AFL Grand Final AFL 2024 GRAND FINAL: 2024 Premiers BRISBANE LIONS

[FreoRicci]

Apparently the club was somewhat surprised last year when Lohmann re-signed, they all thought he was gone (supposedly to Essendon or Bulldogs). Less than a year later he's kicked four goals in a premiership side.

McCarthy getting injured, as much as it hurts for him, opened the door wide open for Lohman

I had a dream last night that Lohmann kicked four

Wonder what that would’ve been paying

Congrats lions. What a club they’ve become.

 

[Blackas87]

Congrats Brisbane, well deserved after 6 years as a contender.

Imagine busting your arse all season to win a premiership and your beer sponsor is XXXX Gold.

I feel so bad for them.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Congrats Brisbane, well deserved after 6 years as a contender.

Crazy especially when you consider that the only two times they failed to get as far as the prelims in that period, they lost both semis by less than a goal.

So is Daniher retiring?

Sydney supporters have wanted us to have an * next to our ‘16 flag because of the umpiring.

Unfortunately there might now be an * next to it, but it’s because we got to play Sydney.

And the margin was under 50 points

Swans hater or footy fan? Totally onboard either option!
Edit: personally i am very much less the former since Buddy retired.

Swans hating footy fan

If it's not Hawthorn dishing out the pain to them, I'm happy when others do

I probably won't watch it that many times... but I'll certainly watch it every now and then (starting shortly in fact lol). I was doubting that Brisbane would win - even with the first quarter I was kinda petrified that the result would have been a low scoring affair.

I like my high scoring contests, even if the other team gets restricted and stopped from scoring themselves

Lohmann was robbed

 

[FruitTingles]

The fire in the belly after losing a GF usually gives sides an edge when it comes time to push that extra 5%.

Amazing turn around from a slow start to the year. Fagan said he trusted the players right when things were going bad. Then we had the so called ‘end of season trip’ story and crap about division. It probably helped them to galvanise again and fight back.

Whats BTs so called big news emotional?

Does it really count as a win if you don't beat the Swans by 10+ goals in the GF?

Dennis Pagans return to coaching I thought

 

[CrowToon]

Up the Lions..suck it haters

The only thing Sydney fans should be doing is stop worrying about other clubs and focus on their team, more specifically focus on their coach and place a * next to his name (Longmire) because his record as coach in Grand Finals is absolutely poor.

Any idea what the unicorn on Grundy’s boots is for?

 

[purplearmy]

Flop final. Sydney don’t show up in grand finals. Well done Brisbane.

 

[pjcrows]

Put simply, Sydney's best players didn't turn up for a four quarter Grand Final.

Their pressure gauge statistic was 158. Their lowest in two years and lower than the 2022 GF.

 

[chickenonachain]

Did Logan McDonald actually get a possession?

 

[Roobs321]

Gotta feel relieved that the Swans did manage to narrowly get over the line in 2005 & 2012, would really suck if they hadn’t

 

[troybe]

Did Logan McDonald actually get a possession?

1 K, 1 M

Ugh Tina Arena. Thought she hated Melbourne and Australia because of COVID?

The sideways look for Tina isn’t something she or her fashion designer will be putting up on her website.
