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

 

[DrEvil_]

Lions' last chance. They really need to nail one for this group.

 

[Maddo11]

No OMac

Do they bring in Fort or a runner and just concede the ruck?

Grundy is going to destroy Daniher or Fort anyway is my thinking

Bring in Fort, we've only got two tall defenders so they'd really want all of Daniher Hipwood and Morris up forward as much as possible

 

[Maddo11]

What a time to be alive, to see big Joe collect his normie after bagging 5

5 Goals from 13 shots including 3 OOBOTF from 30m out lol

Looks like the Victorian GF has been infiltrated by unlikeable interstate visitors. Now they can understand what the rest of Australia feels like when you flee your leftie shithole state and set up camp.

I still think I'd take a flogging in a Swans vs Lions GF than a close Cats vs Swans GF.

However.... Sydney's average late season form is still firm in my mind. Anything could happen here.
With Sydney, I'm convinced it's as easy as stopping 2/3 of Warner, Heeney and Gulden. Can Brisbane do it?

[Elixuh]

Man the Katy Perry concert is going to be sick.

 

[demondavey]

I don't really watch it... The AFL lost me years ago.

Go and watch the VFL if you want to follow state footy

 

[Monocle]

Think Sydney will win 10 -17 point victory.

[demondavey]

Bad for the game not having a Victorian side in it, but it is what it is

The A stands for AUSTRALIAN….

There’s no V anymore

 

[HirdsTheWord]

A South Melbourne v Fitzroy GF will have 4am queues at the MCC

I know….

Hence why I said I’m glad it’s not 7pm the day prior….which is usually what it is with Melbourne teams in it

4am is piss easy

 

[demondavey]

Two best teams in it. Huge effort.

Lions by 8 with Rayner winning the norm smith.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Gosh it’s nice to have a grand final where the winner will objectively be deserved, not just winning because it’s played in their home state

That means you respect our 4 flags more than the Vic ones, right?

 

[Cleavy]

Go and watch the VFL if you want to follow state footy

there are interstate teams in the VFL these days...

 

[StillAtLarge]

Sydney easily. Almost beat the lions on their home deck with half their team falling over injured.
I'll say 6 goals

 

[PerthBoy86]

Oscar out is disappointing for the sake of the game, but I think a combo of Fort and Daniher or Hipwood could cover it. I mean many wrote us off in 2018 without NicNat. I would say its a 50/50 with a fit Big O but now it's more like a 70/30. Swans by 25, but will be going for the Lions. It'll be unfortunate for the loser (4 in a row or b2b gf losses).

 

[juss]

Cracking Grand Final, I think the Swans as they've been the standout through the year, however I do really hope the Lions win it, think they deserve one after being thereabouts for sometime.

 

[JayJ20]

I'm really hoping Brisbane win so I'll tip them. I don't know if they can pull of 3 consecutive big away games but what's one more game?

 

[Leon]

Lions by 4 points.

 

[The King!]

Watch the AFL milk the heck out of the Fitzroy/South Melbourne links over the next week to drum up some hype for what will be the most boring GF in the history of the game.

One team from NSW/QLD.. ok. Two teams from NSW/QLD - snoozefest.

Personally, I don't think I'll even bother watching it. My only inkling of care about this coming weekend is the Public Holiday on Friday.

Yet here you are talking about it endlessly the week prior

 

[Mayes2Gray]

I think Geelong. Just don’t want to count us out.

Carlton still in with a sneaky chance too, now you mention it

 

[Dan26]

Should be the highest TV ratings ever for a Grand Final. The four highest Grand Final TV audiences of all time all featured the Swans. The QLD and NSW audience is dependent on the local team playing, while the traditional football states get a similar TV rating every year. Brisbane and Sydney in it means maximum ratings in all 5 capital cities, something that’s never happened before.

And as a Victorian, how bloody good is it not to see Geelong in it. Most Vics would be loving this GF matchup. I was in the AFL members tonight and all the neutrals were going for Brisbane. We love it when our local rivals miss out.

 

[PCORF]

The two losing Grand Finalists from 2022 and 2023 meet in the 2024 GF.

Swans, incredible comeback in the QF in one of the best finals games of all time.

Lions, 2 amazing come from behind wins, they will surely inspire you. I hope the Lions learn from last year and roar to victory.

 

[Randomizor]

That means you respect our 4 flags more than the Vic ones, right?

Yep
