Cette journée a été marquée par le probant succès de Collingwood face aux Cats de Geelong dans le choc du championnat qui avait des allures de répétition de Grande Finale. Malgré un manque de réussite lié à une grande maladresse dans la finition, les Magpies ont tout de même tenu le tenant du titre à distance grâce à une victoire 107 à 85.
Au classement, Collingwood compte désormais 6 points d'avance sur Geelong et 8 sur Saint Kilda qui a renoué avec la victoire en étrillant l'équipe de Port Adelaide sur le score de 151 à 57.
Les Western Bulldogs (photo) ont profité de la défaite de Fremantle (69-123 contre les Kangaroos de North Melbourne) pour prendre une option pour finir dans le Top 4.
Enfin, dans le match des mal classés, les Brisbane Lions ont battu in extremis la lanterne rouge West Coast par 5 petits points d'écart (70-65).
