With both teams applying pressure at a rating over 200 (215-206 with Adelaide ahead) it is no wonder that both teams have combined to record just three marks to this point of the third term. Since Round 8, both Brisbane (110 marks per game) and Adelaide (92 marks per game) sit in the top eight teams in this metric, at first and eighth respectively.

BEHIND - Lions (Cam Rayner)

After Brisbane registered only two behinds from five consecutive inside 50's, the Crows go coast-to-coast for their first goal from defensive 50 in tonight's match. The Crows have won just one of their last 25 matches in which they trailed at the final break.
15:40
Adelaide have been relentless in their hunt of the Lions, applying a pressure factor of 253 through the first half of the final term. No team has recorded a pressure factor over 240 in any term of any game in 2025. Illustrating this is Adelaide's 20 tackles in the final term, already five more than their tally in the third term.

SCORE
GOAL - Crows (Ben Keays)

Once again it's been Brisbane's ball use by foot in attack that has undone them in the final term. The Lions kicking efficiency of 37% in their forward half has resulted in eight behinds without a goal despite leading contested possessions (41-32), marks (21-16), clearances (12-5) and inside 50's (20-8) in the final term.

Adelaide claim their biggest scalp of the season with a resilient final term effort to hold off the Lions. Adelaide outscored the Lions 6.2 (38) to 1.7 (13) from their defensive half to spur them to victory.
