The locals fielded a stronger side than the one beaten by Melbourne the previous Saturday, but were again comfortably defeated. A partial half-holiday was declared in Brisbane, helping boost the crowd.
Kickoff was delayed 30 minutes, before Queensland won the toss and play started. After conceding two early behinds, the locals put Melbourne's goal under siege in the early stages without registering any score. Queensland equalised during the second term but the visitors got a late goal to narrowly lead at the half.
