The visitors were on top early, but failed to capitalise, and allowed Melbourne to kick the last three goals of the opening quarter. Brisbane then suffered a number of injuries to players, conceding five goals to nil in the third quarter on the way to their worst AFLW loss.
Best were Purcell, Hore, and Hanks.
