Round 22 was predicted to be a big round and it didn’t disappoint. The three blockbuster games – Collingwood v Essendon, Fremantle v West Coast and Port Adelaide v Adelaide - were all close, high standard matches. Collingwood kick started the round with a 16-point win against arch-rival Essendon and in one of the matches of the season, Fremantle was too strong for West Coast, winning by 14-points. Port Adelaide finished its outstanding home and away season today with a 16-point win against home-town rival Adelaide.
