The top eight and finals week one matchups have been determined following a highly anticipated and exciting final day to the 2022 AFL home and away season. As the minor champions, Geelong will play host to Collingwood in the first qualifying final and the game will probably take place at the MCG.
With everything on the line for the Top 8 remaining teams in the Premiership as they head towards the AFL Grand Final, which will be played at the MCG on a Saturday in late September or early October, the AFL Finals offer Aussie Rules betting fans some of the best opportunities to enjoy a footy bet of the year. The 23-week regular or home-and-away season, during which the league’s 18 clubs compete for competition points and ladder placing, is when the annual AFL Premiership is played across the nation.
The four-week end-of-season finals series pits the eight AFL teams in the top eight positions of the AFL Ladder against one another, with two clubs being ousted from the playoffs in the first three weeks. The final two teams then square off in the much anticipated AFL Grand Final game during the fourth week of the finals, with the victor taking home the Premiership trophy and all the attention.
AFL Great final parade
A long weekend that includes the AFL grand final begins with a public holiday on the Friday before Grand Final day in Victoria. Fans of all ages can view the athletes competing in the Toyota AFL Grand Final 2022 by attending the Toyota AFL Grand Final Parade.
The Toyota cavalcade that is transporting the Grand Final teams from the city to Yarra Park at the MCG will include marching bands and wandering performers.
How AFL 2022 Round 23 will go in order of events?
On Friday, the victor of Brisbane vs. Melbourne advances to the final four, while the loser almost definitely hosts an elimination final; the actual seeding will be announced on Sunday;
On Saturday, Fremantle can maintain its chances of finishing in the top four by defeating GWS in Canberra, but it will have to wait until the Swans’ game to find out; In the late afternoon on Saturday, Geelong celebrates its minor championship win over West Coast at home; Richmond can clinch seventh place by defeating Essendon on Saturday;
Sunday morning: To keep the pressure on Carlton, the Western Bulldogs must defeat Hawthorn in Launceston; Sunday: If the Bulldogs win by two goals or more, Carlton must defeat Collingwood to participate in the finals, while a win for the Magpies secures a top-four position;
Sunday evening: Depending on prior results, Sydney might need to win to lock up a top-four or top-two berth (perhaps with a percentage race like the Brisbane-West Coast game from last year), while St. Kilda might be mathematically vying for the final spot in the eight.
How the AFL 2022 finals matches are systemized?
A final eight system will be utilised for the 2022 AFL finals series. The “double chance” is given to the top four teams in the eight when they compete in the week one qualifying finals. If a top-four team loses in the first week, it still advances to the finals and faces the victor of an elimination final in the semi-final the following week.

The bottom four of the eight compete in knockout matches; only the victorious teams advance to the following week. In the first two weeks, the team with the higher ladder rank has the home-state advantage; in the third week, the team that won the qualifying final has the advantage. In the third week, the winners of the semi-finals from week two play the winners of the qualifying finals in the first week. The winners of those matches move on to the grand final.
