round 22 matches

essendon v footscray

collignwood v brisbane

geelong v carlton gf rematach

st kilda v adelaide

melborune v hawthorn

sydney v west coast

richmond v north

freemantle v fitzroy gor

now i picked freemantle v fitzroy as game of the round as its the last ever fitzroy game although really it would be sydney v west coast on ladder position but historically as they almost merged at this point it would be melbourne v hawthorn (but they don’t merge in the end). also the gf rematch has a big impact on finals positions as well.
