S eptember is here and AFL fans around the world will be hoping the final – and most important – month of the season is every bit as exciting as the 23-week rollercoaster that got us here. The pre-finals bye has its critics and not without reason. But this year, there might have been no real harm in having a few extra days, even just to catch our breath after an exhilarating final day of the home and away season.
Some fresh voices around coach Chris Scott have also helped and Geelong shows every sign of a team that is peaking at the right time of the year. Heaven help whichever backline needs to curb Tom Hawkins, Jeremy Cameron and Tyson Stengle, who has risen from the scrapheap to All-Australian in just one season. Melbourne was the unbackable flag favourite after starting the season 10-0, before floundering its way through much of the second half of the season. But just as the ‘perhaps they’re not that good’ talk gained traction, the Demons went to the Gabba in round 23 and thrashed Brisbane by 58 points.

Jamie Elliott’s match-winner sailed through with 100 seconds to go.
The Bulldogs and Blues finished equal on points, but the Dogs finished half a percentage point ahead to scrape into the finals. As the final siren sounded at the MCG, the Bulldogs celebrated raucously in the dining room of a Launceston hotel. Form suggests they might be making up the numbers this September. The backline has been their achilles all year. But since the introduction of the pre-finals bye in 2016, three teams have made it to the Grand Final from the elimination final and they include the Dogs in 2016 and 2021. They’ll have no issue starting this finals series from the back of the grid.
All the hallmarks of Melbourne at its best were evident – organised down back, u Finals are finally here, and we can now give the eight teams competing this week their due recognition. The first of the awards season is over, AFLW is up and running and we are now down to just one team looking for a coach in 2023.

Some would argue they have ridden their luck, but perhaps new coach Craig McRae has taken what Nathan Buckley had beforehand, added some tweaks of his own and built a side that knows how to close out tight finishes. If the finals are tight, Collingwood will have plenty to draw on. Skipper Nat Fyfe is a huge loss through injury, but under the guiding hand of David Mundy, Fremantle will take the best young midfield in the competition into the finals, headlined by recently-crowned AFLPA MVP Andrew Brayshaw, together with Caleb Serong and Will Brodie.

Rutten was supported by Brasher and Campbell following an internal review, but the club was split by the forces pushing for an external review. They were led by board member David Barham, who is now the new president and is making sweeping changes to the club. Experience is the key ingredient Barham is seeking for the Bombers’ new coach, and while that was initially thought to mean only former AFL senior coaches need apply, the club later offered a clarification.
Former St Kilda and Fremantle coach Ross Lyon would top the club’s wish list, but expect Leon Cameron, James Hird and Adem Yze to put their namesAmongforward.those choosing the new coach will be Carlton great Robert Walls and four-time premiership Hawk Jordan Lewis. Clarkson gave brief consideration to Essendon, was seriously tempted by the Giants, but was sold a vision for the Kangaroos by president Dr Sonja Hood. “If you’ve got people who are prepared to work together on a single vision and goal, then special things can happen,” he said. “It’s been a tough year for them with a lot of change and the club just needs some stability and direction now.” Kingsley, 47, who was runner-up in the Collingwood and Carlton searches 12 months ago, will see out Richmond’s finals campaign before turning his full attention to the“IGiants.amreally pleased and super excited to finally get my opportunity to lead a club and take them to where I think I can,” he said. “The potential we have here is quite enormous and I can’t wait to get stuck in. “There will be some changes, as new coaches do, but hopefully we can get back to where we belong.”

Legendary four-time Hawthorn premiership coach Alastair Clarkson is the new coach of North Melbourne, returning to the club where he first broke into the AFL, playing 93 games between 1987 and 1995.
And Adam Kingsley, a 170-game and 2004 premiership player at Port Adelaide, becomes the third coach in GWS Giants history after serving a thorough coaching apprenticeship at the Power, St Kilda and Richmond. But first to the Bombers, who are in the midst of a major shake-up.
Ben Rutten’s removal as coach was prefaced by the departure of president Paul Brasher and followed by the resignation of chief executive Xavier Campbell and influential director Simon Madden. After making the finals last season, Essendon floundered badly in 2022 and the season was shot after a 2-9 start.

Is this the most complete Geelong team since the 2011 premiership and where has the improvement come from this year?
GL: It feels like it. It feels like they have greater balance across the ground. The way they play suggests that they have improved because they have these gears now. Earlier in the year Chris Scott flagged they would move the ball quicker and they’ve showed this willingness to go and to go quickly. They flagged it and they stuck with it and that’s the most impressive aspect. There’s also the way they have deployed their players. You’ve got to have players who can play more than one role and their willingness earlier in the year to play Joel Selwood outside the centre square, to make it not all about Patrick Dangerfield, to throw Max Holmes and Tom Atkins into the middle is significant.Theyhaveset themselves up for this time of year to be at their best better than anyone else. It wasn’t about racking up the wins in rounds, three, four or five, it is about beating Melbourne at this time of the year. They have prepared immaculately. Why does Collingwood keep winning the close ones and can the formula work in September?
Senior writer ASHLEY BROWNE caught up with a panel of SEN football experts – GARRY LYON, GERARD WHATELEY, NATHAN BUCKLEY and KANE CORNES – to discuss the opening week of finals and what might unfold deeper into September.
SEN.com.au AFL RECORD 15 What did you see from the Demons against Brisbane to make you think they’re back? Or are they?
GW: Nothing has come easy for the Demons beyond the 10-0 start to the season. They split their games under varying levels of duress with flickering moments of promise. It’s a decent accomplishment finishing second. The Demons are at their best when they are ferocious around the contest and the finals will surely inspire that through September. Their escape out the front of stoppages is beyond compare and the intercept marking is their trademark. But it’s what happened in the forward half that suggested their timing is on cue. Ben Brown threatened, ‘Kozzy’ Pickett menaced and Bayley Fritsch was ever so neat. The one rider – Brisbane might be their bunny. Which of the emerging Swans stars do you think are built for the finals?
REVELATION: Chad Warner has emboldened the Swans’ midfield with his tenacious play.
GW: ‘The Chad’ has been the revelation of the season in Sydney. Chad Warner’s introduction to finals footy in an eliminator last year was a quiet taster, but he is a player transformed as he returns to September. His tenacity, creativity and relentless approach has emboldened the midfield. At 21, he’s already your archetypal Swans midfielder of successful campaigns past. He has Luke Parker in close proximity to show him the ways of the finals and Isaac Heeney who threatens to be the man to propel Sydney to glory. And in his first final, Paddy McCartin might fulfil his destiny in the weeks that define reputations.

2ND ELIMINATION FINAL BRISBANE LIONS v RICHMOND NATHAN BUCKLEY BIG CHALLENGE: The pressure will be on star forward Joe Daniher to reignite the stutteringforwardLionsline.
NB: Yes, because the Tigers score more heavily than anyone on turnover. When they start doing that, it gives them their mojo. They score quickly and heavily, which always makes them dangerous. They will miss Dylan Grimes and they won’t have some of the structure they normally have behind the ball. But there is a lot that is stacking up well with their game at the moment. And they’re getting Dustin Martin back, which is the cream on the top. They have scored 200 goals from turnovers, and he hasn’t played all that much (eight games), so he’s only going to help them. With the Tigers, their main defensive weapon is pressure around the ball, so the question is whether they can produce that for a month of footy. They have shown they can do it.

How does Chris Fagan pick up the pieces after Brisbane’s horrible loss to Melbourne in round 23?
NB: It’s not just the Melbourne game; they’ve been a little bit off for the back half of the year. They haven’t really hit their straps. Ironically, their best footy was the first 40 minutes against Melbourne at the MCG (in round 15), when they ended up being over-run, but their midfield was really clicking, and they were scoring goals from Eric Hipwood, Joe Daniher and CharlieThat’sCameron.whatthey’d be hoping to see, and they’ll have had a couple of weeks to get that back and to remind themselves of what their best football can be like. They’re not as solid down back as they have been and not getting the rebound and winning contests behind the ball. Harris Andrews is still an elite mark and rebound defender, but probably relies on the defensive efforts of his teammates to get up and going. Marcus Adams and Noah Answerth missing will be an issue, Brandon Starcevich is a solid player, Darcy Gardiner hasn’t been in great form, but for me, they’re not quite as structured in defence and it is hurting them.

KC: It’s a reflection of the work put in a few years ago and giving a young midfield group the exposure and time together. The midfield is awesome. Led by Andrew Brayshaw, they play footy the right way. They’re tough and competitive around the ball and, when the opposition have the footy, they’re prepared to run and defend better than most of the other midfields in theRemembercompetition.acouple of years ago when they had Nat Fyfe and David Mundy in the midfield and Fyfe would go forward to give Brayshaw, Caleb Serong and, to a lesser extent Adam Cerra, those minutes? We’re seeing the fruits of that labour now and it also helps having Sean Darcy as a young and aggressive ruckman. I think this year it’s more a case of them getting some finals exposure, and then having a crack at a premiership next year. More often than not, it takes a couple of goes. It’s so rare to come from outside the eight to win a premiership. This year is an added bonus especially if they can win this week. It’s a great opportunity for them at home against a team that’s just scraped into the eight. The atmosphere at Optus Stadium is going to be unbelievable.
Why have the Dockers made the big leap in 2022 and how far can they go?
Are the Western Bulldogs just making up the numbers this September, or are there signs they can go on a run again?
KC: On paper, they should be able to go on a run because they don’t want for too much. And on paper, they’re as good as any team in the competition, but they don’t want to defend. Something has broken down in the pre-season or at some point because they refuse to defend the opposition when they want to move the footy. It’s pretty rare for a team to be last in defending the opposition from back 50 to forward 50 and still make theCanfinals.they flick the switch before the finals? I wouldn’t think so, but if it did come together, their talls forward of the ball are incredible, especially now with Sam Darcy joining Aaron Naughton and Jamarra Ugle-Hagan. Their midfield is elite and they should put up a pretty good effort, but for whatever reason, they haven’t been able to buy into the defensive aspects of their game this year. @hashbrowne ON-BALL EXPOSURE: Caleb Serong is one of the young Dockers who has thrived in the midfield this season.

Finals tickets were always the hottest items in Fromtown.1961 through to 1971, the smallest crowd for a final was 82,773 when Melbourne played Carlton in the 1962 first semi-final. From 1966, attendances for the MCG finals never dropped below 90,000 and, in 1970, all four finals were played in front of more than 100,000 fans.

rom the time of its formation in 1897, the Victorian Football League finals would bring Melbourne to life. After 18 or so weeks of battle on the famed suburban grounds of Melbourne and Geelong, all eyes in September turned to the MCG, with four finals spread over four weeks.
There were no surprises when the VFL and the MCC signed a new deal. But on December 1, 1971, the VFL released the draw for the following season, with two newThetwists.final four would become the final five, the first change to the finals system since the McIntyre system was introduced in It1931.meant two extra finals every season, both of which would be played at VFL Park, the rapidly-growing stadium at Mulgrave, located about 25km from the CBD. It is fair to say the League was infatuated with its shiny new toy.
The story also hinted that finals would be played there in the future and the confirmation came a couple of months later.
It is 50 years since two significant changes were made to finals football – the first final was played at the League’s new showpiece and a final five system was introduced.

The first semi-final that year was the first and only final for South Melbourne’s legendary triple Brownlow medallist Bob Skilton. That year’s Grand Final attendance was 121,696 which was (and probably will always be) the record crowd for a football game of any code in Australia.
The new final five, featuring the newly-minted elimination final between the fourth and fifth-placed teams would be played at Waverley, with the qualifying final, pitting second and third, to be played across town at the MCG at the same time. Sunday finals were still 12 years away.
But 12 months later, the League’s agreement to play its finals at the MCG was up for renegotiation. The Melbourne Cricket Club held all the aces; how many other 100,000-seat venues were there?

The following week, Waverley would host the second semi-final, which featured the top team, having enjoyed a week off, meeting the qualifying finals winner in the second semi-final, while the first semi-final at the MCG featured the elimination final winner against the qualifying final loser. In his editorial in the opening round edition of the Record in 1972, editor Alan McKenzie wrote, “The new ‘Final Five’ has opened up more chances for all clubs and the resulting revenue gained by the playing of two Finals matches at VFL Park will further consolidate the biggest sporting business in ItAustralia.”washard to argue, but Waverley wasn’t hugely popular with footy fans.

Another significant change to the finals arrangements was the recognition that playing all finals in Victoria was unfair to the growing number of non-Victorian teams.
To its credit, the League recognised the Saints had been harshly dealt with and the system was tweaked the following year, with third playing sixth and fourth playing fifth.
In the round one edition of the AFL Record, AFL chief executive Ross Oakley hailed the newHesystem.saidthe two main benefits were that it would give the two grand finalists equal preparation because they both would have played the previous week and, that by adding two additional finalists, more clubs and their supporters would get to enjoy the spoils of UnderSeptember.thissystem, first played eight, second played seventh, third met sixth and fourth played fifth.

And history was also made under this finals system in 1993 when Carlton and Essendon played their qualifying final on a Saturday night at the MCG, the first final to be played under lights.
In addition to the extra time at Waverley, Geelong (fourth) needed Billy Brownless’ famous kick after the final siren to beat fifth-placed Footscray.

But the Tigers came hard in the final quarter and snatched the lead, before Carlton midfielder Barry Armstrong levelled the scores with a goal shortly before the final siren.
Much of the commentary at the time was that just making the finals was a good effort by Tuddenham’s team, which would be better for the run. The crowd was 52,499 and it was close to capacity at the yet-to-be-completed venue.
There were 54,338 at the drawn semi-final, which in the League’s mind vindicated the decision to stage finals at VFL Park and to press ahead with plans for its expansion and to host extra finals. Still, it was a novelty for players to feature in big games at VFL Park.
The Age the following Monday, Jesaulenko said, “You know we play so little at VFL Park that the ground still tricks us … and I mean both sides. You just don’t know exactly where the scoring avenues are.” By 1975, the preliminary final had moved there and, within a few years, the League was openly planning to move the Grand Final from the MCG. It took the threat of legislation from Victorian Premier John Cain to prevent that from happening.
First-placed West Coast held on by two points to beat the fast-finishing, eighth-placed Collingwood at the WACA by two points and Melbourne’s upset of Carlton the following afternoon was one of the biggest finals boilovers for years.
The Blues turned to the mercurial Alex Jesaulenko on the final siren. But he was 80 metres from goal and the kick fell well short. The two sides returned to the MCG for a replay a week later.
The AFL moved to a final eight and for the first season (1994) it meant more teams made the finals, than did not. That changed the following year when Fremantle was admitted to the competition.
Seventh-placed Melbourne’s upset of Carlton the following afternoon knocked Hawthorn out of theThefinals.Hawks had gathered together that afternoon and started off drinking water as they followed the scores from the MCG. By the end of the afternoon, they were well into the beers. Indeed, the first weekend of the final eight was one of the greatest finals weekends ever.
The Saints were eliminated from the finals, whereas fifth-placed Melbourne went through after beating sixth-placed Essendon.
The Crows made it 15 teams, and the League determined that the competition would be better served by six teams competing in theFirstfinals.and second were awarded the double chance, while third played fourth and fifth played sixth in elimination finals.

But until the end of 1990, VFL Park, or Waverley Park as it became known by then, was home to three AFL finals a year and there were some classics among them, such as Michael Conlan’s late winner for Fitzroy against Essendon in 1986 and Gary Buckenara’s goal after the siren to win the preliminary final the following year.
This finals system was never quite embraced, perhaps because in the first year, fourth-placed St Kilda, in its first final for 18 years, lost a classic to Geelong by seven points.
VFL Park’s second final proved to be much more significant. It had just about everything. Carlton had enjoyed the week’s break and led the low-scoring clash with Richmond for much of the afternoon.

u Geelong won its third flag in five years, confirming its ranking as one of the great sides of any era. The Cats and the Magpies played out an enthralling contest with the lead changing several times. But after leading by just seven points at three-quarter time, Geelong asserted its superiority in the final term. Key forward Tom Hawkins announced himself on the big stage, Steve Johnson overcame a serious knee injury to kick four goals and Jimmy Bartel added the Norm Smith Medal to his long list of honours.
u Sydney held its nerve to secure a memorable premiership to add to its success in 2005. After a nervous start, the Swans kicked six unanswered goals in the second term before the Hawks fought back to trail by one point at the final change. Scores fluctuated during a tense final term, but late goals to Adam Goodes and Nick Malceski sealed Sydney’s fifth premiership.
u Hawthorn rebounded from its 2012 Grand Final heartbreak to win its 11th flag against an inaccurate Fremantle. The Hawks’ greater composure helped them build a handy 23-point half-time lead as the Dockers kicked only one first-half goal. Playing its first Grand Final since its 1995 inception, Fremantle hit back hard in the third quarter, piling on five goals to go into three-quarter time 10 points down. But led by Jack Gunston (four goals) and former Western Bulldog defender Brian Lake, who won the Norm Smith Medal, the Hawks proved too strong.

PROUD CAT: A beaming Tom Hawkins was named captain of the All-Australian team.
S tar Geelong forward Tom Hawkins has achieved just about everything he could have hoped for since bursting on to the AFL scene as a raw but imposing young forward in 2007.
The surprised look on Hawkins’ face said it all when AFL CEO Gill McLachlan announced the big Cat as captain of the team of the year. Hawkins has spent most of his career playing under Joel Selwood, the AFL record-holder for most games as captain. “I don’t think I’ve been captain of a football side before,” Hawkins said. A check of his 324-game AFL career confirms that Hawkins has never captained Geelong, even in the rare absence of Selwood.

He last made the All-Australian side in 2019 and returned to his brilliant best in 2022 after a couple of seasons where injuries prevented him from showcasing his absolute best.

Chris Gordon (boundary) and Simon Meredith (field) received their first All-Australian blazer, while Matthew Dervan (goal) received his second All-Australian honour. They were selected by the AFL umpires’ coaches.
Hawkins’ list of playing honours confirms his status as one of the great key forwards of the modern era. Premiership player (2011), best and fairest (2012), Coleman Medal (2020), 10-time Geelong leading goalkicker – which could be extended to 11 in 2022 – and 724 career goals.

And on a huge finals day, hungry fans like you might help swell that total even higher.

u Yes, I do engage in mindfulness and breathing activities daily, especially in the lead-up to a game on the weekend. How do they help?
What healthy foods did you love as a kid?
What’s your favourite memory of being part of a team as a kid?
Dangerfield’s decorated career includes a stellar season in 2016 when he won the Brownlow Medal, the AFLPA Most Valuable Player and the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award. His strong but community-mindedhumbleapproach to life inside and away from footy, as well as being a dedicated husband and father, make him the perfect ambassador for the Coles Healthy Kicks program, helping to teach kids across the country how to live a healthier, happier life.

u As a kid, I loved playing with my mates and being part of a team.
u One of my favourite memories was winning a team tennis championship for my local tennis club when I was 12. This is still a wonderful childhood memory that I remember fondly due to the satisfaction of winning as a team.
Why is it important for kids to be part of a team?
u I have always been a lover of fruit, especially apples. Red or green, it doesn’t matter – apples were and still are my favourite food. You know what they say, an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Do you do any mindfulness or breathing activities?
Why do you think the Coles Healthy Kicks program is so important for kids?
FORLIVINGHEALTHYKIDS
HEALTHY AND HAPPY: Patrick Dangerfield, with daughter Felicity, is a strong supporter of healthy lifestyles.
I love promotesthemessagetheprogram
he Coles Healthy Kicks program is a fun and entertaining health and fitness program designed specifically to encourage Australian children aged six to 12 to embrace healthy eating, mindfulness and exercise.
PATRICK DANGERFIELD
u Kids have so many temptations around streaming and devices that aren’t generally healthy for long periods of time. I love the message the Coles Healthy Kicks program promotes – to encourage young kids to embrace healthy cooking, mindfulness and exercise. The mental and physical benefits that it provides to young kids is also extremely important.
As a kid, I would also jump on the trampoline at home for two to three hours a day every day of the week!
Coles and the AFL have partnered with several superstar AFL and AFLW Ambassadors to bring the Coles Healthy Kicks program to life, including GWS’s Stephen Coniglio, Melbourne’s Daisy Pearce, the Brisbane Lions’ Ruby Svarc, Collingwood’s Sabrina Frederick and Steph Chiocci, Eddie Betts and Geelong’s Patrick Dangerfield.
Dangerfield is one of the best players of the modern era due to his ability to explode from stoppages while also showcasing his capacity to hit the scoreboard. With his explosive acceleration, Dangerfield is one of the strongest and most powerful players in the game today.
I believe it is so important to be part of a team to learn the benefits of everyone working together to achieve a common goal. Nothing is more satisfying.
What did you do as a kid to stay active?
Starting in 2020, Coles Healthy Kicks is in its third year engaging with kids through fun fitness, healthy food education and engaging games and is delivered during the school holidays at vacation care centres and schools nationwide.
u I’m a big believer in visualising yourself in the moment (for me it was footy), so when the time does come, you can execute under pressure on game-day. It’s also a great way to remove yourself from the competitive nature of the sport and the subsequent pressure it puts on you to assist with recovery and relaxation.
u I was raised in a very active family and loved all things sport. I played footy, tennis and regularly surfed.
What is your favourite healthy food now? u Funnily enough, apples are still my favourite food, it’s just a bonus that they are tasty! I do also love to have a bowl of granola in the morning with some yoghurt and maybe even some chopped apples on top too.
Brisbane, one of the best attacking teams, was restricted to eight goals and a total of 57 points. That was despite 58 inside 50s – with just 50 for Melbourne – but the Demons’ defence was elite in restricting the Lions to just 33 per cent efficiency inside 50.
To the eye, Melbourne dominated the clash, but the stats paint a different picture. Alas, it’s little consolation to the Lions, who now need to regain their momentum heading into the finals.

By comparison, Melbourne went at 52 per cent efficiency inside 50.
The Demons had a narrow advantage in contested possessions (140-130) and clearances (40-36) but also had more turnovers (74-72) than the home side. Both sides had 13 marks inside 50. Brisbane narrowly lost the tackle count, but enjoyed plenty more one-percenters (62-48).
Outside of those two areas, statistics tell you the game was relatively even.
TOP THIS! ROUND 23
u Melbourne could not have been more impressive in its round 23 demolition of the Brisbane Lions. The Demons’ 58-point triumph came at the perfect time and had shades of their 2021 run when they hit form at the right time to power away to a drought-breaking premiership. While the Lions were disappointing, Melbourne’s defence deserves plenty of credit for the win.
An accurate night in front of the sticks also certainly helped. The Lions managed 8.6 from shots at goal while the Demons kicked 18.5. Melbourne dominated all night and accurate kicking certainly helped it take a game-winning lead early.

u T he AFL would like to know if the following four players, all born in 1927, are still alive. Malcolm Worrall, from Parkdale Amateurs, represented Hawthorn from 1944 until 1950. One of his teammates in 1949 was Lew Evans, also from the Parkdale region. Former Camberwell player Jack MacDonald played for the Hawks between 1951 and 1953. Fred Payne hailed from Ardmona in regional Victoria and played with Essendon from 1949 until 1953. If you can assist, contact Col Hutchinson at col.hutchinson@afl.com.au.
FINALS W1, 2021 u For the Aliir Aliir dominating in defence, Ollie Wines (33 disposals) and Travis Boak (32) starring in the midfield and Orazio Fantasia bagging four goals. The next day, GWS held on by one point against a fast-finishing Sydney in the first final played in Tasmania. Giants star Toby Greene was again in hot water, this time for making contact with umpire Matt Stevic, and was suspended for three games (later increased to six games by the AFL). Melbourne confirmed its status as one of the teams to beat for the flag with a convincing 33-point win over Brisbane at Adelaide Oval in the other qualifying final. Lachie Neale gathered 46 disposals for the Lions, a record for a final. The Western Bulldogs snapped a three-game losing streak to knock Essendon out of the finals. The loss meant the Bombers have not won a final since 2004.

COSTLY MISS: Carlton skipper Kernahan’sStephenerrant shot at goal after the siren in 1993 left the scores tied with Essendon; (inset) the Blues and Bombers also couldn’t be separated in 2014.
TAP: The record for most draws between clubs is six, with Carlton featuring twice – against Essendon and South Melbourne. The first draw between the Blues and Bombers, both founding clubs of the AFL/VFL, was in round one, 1911, and the most recent was in round 23, 2014. A notable draw between the sides was in round two, 1993, at the MCG. Carlton skipper Stephen Kernahan had the chance to win the game for the Blues with a kick after the siren, but missed completely, leaving the scores tied. The first three drawn matches between the Blues and Swans all occurred in a four-year span – in round two, 1911, round two, 1913, and round four, 1914. Carlton also played five draws with Fitzroy, with two of them happening two years apart in 1915 and 1917. In between those games, the sides faced off in the unique 1916 Grand Final. Only four teams took the field that season because of World War II, with Fitzroy downing the Blues to claim the flag, despite finishing last on the ladder with only two wins after the home and away season. Collingwood and Melbourne also have drawn five times against each other, including the 1928 semi-final, which was the first drawn final. In the replay the following week, the Magpies won by four points.

JOSH’S STORY*
Josh was lacking positive role models in his life and was disengaging from school. Through Ladder’s mentoring and development programs, he gained important support, skills and connection. As a footy fan, Josh enjoyed being mentored by a former player who became an important role model in his life. Josh is now back at school and achieving his goals. Help us support more young people like Josh. *Not his real name or image.

BRISBANE LIONS Home record: 13-13 Away record: 5-21-1 Highest score: 26.13 (169), round 22, 1987, at the MCG. Lowest score: 2.5 (17), round 4, 2018, at the MCG.

Richmond’s pressure game is back and no team is better at scoring off turnover than the Tigers. They shape as the side no team will want to play in September. The other concern for the Lions is their wretched 1-5 finals record since 2019, with all but one of those matches being at the Gabba. Something happens to them in September, so the pressure is firmly on leaders such as Dayne Zorko, Lachie Neale, Hugh McCluggage and Harris Andrews to do something about it.
Played 53: Brisbane Lions 18, Richmond 34, draws 1. Since 2017: Brisbane Lions 2, Richmond 8. Most recent game: round 20, 2022, Brisbane Lions lost to Richmond by 7 points at the MCG. Highest attendance: 76,995, round 23, 2019, at the MCG.
©National AFSL u Brisbane holds the home ground advantage, but the momentum is all with Richmond heading into the opening game of the 2022 finals series. The Tigers seemed to flirt with their form for much of the season, but something clicked at half-time of the round 20 clash with the Lions when they trailed by seven goals. They came back to win by seven points, then closed out the season in fine style and might be missing just co-captain Dylan Grimes on Thursday night. Dustin Martin (hamstring) will return for the first time since round 16, while the pre-finals bye should enable Tom Lynch (groin) to play. The Lions were hammered by 58 points by Melbourne in the final round at the Gabba and were comprehensively broken down by the Demons, especially defensively. Losing Cam Rayner and Noah Answerth to suspension are major blows.
GOTCHA: Five-goal hero Noah Cumberland tackles Darcy Gardiner in the Tigers’ brilliant come-from-behind win in round 20.

Match Preview
MELBOURNE Home record: 52-56-2 Away record: 42-60 Highest score: 26.21 (177), round 15, 1991, at the SCG. Lowest score: 0.8 (8), round 12, 1912, at the MCG. Greatest winning margin: 107 points, round 6, 1939, at the MCG.
u The Swans enter the finals in red-hot form, winners of their last six games of the home and away season, with victories over Fremantle and Collingwood among them. And they carry with them the bitter taste of last year’s narrow elimination final defeat against GWS when bad kicking proved costly. They seem built for finals, and players such as Chad Warner, Nick Blakey, Callum Mills and Isaac Heeney love the big stage, schooled by the greatest showman of all, Lance Franklin. If it is his last finals series in the red and white, he’ll want to make it a special one. And the Swans won’t be cowed by Melbourne after they came from behind to beat the Demons by 12 points at the MCG in round 12. Many believe the Demons have the highest ceiling in the competition. We saw that at the Gabba in round 23 when they demolished the Lions, especially in the first half when they jumped to a 66-point lead. It was a timely reminder of how good they can be across the entire ground, with Clayton Oliver, Christian Petracca and Angus Brayshaw leading the way through the midfield. Bailey Fritsch and Kysaiah Pickett both kicked four goals, amply demonstrating that the Demons have multiple scoring options. They might have regained their mojo at precisely the right time. ASHLEY BROWNE Prediction: Melbourne by eight points MAKING A STATEMENT: Young key forward Logan McDonald kicked three goals in the Swans’ thrilling win over the Demons in round 12.
Longest winning sequence: 8, round 11, 1937, to round 13, 1941; round 9, 1958, to round 17, 1962. Most goals in a game: 9, David Schwarz, round 24, 1994, at the SCG.

u Talk about a psychological battle. A Geelong team that cruised to the minor premiership, but with a record of stumbling in finals, versus a Collingwood side on a miracle ride from 17th in 2021 to fourth this year and with absolutely nothing to lose. You would think the Cats will win and book their home preliminary final, but could their finals demons haunt them against a hungry Pies side that has proven they hold no fears in close games? Oddly enough, the opposite proved true in round three, when Geelong overran Collingwood, which gave up a 37-point lead. Jeremy Cameron and Tom Hawkins combined for nine goals and their attacking avalanche proved too much for the Magpies in the end. On the flip side, Collingwood showed it can control the Cats and attack their game style, even if it didn’t hold up in the fourth quarter of that game. The Magpies had a finals tune-up in round 23 in front of almost 90,000 fans against Carlton, while Geelong has had a quieter fortnight, beating up on Gold Coast (round 22) and West Coast (round 23). The Cats’ forward line again looms as the obstacle Collingwood must overcome, while the Magpies’ slingshot attacking style will surely be met with a wall of Geelong defenders. The mature Cats side is predicted to put a dampener on the Magpies’ wild ride.

Prediction: Fremantle by 11 points
WESTERN BULLDOGS Away record: 5-10 Home record: 13-7 Highest score: 27.12 (174), round 11, 2000, at Subiaco Oval. Lowest score: 6.13 (49), round 23, 2016, at Subiaco Oval. Greatest winning margin: 93 points, round 11, 2000, at Subiaco Oval. Longest winning sequence: 6, round 11, 2006, to round 17, 2010.
u Fremantle hosts the Western Bulldogs in a crunch elimination final. The Dockers are back in September for the first time since 2015 and will be determined to make amends for dropping out of the top four where they spent much of the season. The Bulldogs return to the scene of last year’s Grand Final loss to Melbourne and have some demons to exorcise, although they did have a hefty win over West Coast at the venue back in round 11. The last time the Dogs played the Dockers at Optus Stadium – in round 12, 2021 – they got the job done by 28 points before Fremantle exacted revenge at Marvel Stadium by 17 points just recently in round 21. It is that particular result that Justin Longmuir will be looking at closely as he goes about replicating the accomplished defensive performance of that occasion. The Dockers held the Dogs to 78 points that evening and defence, which Longmuir has hung his hat on in 2022, might just be the order of the day again. Luke Beveridge’s side somewhat unlocked its scoring power against Hawthorn in round 23, returning 12.15.(87), but had struggled for three weeks prior. It will be an intriguing contest, with skipper Nat Fyfe and Tom Liberatore big outs for their respective sides. Although you shouldn’t rule the Bulldogs out in this situation, the Dockers might just have their game in better order right now.

Smith’s protégé was the great Ron Barassi. He played under Smith in those six Demon flags before becoming a coaching legend in his own right with two flags at both Carlton and North Melbourne. He returned to Melbourne amid great hoopla in 1981, but the Demons were a shell of their former great selves and the best Barassi could do was a pair of eighth-place finishes (in a 12-team competition) in 1982 and 1983.
It is instructive that both Leigh Matthews and Kevin Sheedy played at a time when Barassi was the biggest name in football, because they both resisted the temptation of returning to their former clubs as the “Messiah” with all the hype and expectation that entailed. Sheedy, a champion at Richmond, twice resisted entreaties to return to PuntTheRd.first was at the end of 1991, but he never warmed to the idea of replacing his great mate and former teammate Kevin Bartlett who had been sacked as coach. But the Tigers made a compelling – and lucrative – pitch at the end of 1999, as negotiations for a new deal at Essendon reached a stalemate.
Alastair Clarkson is embarking on a fairytale return to North Melbourne, but history says not all coaching homecomings end successfully.
The legend of Clarkson will be further enshrined if he can land North its next piece of silverware, but coach and club have no doubt become reacquainted knowing that in footy, fairytales do not always come true.

THE MESSIAH?: Alastair Clarkson will be hoping his return to North Melbourne as coach will be more successful than that of Melbourne great Ron Barassi to the Demons (inset).
98 AFL RECORD aflrecord.com.au WhatthinkingI’m with Ashley Browne E ven those with a heart of flint could not help but be moved by the emotion surrounding Alastair Clarkson’s return to North Melbourne as coach. From the “781” social media posts (he was North’s 781st player) to the warm and fuzzy embrace from all at Arden St on his first day back, this has been quite theThehomecoming.architectof the formerly ‘unsociable’ Hawks even tugged at the heartstrings when he said of coaching the team he played 93 games for: “When it comes time to make decisions as pivotal as this one, you think back to moments in my life where you needed support and this club gave it to me.” He was referring to the warm embrace he received from the Roos as a young player coming to terms with the sudden death of his older brother Andrew in a car accident. “Perhaps the shoe is on the other foot right now where this club needs some support and some help and that was pivotal in us making the decision to come back and help the club, help get itself back on track again,” he said. But now comes the hard part. Clarkson heading home is great for those of us who celebrate the romance in football, but clubs have been there before – and the results areNormmixed.Smith won four premierships as a champion full-forward for Melbourne, but left the club in 1949 to cut his coaching teeth with Fitzroy. He always appeared destined to return to the Demons and in 1952 he did, despite many at Fitzroy claiming he had unfinished business there. He did, but the siren call of home was too powerful and he was convinced to return to the Demons, where he became one of the all-time great coaches in League history, leading the club to six premierships between 1955 and 1964.
The romance is one part of it, but the challenge ahead is monumental.
You have to wonder whether Sam Mitchell, whose standing at Hawthorn sits not too far behind Matthews, considered that very thing when he disqualified himself from coaching searches at other clubs to fill Clarkson’s very large shoes at theThereHawks.have been other favourite sons who returned home to coach premierships. Former Carlton captain Robert Walls did so at the Blues in 1987 after five years with Fitzroy.
But the Blues were perennial finalists who just needed a fresh voice and a few tweaks. Clarkson is joining a back-to-back wooden-spooner.
