The regular season of the 2018 AFL premiership concluded today:
The final "Ladder"
The defending "premiers", Richmond Tigers, tops the ladder with an impressive 18-4 record.
In the bottom, Carlton lost its first seven matches, the longest losing streak to start a season in the club's history. Their final record of 2-20 is the worst season in their history. Their preivous worst season was in 1901.
Another notable story from this season is that Port Adelaide became the first team since the "Final Eight" was introduced in 1994 to fail to qualify for the finals after having 12 wins and 6 losses at one point. They ended with a 12-10 record.
Finally, and on a more happier note, Melbourne Demons qualified for the finals for the first time since 2006.
Next is the "Finals series". The best eight teams of season are ready to battle for a place in "The Grand Final", which takes place September 29 at legendary Melbourne Cricket Ground.
