The season featured eighteen clubs, ran from 22 March until 28 September, and comprised a 22-game home-and-away season followed by a finals series featuring the top eight clubs. The premiership was won by the Hawthorn Football Club for the eleventh time, after it defeated by 15 points in the 2013 AFL Grand Final. The season was marred by a series of off-field controversies, with three clubs penalised in 2013 for separate infractions which had taken place over previous years: , following an Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority investigation into the club's supplements program; , after illegal payments and draft-tampering charges relating to Kurt Tippett's 2009 contract extension; and , after an investigation into allegations that the club had intentionally lost matches towards the end of the 2009 season. Pre-season All Stars game The biennial All Star game played in the Northern Territory, featuring an AFL team and the Indigenous All Stars team, made up of some of the best Indigenous players in the game, returned for the 2013 pre-season. Richmond were selected as the AFL team to partake in the game, which was played at Traeger Park in Alice Springs.http://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/2013-02-09/tigers-no-match-for-all-stars-in-alice-springs Tigers no match for All Stars in Alice Springs Jennifer Phelan 5 October 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20131006055304/http://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/2013-02-09/tigers-no-match-for-all-stars-in-alice-springs 6 October 2013 dead 2013 Indigenous All Stars Game Friday, 8 February 7:45pm (ACST) Indigenous All Stars 5.0 (30) 8.1 (49) 12.4 (76) 14.6 (90) Johncock 3, Jones 2, Betts 2, Leroy Jetta, Ryder, Ugle, Thomas, Anderson, Bennell, Newman Bennell, Jones, Alwyn Davey, Johncock, Betts Nil Nil H 1.1 (7) 2.1 (13) 3.1 (19) 6.4 (40) McGuane 2, Stephenson 2, McDonough, A.Edwards Martin, S.Edwards, Conca, Grigg, Elton Nil Nil Traeger Park, Alice Springs 8,350 Report Polly Farmer Medal Harley Bennell http://afl.com.au NAB Cup 2013 NAB Cup The 2013 NAB Cup was won by the Brisbane Lions, their first ever win preseason competition win, when they defeated Carlton by 40 points.http://www.sportal.com.au/afl-news-display/lions-take-out-nab-cup-226116 Lions take out NAB Cup Jonathan Healy Sportal 24 March 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130321073909/http://www.sportal.com.au/afl-news-display/lions-take-out-nab-cup-226116 21 March 2013 dead 2013 NAB Cup Grand Final Friday, 15 March 7:45pm (AEDT) 1.2.0 (21) 2.6.6 (60) 2.7.7 (67) 2.7.9 (69) Bryce Gibbs, Zach Tuohy Betts, Casboult, Duigan, Kreuzer, Robinson, Rowe, White Gibbs, Simpson, Yarran, Kreuzer, Murphy N/A N/A A 0.5.3 (33) 0.7.5 (47) 0.12.10 (82) 0.16.13 (109) N/A Brown 5, Green 3, Zorko 2, Bewick, Karnezis, McGrath, Polkinghorne, Redden, Rich Rich, Zorko, Hanley, Brown, Karnezis, Moloney, Merrett, Green N/A N/A Etihad Stadium 24,884 Report Bannister, Margetts, Jeffery Michael Tuck Medal Daniel Rich Seven Network / Fox Footy * Due to the unavailability of the Gabba because of cricket commitments, the AFL chose to schedule the match at Etihad Stadium rather than Metricon Stadium in Queensland, citing that the largest possible crowd would be drawn in Melbourne ahead of any potential game on the Gold Coast.http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/afl/brisbane-lions-displeasure-grows-over-decison-to-play-nab-cup-grand-final-at-etihad-stadium/story-e6freck3-1226594267933 Brisbane Lions' displeasure grows over decision to play NAB Cup grand final at Etihad Stadium Greg Davis The Courier-Mail 10 March 2013 Premiership season The full fixture was released on Wednesday 31 October 2012.

During trade negotiations, information was uncovered which brought into question the legality under AFL rules of Tippett's 2009 contract extension with Adelaide. The AFL investigated Tippett's contract during October and November, and charged Tippett and Adelaide with a total of eleven charges relating to draft tampering and breaching the total player payments, including: Arranging a secret deal in which Tippett would be traded to a club of his choice at the end of 2012 Direct payments of $100,000 outside the salary cap in each of 2011 and 2012 Illegally arranging third-party deals in 2011 and 2012, resulting in Tippett receiving further money outside the salary cap in those years. Adelaide was considered likely to incur a loss of draft picks, among other penalties, if found guilty, but the AFL Commission was yet to complete its hearing into the matter when the National Draft was held on 22 November 2012, so the club was permitted to participate in the draft as normal. However, on the day before the draft, the club voluntarily relinquished its highest two remaining selections (No. 20 and 54) as a "gesture of goodwill" ahead of the hearing.http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/adelaides-goodwill-gesture-costs-it-draft-picks-20-and-54-20121121-29pov.html Adelaide's 'goodwill gesture' costs it draft picks 20 and 54 22 November 2012 The Age Caroline Wilson and Michael Gleeson Melbourne The final hearing took place on 30 November, and Adelaide and Tippett pleaded guilty to all charges. Adelaide was stripped of its first and second round draft picks, and banned from taking any father-son selections, in the 2013 National Draft, and received a $300,000 fine. Tippett was suspended for the 2013 NAB Cup and 11 premiership matches, with a further suspended sentence of 11 matches, and received a $50,000 fine. Several senior Adelaide personnel were also punished by the league: chief executive Steven Trigg and former football manager John Reid were each fined $50,000 and banned from AFL functions for six months (with a further suspended sentence of six months), and current football manager Phil Harper was banned from AFL functions for two months with a four-month suspended sentence.http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/more-news/crows-to-present-united-front-at-afl-commission/story-e6frf9jf-1226526986690 Adelaide Crows lose draft picks, fined $300,000 and Kurt Tippett receives 11-match suspension Scott Walsh Jesper Fjeldstad Adelaide Advertiser 30 November 2012 2 December 2012 In a separate hearing in January 2013, the AFL Players' Association revoked the accreditation of Tippett's manager, Peter Blucher, for at least one year.http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-01-24/tippett-manager-banned Tippett's manager banned for at least 12 months Matt Thompson Australian Football League 24 January 2013 11 February 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130127021633/http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-01-24/tippett-manager-banned 27 January 2013 dead Melbourne Football Club tanking scandal Melbourne Football Club tanking scandal Throughout the 2012/13 offseason, the league investigated the Melbourne Football Club over allegations that it had tanked during the latter part of the 2009 season – that is, that it had intentionally lost matches near the end of the season so that it would finish with no more than four wins, and therefore receive a priority draft pick. The league released its findings in February 2013, and found the club not guilty of tanking.http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/integrity-intact-demons-20130219-2epml.html Integrity intact: Demons Adam Cooper The Age 20 February 2013 20 February 2013 Melbournehttp://www.theage.com.au/afl/melbourne-demons/nothing-to-substantiate-tank-claims-demetriou-20130220-2eqtp.html 'Nothing to substantiate' tank claims: Demetriou Deborah Gough 20 February 2013 20 February 2013 The Age Melbourne However, it did find two of Melbourne's then-senior staff members – senior coach Dean Bailey and general manager of football operations Chris Connolly – guilty of "acting in a manner prejudicial to the interests of the competition". This related most specifically to a meeting in July 2009, which became known colloquially as "the vault", in which Connolly allegedly openly discussed the potential benefits to the club of tanking.http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/demons-cleared-guilty-fined-20130219-2epm0.html Demons cleared, guilty fined 20 February 2013 20 February 2013 Caroline Wilson The Age Melbourne The guilty parties received the following penalties: Connolly, who was still at the club in 2013 but serving in a role outside the football department, was suspended outright from serving in any position at any club until 1 February 2014.

The charges focussed on the poor business practices within the program, including allowing "a culture of frequent, uninformed and unregulated use of the injection of supplements" at the club, incomplete record keeping which had made it impossible to determine with certainty whether or not players had been administered banned supplements, and for failing to guarantee the health and safety of its players in its program. On 27 August, five days before round 23 and after two days of discussions between the club and the league, the following penalties were imposed relating to these charges: Essendon was fined $2 million (staggered over three years); this was the largest fine imposed on a club in the history of Australian sport. Essendon was ruled ineligible to participate in the 2013 AFL finals series, achieved by relegating it to ninth position on the ladder. Essendon was stripped of draft picks in the following two drafts: in 2013, its first and second round draft picks were stripped; in 2014, it was stripped of the first and second round draft picks it would have received based on its finishing position, but was granted the last draft pick in the first round. Senior coach James Hird was suspended from any involvement in any football club for twelve months, effective immediately. Football operations manager Danny Corcoran was suspended from involvement in any football club for four months, with a further two-month suspended sentence, effective 1 October 2013. Senior assistant coach Mark Thompson was fined $30,000.
