* Five minutes into the third quarter of the Round 1 game between Geelong and Hawthorn, the Cats lead the Hawks 10.6 (66) to 9.11 (65): Hawthorn then outscored Geelong 19.13 (127) to 1.5 (11) in the rest of the game to win by 115 points.
* Under the AFL rules at the time, the drawn qualifying final between and was replayed on the following weekend. This meant that minor premier was given a second consecutive bye week, giving them three weeks between games: Essendon ultimately reached the Grand Final through the preliminary final, but they were soundly beaten in both the Second Semi-Final and Grand Final, to which many laid partial blame upon the extended layoff. Additionally, the one-week delay caused scheduling issues for venues and hotels, as a large number of league and corporate events related to the finals, and particularly in the week of the Grand Final, had to be rescheduled: the extent of this was unprecedented, as the number and scale of such events had increased significantly since the last drawn early weeks finals match, the 1972 Second Semi-Final. The AFL introduced the provision to play
