La 13ème journée a été marquée par quelques surprises comme les défaites de Collingwood face aux Western Bulldogs (98-106) et des Bombers face aux Demons (77-78). Les Giants du Greater Western Sydney ont remporté leur première victoire à l'extérieur de leur jeune histoire en prenant le dessus sur les Lions de Brisbane (125-80). Les Crows d'Adelaide ont relancé le suspense pour la course au Top 8 en battant les Kangaroos, l'un de leurs concurrents directs. Après leur troisième défaite de rang subie chez les West Coast Eagles, la baisse de régime des Suns de Gold Coast se poursuit remettant en question leurs fous espoirs de phases finales.
