Preliminary Finals
Note: Brisbane played its "home" final at the MCG despite being ranked above Geelong due to the agreement then in place with the Melbourne Cricket Club that at least one game each week of the finals be played at the MCG.
Grand final
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
This was the first Grand Final in the history of the AFL to be played by two non-Victorian teams; Port Adelaide's first; and the Brisbane Lions' fourth consecutive.

Notable events
- St Kilda won its first ten matches of the season, which was at that time the longest winning streak in its history. This record stood until 2009, when the Saints won 19 games in a row.
- A five-minute brawl broke out between rivals Hawthorn and Essendon in the round 11 match, after which one Bomber (Justin Murphy) and four Hawks players received suspensions totalling 16 matches, and a combined total of $70,700 of fines were handed out. 27 charges were brought before the AFL Tribunal, the most ever from a single game.[1] The game is widely known as the "Line in the Sand Match," as the brawls were sparked in the third quarter after Hawthorn players were urged at a half-time address by club legend Dermott Brereton to metaphorically draw such a line; Brereton thought the young Hawks were being physically intimidated by the more experienced Bombers.[2]
- In Round 13, Geelong defeated the Brisbane Lions for the first time since the merged club was established in 1997. The win broke a 10-game winning streak for Brisbane against Geelong.
- During the Round 19 match between Sydney and North Melbourne, Sydney head trainer Wally Jackson suffered a fatal heart attack during the last quarter.[3] Most of the Sydney players were upset and distracted as Jackson was given CPR on the interchange bench; and despite Sydney having led the Kangaroos by 40 points at three-quarter time, they faded to lose by six points.
- On Saturday, 28 August 2004 (round 22), the Brisbane Lions set the VFL/AFL record for having the most experienced team in history. The 22-man Brisbane Lions squad had collectively played 3,740 senior career games,[4] and had collectively scored 3,399 senior career goals. Only four of the 22 players had not played over 100 AFL games;Jonathan Brown (90 games), Robert Copeland (74 games), Dylan McLaren (26 games) and Richard Hadley (24 games).[5]
