Brisbane Set to Dominate Melbourne in Crucial AFL Round 10 Clash
Hey footy fans, we’ve got a big one brewing this weekend as Brisbane takes on Melbourne at the Gabba in Round 10 of the 2025 AFL season. It’s shaping up to be a defining matchup for both clubs—one trying to stay on top, the other just trying to stay relevant.
Now, let’s be real. into this game, the Lions are the clear favourites—and for good reason. Brisbane has been a mixed bag over the past month, but they’ve still managed to stay strong, taking solid wins against St Kilda and Gold Coast. That shock draw against North Melbourne last round? Definitely a wake-up call. But let’s not forget the Lions are still one of the most complete sides in the comp. They lead the league in clearances, especially stoppage clearances, and they’re sitting 8th for total points scored per game. Cam Rayner and Will Ashcroft are flying, and when those guys get going, Brisbane looks unstoppable.

Meanwhile, Melbourne has had a rollercoaster of a season. After a few promising wins against West Coast, Richmond, and Fremantle, they fell flat last round against Hawthorn. That 56-91 loss showed the cracks that have been forming. Their defence is struggling, leaking over 92 points per game, and they’re only putting up about 73 themselves—a far cry from their best form. Max Gawn in the ruck is still their big weapon, leading the comp in hitouts to advantage, but outside of that, it’s been patchy at best.
History isn’t on Melbourne’s side either. Brisbane has won four of the last five clashes between these two, including both matchups in 2024. Those games were tight, yes, but the Lions consistently found a way to edge out the Demons when it mattered.
So what can we expect on Sunday? Honestly, this could be a game where defences play a big role. Brisbane’s recent matches have all fallen under the total points line, and with Melbourne’s scoring woes continuing, we might be in for a lower-scoring affair than usual. The smart money looks to be on the under 173.5 total points.
Prediction-wise? Brisbane should get the job done, and comfortably at that. They’ve got too much firepower, better structure, and they're playing at home. I’m backing them for a big win. If you’re into a cheeky same-game multi, Rayner for 2+ goals and Ashcroft to rack up 25+ disposals look like solid picks.
Settle in, folks—Sunday at the Gabba is going to be a statement game for the Lions.
