Red-hot Brisbane racked up a sixth straight AFLW win and a scoring record, roaring to second on the ladder after a 55-point thumping of Carlton at Ikon Park.
The Lions set an AFLW record by kicking at least one goal in 22 successive quarters as they charged to a 9.14 (68) to 1.7 (13) win on Saturday night.
Brisbane kicked the first six goals of the game before Breann Moody booted the Blues' first halfway through the third quarter, after a paltry first-half return of five behinds.
Back on the ground where they won last season's grand final, Brisbane were far more opportunistic than a Carlton team that fought hard but lacked polish In the forward half.
The 14th-placed Blues suffered a fourth straight loss, all of them by at least 33 points, and kicking just five goals across those games.
Carlton had good periods in each of the first three quarters, but let themselves down with inaccurate field and goal kicking.
It was Brisbane's biggest win of the season and their fourth by at least 45 points.
The Lions had eight different goalkickers, with Ellie Hampson the only player to boot two, after notching the final major of a one-sided contest played in slippery conditions.
Brisbane's Taylor Smith pulled four clear at the top of the competition's goalkicking chart despite spending most of the third quarter off the field.
She booted her 14th goal of the season from a 40-metre set shot in the second quarter, but left the field early in the third to have an ankle taped, before returning later.
"I'll be OK, we've got another week now so a little bit of recovery and it should be all good," Smith told Fox Footy.
"Wet-weather footy is never as pretty as you'd like it to be, but I think considering the conditions we were able to put together some nice passages of play throughout the game."
Carlton had a territorial edge in the opening minutes of the match but could only muster two behinds In the first quarter, trailing by eight at the first break.
As the first quarter progressed Brisbane moved the ball forward more regularly and Isabel Dawes pounced on a loose ball from.a stoppage and ran clear to kick the only goal of the term.
Brisbane kicked 4.4 to 0.3 in the second quarter to lead 38-5 at half-time.
They only won the third quarter by three points, with both sides kicking just a single goal, but pulled away in the fourth, booting all three goals of the term.
"They gave us a good lesson tonight for sure, they are a relentless side around the contest," Carlton coach Mathew Buck said.
"We've got some learnings to take away. We had some moments in the game that we would have liked to have capitalised on, but they were excellent."
