- TriviaThe final quarter went for 1 hour 9 minutes and 54 seconds, making it the longest quarter in Victorian Football League/Australian Football League history, surpassing the previous record of 1 hour 1 minute 35 seconds set by the final quarter of the Round 2, 2022 match between Sydney and Geelong nearly 1 year earlier, and the third match in as many years to break this record. The clock continued to run while play was suspended about 13 minutes into the final quarter for 38 minutes due to a technical issue affecting power supply to most of the 'Gabba, which caused small fires in some of the lights. Play resumed after power was restored to three of the four light towers, with power starting to come back to the fourth tower as the game resumed.

Brian Taylor: [Angus Brayshaw kicks with just over 12 minutes remaining in the final quarter] Twenty touches for Brayshaw to...
[Most of the ground's lights go out]
James Brayshaw: Oh no!
[pause]
James Brayshaw: Oh no!
[pause for 25 seconds]
James Brayshaw: Well, I think we've got comms back but we've got lights out!
Abbey Holmes: The power is out here at the 'Gabba. The crowd is extremely loud. We have absolutely no idea what is going on. The torches, the iPhones have come on and the players from both sides are just coming together in the centre of the ground.
James Brayshaw: Abbey, shades of '96 Essendon-St Kilda out at Waverley.
