    • Brisbane won its next two games against bottom eight opposition to reach 12th place, but were to face Carlton, Richmond and Essendon (who then held the top three places respectively) in the following three weeks.

    • At the start of the final round, Melbourne, Collingwood and Brisbane sat 8th, 9th and 10th respectively, all on nine wins.

Brisbane beat Melbourne by 21 points of Friday night, then watched on Sunday as Sydney scored eight final quarter goals to overhaul Collingwood by 23 points.
    • The Bears finals appearance was short-lived, as the eventual priemers Carlton beat them by 13 points in the first week of the finals in a very high standard gamehttp://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCEQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.afl.com.au%2F&ei=VLj2TeacGaft0gGK8IWoCw&usg=AFQjCNHufLhKmtAcU8oMvPLCoeN1GbcroA.
    • It must be noted though, that the 10 wins and 12 losses of Brisbane in 1995, remains the worst record of a team in VFL/AFL history which qualified a team for the finals (excluding those seasons where more than half of teams qualified for the finals).
