OTHER CRITICAL FINALS INFORMATION
- CDFNL Grand Final will take place on Saturday 10th September 2022 at Central Reserve, Colac;
- GDFL Grand Final is on Saturday 10th September 2022, at St. Albans. The push-back of the GFNL Finals Series by one week, ensures that GDFL & GFNL leagues don’t share the same Grand Final date;
- To enable the push back in the GFNL finals series, the implementation of a bye/split round is under way for the weekend of Saturday 20th August 2022. Clubs will communicate and coordinate with their opposing club to ensure certain games can be scheduled as a ‘Round 19’ fixture. This will ensure no club/team has two weeks off in a row, leading into the Finals Series.
AFL Barwon is looking forward to the competitive, exciting and memorable Finals Series across all four leagues and thanks all community members, for their active participation and support of the 2022 seasons.
