AFL 2025: Round 22 in Focus
Hawks Hammer Pies to Stay in Finals Frame
Hawthorn 17.8 (110) def. Collingwood 6.10 (46)
Hawthorn powered to a 64-point demolition of Collingwood at the MCG on Thursday night, tightening their grip on a finals berth. The Hawks’ tall forward line proved unstoppable, with Mabior Chol, Jack Gunston, Mitch Lewis and Calsher Dear combining for nine goals. The Pies’ woes deepened when Jeremy Howe was stretchered off early, leaving their defence exposed against a rampant home side.
Cameron Steers Cats Past Plucky Bombers
Geelong 15.19 (109) def. Essendon 10.5 (65)
Geelong held firm to see off a spirited Essendon by 44 points at GMHBA Stadium on Friday night. Jeremy Cameron booted four goals to move to 79 for the season, edging closer to the ton. The Bombers stayed in touch until the last term but the Cats’ class told late as they powered away to keep their top-two hopes alive.
Saints Edge Tigers in MCG Nailbiter
St Kilda 8.8 (56) def. Richmond 7.10 (52)
St Kilda made it three wins on the bounce, holding off Richmond by four points in a war of attrition at the MCG on Saturday. The Saints started brightly with a 20-point opening term lead, but the Tigers kept coming. Marcus Windhager was immense with 32 touches, while Jack Sinclair’s late midfield move proved decisive in securing the hard-fought victory.
Swans Stun Lions in Gabba Thriller
Brisbane 13.12 (90) def. by Sydney 13.14 (92)
Sydney dealt a major blow to Brisbane’s premiership defence, edging the reigning champs by two points at the Gabba on Saturday. Isaac Heeney was unstoppable with five goals as the Swans played bold, running footy to silence the home crowd. The Lions surged late with three goals in the final minute, but the visitors held firm to snatch a famous win.
Suns Survive Late Blues Surge at Marvel
Carlton 11.8 (74) def. by Gold Coast 13.15 (93)
Gold Coast held off a furious Carlton fightback to claim a 19-point win at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night. Ben King was the difference with six goals, while Matt Rowell and Touk Miller controlled the midfield. The Suns looked home and dry before the Blues booted six of the last seven majors, but the visitors had banked enough early to secure the points.
Dockers Snatch Late Thriller Over Power
Port Adelaide 13.8 (86) def. by Fremantle 13.14 (92)
Fremantle kept their top-four push alive with a dramatic six-point win over Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night. Trailing by 14 early in the final term, the Dockers stormed home, capped by Alex Pearce’s towering mark and goal in the dying minute. Port’s blistering eight-goal second quarter wasn’t enough as Freo finished with four of the last five majors.
Giants Cruise Past Roos in Canberra
GWS 20.13 (133) def. North Melbourne 12.7 (79)
GWS bounced back in style after a heavy round 21 loss, cruising to a 54-point win over North Melbourne at Manuka Oval on Sunday. Callum Brown booted five goals to equal his career best, while Jake Stringer added three before being subbed out. The Giants controlled proceedings from the outset, leading by 58 midway through the third term before easing off to secure a vital top-eight victory.
Bulldogs Edge Dees in MCG Thriller
Melbourne 15.9 (99) def. by Western Bulldogs 15.15 (105)
The Western Bulldogs kept their finals hopes alive with a tense six-point win over Melbourne at the MCG on Sunday. In a week dominated by Simon Goodwin’s sacking, the Demons pushed hard under caretaker guidance, but the Dogs’ six-goal final term proved decisive. Luke Beveridge’s side weren’t at their best, yet did enough to stay in the September hunt.
Crows Survive Eagles Scare in Perth
West Coast 12.6 (78) def. by Adelaide 13.9 (87)
Adelaide clung to top spot after edging West Coast by nine points in a Sunday thriller at Optus Stadium. Trailing late, the Crows found a spark through Izak Rankine, who racked up 20 second-half touches and a goal after a quiet start, while Riley Thilthorpe booted three after the break. The Eagles led for long stretches and pushed the ladder leaders to the brink, but could not see out what might have been the result of 2025.
