THE LAST TIME THEY MET

Melbourne gave Brisbane a real run for its money and led for most of the night until the last minute or two when ANB gave away a free kick for deliberate out of bounds and the Lion’s kick from an angle naturally went through the middle.

Kozzy Pickett with five goals was irrepressible.
