Notes

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 reschedulded from 10:40 am to 10:10 am
• ^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).
