Overview

• Geelong defeated Brisbane 16.16 (112) to 11.8 (74) at the MCG, earning a week off and a home preliminary final after controlling clearances and inside-50s.
• The AFL reviewed the Cam Rayner double free-kick sequence and ruled the first off-the-ball decision against Mark O'Connor incorrect while upholding the subsequent free against Zach Guthrie.
• Brisbane co-captain Lachie Neale left late with a right calf injury, with coach Chris Fagan saying he was not expecting good news as scans determine the severity.
• Hawthorn beat GWS 16.11 (107) to 13.10 (88), squandering a 42-point lead before steadying through late goals to book a trip to Adelaide for next week's semi-final.
• Giants forward Darcy Jones suffered a suspected ACL injury, substitute Josh Kelly sparked the third-quarter surge with 18 disposals and two goals, and GWS exited the finals.
