See 2004 AFL Draft for more information.

The Wizard Home Loans Cup Final saw St Kilda defeat Geelong 1.14.5 (98) to 1.10.7 (76) in front of a crowd of 50,533 (For an explanation of pre-season scoring see Pre-season rule changes)

Note: Brisbane played its "home" final at the MCG despite being ranked above Geelong 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 first Grand Final in the history of the AFL to be played by two non-Victorian teams; Port Adelaide's first; and the Brisbane Lions' fourth consecutive.

Total match attendance for all games was 5,915,407 people. Attendance at the Grand Final was 77,671 people. The largest non-finals attendance was 60,898 people for the Collingwood v Carlton game of Round 22.

Attendances during the season were affected by the ongoing reconstruction of the Ponsford, Olympic and Melbourne Cricket Club stands at the MCG to be ready for the 2006 Commonwealth Games.
