AFL Grand Final AFL 2024 GRAND FINAL - Swans v Lions Sat Sept 28th 2:30pm EST (MCG)

[Adelaide Hawk]

Just an aside, it's interesting to note only one coach has got his team into the finals every year in the past 6 seasons (2019-2024), and that is Chris Fagan. A great effort.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

McInerney should be okay

Might not be - that looked a particularly bad one

If he is, why wouldn’t Grundy be testing it at every opportunity? Even if he gets 4 weeks for targeting it, it probably wins you the flag

 

[Aaron Reed]

Swans to blow the game apart in the first half and cruise from there.

History suggests(without looking at it as I CBF, so could be completely wrong) that the team with the tougher prelim should win the GF.

Go Lions.

Didn't help Sydney 2 years ago or GWS in 2019. Collingwood won last year after a tight prelim however.

 

[Downhill Skier]

Hopefully our fresher legs means we can run out the game and get over the top of them .

 

[ApplecrossWC]

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

 

[catters05]

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.

 

[RAPPA]

Think I’ll tip the Rabbitohs

 

[Cmarsh]

It's fantastic for the game.

I'm really excited to see the first 'State of Origin' AFL Grand Final between the Sydney Swans and Brisbane Lions, it's great for the AFL and two brilliant teams set to play each other adding to the rich sporting rivalry between NSW and Queensland. Already I don't want one of them to have to lose. First time that there has been a Sydney vs. Brisbane Grand Final, although their predecessors South Melbourne and Fitzroy did play the 1899 Grand Final, a thriller that saw the Lions home over the Swans by 1-point. Given the thrillers in this year's finals series, hopefully we will get a close GF next week.

 

[Bagger72]

Brisbane have the better midfield.

 

[Andronicus]

AFL know who their cash cow is.

Rampe cleared is a joke.

 

[Toump Ass]

Brisbane, who will be getting this years Number One pick and got the Number One pick from two years ago. What a league!

Agree with your sentiment but the Swans have real nice kiss on the dick too, NGA academy is as much a big pile of baloney as father son entitlements, arguably even more so.

 

[Thrawn]

Swans have been the best team all year, will be too strong for them.

 

[RUNVS]

Brisbane have the better midfield.

You sir have insulted Sydney's honour and we demand satisfaction. I challenge thee to a duel.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Lions are primed to finally win it after several years of near misses.

They're in form at the right time, and I think they'll want to make amends of just falling short last year.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

H2H record in finals:

• PF (2003) = Sydney 56-100 Brisbane Lions

Brisbane lead the H2H record 1-0.

I'm just waiting for people to get triggered by historical trivia

 

[kaiserchief13]

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

 

[MUFASA12]

a win for the Melbourne cricket club members!

no Melbourne team! No queuing at ****in 7pm the night prior

Dw it’ll be a rossball vs hokball grand final next year

Yes, the 1899 Grand Final was a farce and does not deserve a mention.

Like clockwork
