  • Will Ashcroft finished with three goals and sealed the 86-76 win with a goal on the final siren.
  • A severe storm warning from the Bureau of Meteorology delayed on-field warm-ups and forced teams indoors before the first bounce.
  • Hugh McCluggage celebrated his 200th AFL appearance with 27 disposals for the Lions.
  • Brisbane has won four consecutive matches to consolidate its second-place position on the ladder.
  • The loss drops the Western Bulldogs to ninth with a 10-8 record and coach Luke Beveridge said they must win almost every remaining game to keep their finals hopes alive.
