The Lions moved up to third on the ladder with the win following Melbourne's loss to Geelong on Thursday night.
The victory was also Brisbane's seventh from their past eight matches at Marvel Stadium and coach Chris Fagan was quick to point out his side's 4-4 away record in 2023, amid talk about its run of poor form at the MCG, having lost 13 of its past 14 games at that venue.
"I think we've played eight games on the road and we're 4-4 on the road which is not a bad road record," Fagan said.
"There's some banter about we're not much of a team on the road. I don’t know if any of you study the world of sport, if you're 50 per cent on the road, you're actually pretty good.
"The (NBA champions Denver) Nuggets, their home record was 31-7 (sic, 34-7) and their away record was 19-22 and they won it. If we can be around 50 per cent, I'll be happy with that."
Fagan said Andrews "was everywhere" after his dominant display and praised Jack Payne for limiting Max King to no marks and no goals, while freeing up the co-captain.
The Lions coach was "hopeful" on ex-skipper Dayne Zorko's availability for next round's clash with Richmond, while he was quick to hail Eric Hipwood after his four-goal haul made it 10 majors in his past three games.
"He's a bit of a criticised player but he's been in great form for the last three, four weeks," he said. "I think he's been in good form all year, he just wasn’t kicking goals.
"He was doing a lot of pressure work for others and creating opportunities for others. The last few weeks he's had some chances to score. His marking tonight, he was hard to stop. I thought he did a great job."
Fagan indicated he expected veteran pair Daniel Rich and Jack Gunston to still be another fortnight away from pushing for AFL selection after stepping away from the side to undergo a training block to help re-discover their best form.
