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

[Shai]

What a day, the Lions hit it for 6 and the best horse in the country won

I have heard so many people say how disappointed they were that the game was one-sided. Had they been watching closely they would have seen a perfect example of how brilliantly our lovely game can be played.
Hardly a disappointment, nor a waste of time. Best ball game on the planet, especially when it's played to this level of perfection. Those who say otherwise know little of the joys sport can provide. They watch it for the wrong reasons.

I like a close game but also like a powerful drubbing

Shades of 2003, saving the best for the GF

I caved

I did want to buy it on grand final day... changed my mind earlier in the week (would have just got the bluray and the victory pack set etc). But it was there, I had to have it

Wow I like the cover it even references the prelim too, about 1998 Geelong fans went.

Rookie error, it’ll be in the bargain bin next week

Rookie error, it’ll be in the bargain bin next week

JB had 20% off so it was $16 - worth the price of being able to watch Sydney get thrashed over and over and over again (makes a nice change from the 2014 grand final).

I still intend on getting the bluray and victory pack upon release.

Shame that the quality of the grand final dvd started slipping in 2012 - onward. I thought 2015 was ok (if you liked watching footage that resembled being under water), 16-18 were passable. But this 2024 dvd its like watching a mid 90s video on a 33.6k modem.

Upscaling makes it slightly better but oh boy its not great. May as well just watch the recording off the hdd instead

Bow down to your new god, Hipwood!!

Just some trivia:

Apparently South Melbourne & Fitzroy first battled at the SCG in an exho in 1905

Fitzroy played in the first VFL match at the SCG in early 1903. Apparently that was also the first official VFL match to trial worn player numbers on the back of guernseys (a decade later 1912 was when it became common practice). Crowd of 18K watched them defeat Collingwood.

On 7th July 1883 South Melbourne also apparently played the local side Sydney at the SCG (then known as the Association Ground).

But i feel geelong is a shoe in for the flag next year.

These two things do not compute.

First Norm Smith medalist with under 15 touches, while brother Josh gets 33 touches and kicks 3 goals without a vote

Who is this old man? Is he an ex-player?

 

[timokane]

Lacked any real moments.

Only one was the Hipwood goal early in the final quarter think it was like 2 mins in.

Was on all 4s and kicked the goal from 40 m out hard angle.

Absoulutly no pressure from the Swans and happen to get a boot on it.

It sunk the Swans hearts.

I was in the Swans cheer squad end and was like a wake in a funeral.

The red and white hearts sunk.

The other end Lions party mode.

All in all was a real stinker of a GF.

Nothing for the highlight reals.

I knew Lions would win as Swans just had no pressure and did not want the footy.

I think they had an alergy to the leather that day.

Lions had it all.

In other words was a training drill just in front of 100k.

As it stands right now

The bluray release of the 2024 grand final is November 6.


The release of the 2014 victory pack (EF, SF, PF and GF) IS November 20.

I'll be buying both

Anyone that's even remotely a fan of football should do the same.

Why when you can watch it on Kayo?

I like having my own copy

Even though 7/AFL/the media producers botch things from the start and don't have it at the best pristine quality possible

You are misinformed. Hipwood’s goal was actually in the 2nd quarter to put us 5 goals up. Was a big big moment.
Lohman’s 4 goals were all special.
His first 2 inside a minute were huge moments.
McCluggages goal after the Nick Blakey high was a good moment.
Ashcrofts goal in the stoppage to cement the Norm Smith and the best comeback from an ACL in history.
Rayner’s specky.
Ah Chees running bounce goal at the end of the third, was a great moment. This kick-started the celebrations.
Then Joe Daniher’s goal at the end was a super moment.
Fort celebrating with McInerney.
Zorko going up on stage with the captains to lift the premiership cup.
And then there was the coach, we witnessed the end to the best coaching story in the history of our game.

I agree it was no classic 2023 grand final but there were definitely moments. Not to mention the best season/finals series journey the sport has witnessed.
As a Lions fan, the grand final was the most enjoyable game I have been to. It was pure bliss.

Also where is Heeney’s sorry video to the swans fans for not showing up again on grand final day?

 

[Xtreme]

The bluray release is today. However JB Hifis listing of the victory pack... says that the grand final is on bluray disc. I may just wait 2 more weeks to find out if its true or not. I tend to only buy multiple copies of the same grand final if it's Hawthorn

 

[Fadge]

Lohman’s 4 goals were all special.

A month on and this is what I remember most from the game.

After a couple of early misses from Brisbane, Lohmann had the poise to kick two big goals to steady the ship and give Brisbane the momentum.

The kid is a star.

How good
