This was a special round where all of the teams headed to Perth to play a game with all of the action spread across four days. The round featured two battles between teams in the top three, starting with Thursday’s game that saw Ally Wilson and the local team come back from a halftime deficit for the 85-81 win over Isobel Borlase and Bendigo. Geelong was finally able to play as constructed on Friday, getting big games from Mackenzie Holmes and Alissa Pili to win 105-77 against Sydney in their bid to stay out of last place. Southside Melbourne looked strong in the second half on Saturday in an 82-58 win over Dallas Loughridge and Adelaide. The event ended on Sunday with Canberra trying to increase their playoff chances, but losing to Courtney Woods and Townsville 78-69. Regular home site games resumed on Tuesday, including Canberra picking up another win, this time over Stephanie Talbot and Adelaide 67-61. Perth hosted in their usual arena this time and were led by Ally Wilson, but Miela Sowah paced Townsville in an 82-76 win over her former team to sit in the top spot.
