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

 

[terrybull]

It won’t happen, but South Melbourne jumpers with white shorts vs Fitzroy jumpers with blue shorts. Work of art!

Think it will be a sell out?

Doesa polar bear shit on ice.

 

[Toump Ass]

To think if Geelong had won they’d be hosting a home Granny against the minor premiers because of ‘tradition’.

Pretty sure Geelong's home ground is in Geelong? Grand final is at the MCG the year.

This.

I guess you will st back and relax then.

 

[.Shotties.]

No asterisk?

Have you not heard of this little thing called academies?

Yeah, Essendon has one. Very opaque eligibility requirements and little visible development work.

 

[Freomaniac]

First time in a long while I'll be happy with whoever wins in a grand final. A close, tough game please.

Agreed.....

So much hinged on the Cats vs Brisbane game.

Like you 1st time in a long time, I can be happy with either outcome.

 

[mcgarnacle]

I think Swans will win.

They haven't left Sydney since mid-August whereas Brisbane are coming off two very tough and close games and will be travelling for the third week in a row.

Fatigue management will be massive for BL this week, as well as the health of the Big O. I don't think the travel has been a big factor for them, considering it's been Sydney and Melbourne in consecutive weeks rather than Adelaide or Perth. But a big psychological strain on them preparing for these matches. The belief they must have coming back from behind can't be discounted.

The Swans last played at the MCG way back on Sunday 28 April v HAW. BL have seen it twice in the past 6 weeks, including yesterday.

Also, I wonder how Longmire approaches this behind the scenes, considering he's been HC for the past 3 Grand Final losses - '14, '16, '22.

 

[The 747]

Lions for mine.

 

[mcgarnacle]

will be a good one, both gf runner ups of past two years. Swans should win, but they get a bit of stage fright on the big day. Lions could win it.

Will be interesting if both states get something going about this like the origin, as afl will enjoy the northern state battle. Should beat all TV records for GF.

It's a club Grand Final, nothing origin about it.

 

[RCAB]

To think if Geelong had won they’d be hosting a home Granny against the minor premiers because of ‘tradition’.

At least this flag won’t have that asterisk

Yes because Geelong play that ground so well

 

[Maddo11]

First time in a long while I'll be happy with whoever wins in a grand final. A close, tough game please.

As a swans fan that lives in Brisbane and goes to more Lions games than Swans, this is the dream result for me lol. Go swans but hope it's a good game

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

cry?

??

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Two strong finishing teams head to head. Might well go down to the wire.

Cardiologists nationwide rub their hands with glee.

 

[MVille Swan]

Swans will get revenge for our 1899 Grand Final loss.

Damn well hope so. That loss has been gnawing away at me and messing up my sleep for
125 years now.

 

[MVille Swan]

Don't think swans fans will appreciate their team wearing sky blue

Steady on, we all know how well its gone for Carlton.

 

[kickazz]

I thinks Sydney are a stronger side and have been using the ball really well going forward lately and should win. But the Lions do have the game to beat them.

 

[Bonz]

Oh ffs.

We're going to get a metaphorical Katy Perry reference from BT on the final siren if Brisbane win it.

No choice, Swans have to win to save us from this humiliation.

Will ensure a message is passed onto the team for motivational purposes.

 

[voorhees]

2 teams battling it out at a neutral venue, no advantage just pure winner takes all.
early tip would be Sydney
strength and a fantastic setup...going to be a cracker come Saturday!

 

[Franc de Borges]

Have to assume any Victorian on here bemoaning the fact that there’s no local team in it must be over 70 years old.

This is an ideal outcome for 99.9% of us.

 

[Chief]

A friend just posted their plane ticket receipt. $3200 return for two adults.

Reckon the crowd will be 70-30 Brisbane's way. IMO most neutral supporters there on the day would go for Brisbane

 

[Toump Ass]

Probably been noted already but how bad did gws shit the bed. Had both these teams on toast and choked.

Fair play to lions massive effort to come from behind twice this finals series.

 

[dean33]

Whoever loses, that'll be 2 grand final loses in the past 3 years with 0 wins, ouch.

Even worse if it’s the swans as it will be their 4th grand final loss in a decade. That’s entering Collingwood territory.
