{{AFLGameFooter |notes=
*Port Adelaide was restricted to its lowest ever losing score (and its second lowest score of all time), going down to St Kilda 15.12 (102) to 5.6 (36).
*[[David Zaharakis]] kicked the winning goal in the final seconds, ensuring that Essendon beat Collingwood for the first time on [[Anzac Day]] since [[2005 AFL season|2005]].
*Richmond won their first match of the season, winning against North Melbourne by 36 points.
*Fremantle also won their first match of the season, defeating Sydney by 21 points, in the process snapping a five-match winless streak against the Swans which had stretched back to 2004.
*Geelong defeated Brisbane by 93 points. The Brisbane Lions' score of 5.3 (33) was the lowest in club history (although both predecessors of the merged club, the {{AFL BB}} and {{AFL Fit}} had scored lower). The club's previous lowest score of 5.5 (35) was also scored against Geelong at Skilled Stadium, two years earlier in [[2007 AFL season]]. Additionally, Geelong amassed 490 disposals, smashing the old record of 469 disposals set by West Coast in 2007 and matched by Geelong in 2008; their 254 handpasses was also a record. These two records would stand for seven days.
*Cold and rainy conditions in [[Melbourne]] saw the MCG host its lowest crowd (14,129) since 2004.
