- The Lions dominated clearances (39-22) and inside 50s (65-52) but fell short due to inconsistent forward-half pressure and wayward kicking.
- Brodie Grundy was removed late in the match with a head knock and is undergoing a formal concussion assessment.
- Defender Justin McInerney is set for a lengthy layoff after suffering a likely posterior cruciate ligament injury.
- Brisbane, on 14 wins and a draw, must win one of its final two home-and-away matches to guarantee a spot in the top eight.
