 91,817 people. The largest non-finals attendance was 84,894 people for the Collingwood v Essendon game of Round 5.
