Adelaide had their chances to retake the lead, but their finishing was lacking in the final third. Despite continued pressure, including efforts from their attacking players such as Goodwin and Yull, the final ball often went astray or was well-defended by Brisbane. The home side also struggled with the heat, with their tempo slowing down as the match wore on. Their quest for the Premiers now seems to be all but over. For Brisbane, the point earned is a step in the right direction, but they will feel they could have come away with all three points, especially after their strong second-half performance. The draw allows them to continue building some momentum, but they remain at the foot of the ladder and will need to improve their form in the coming weeks if they are to escape it. Overall, it was a well-fought game that ended in a fair draw, with both teams showing moments of quality but ultimately unable to claim the full spoils.
