The finals phase of the 2018 tournament was held in the Queensland city of the Gold Coast, from the 25 – 28 October.[2]
QLD Blades won the tournament for a record tenth time after defeating NSW Waratahs 5–3 in the gold medal match.[3] Tassie Tigers claimed the bronze medal after defeating the Canberra Lakers 1–0.
Competition Format
Unlike previous editions of the Men's Australian Hockey League, the 2018 edition will include a very different format. Instead of the tournament being held at a single venue, the teams will play at least one home and away match during the pool stage, before converging on a singular venue for the Classification Round.[4]
The teams will be divided into two Pool A and Pool B, both consisting of four teams, with each team playing each other once. The teams will then progress to the Classification round, with each team playing a qualifying match, before progressing to either the fifth to eighth place playoffs, or the first to fourth place playoffs.

gollark: This renders my stuff surprisingly non-terribly.
gollark: Mine is somewhat tested against them and approximately works, but it's not really a priority.
