[McIvor]

Heard a useless stat on SEN this morning; never in the history of VFL/AFL has there been a final score of 120-60.

Pretty useless huh lol

Most important stat in the last 21 years lol.

All time.

From the dark days of the Go Home 5, through this whole year, to this.

May still need a Joe replacement but fingers crossed Joe goes round again.

If anyone is at Springfield today, would love to see some pics of the boys. Also, anyone know if there's something in Brisbane being organised? Let's hope it's not left to Steven Miles or it'll be in Mt Gravatt!!!

Yeh who cares about the rain!

I gave Charlie that scarf - he was saying how cold it was today so I somewhat impulsively offered it to him! I’m so happy to see he is still holding onto it

What a ride it’s been!!! I was 16 years old when we won back in 01. Loved it no doubt but I didn’t appreciate it as much as I did yesterday. Something about enjoying it as an adult just hits different. Also helps that my partner and 2 year old let me enjoy yesterday and even today ….. so many drinks hahah tomorrow is gonna be painful

From where we were to right now…. Speechless.

Fagan, wow…. All the shit you’ve copped the past few years you can say “get a dog up ya!”

Love the lions … don’t even know any of you people in this forum but I love you too hahah

I do wonder what Dew's role will look like next year. I hope it's more official and in a larger capacity.

Same goes for Cotchin as well.

Congratulations

You give me hope in the misery we have been in since 2000

Love the way you’ve played the past month

Larger capacity? What are you trying to say?

2:20 to go in the 2nd quarter - we all knew

The greatest season we’ve ever had and one of the best ever full top.

It also had the sweetest redemption/ revenge arc.

1) Kicking out the Carlton (who made it hard for Fitzroy whilst we were at Princes Park).
2) Kicking out the Giants after losing in crap circumstances a few years ago.
3) Sending Geelong packing after years of trouncing’s in Victoria and prelim losses.
4) Demolishing the Swans who used to pick us apart at will with no mercy just as much as Richmond and Geelong in our terrible years.

Yesterday was the best sporting moment of my life and will cherish it forever! Thanks Lions!

Listening to the Roar Deal podcast, it sounds as though Andrew Wellington has a handle on the coaching positions. Gave credit to our assistants who may not be getting the recognition that is owed to them for the job they've done this season.

Who’s the kid? Will wasn’t born in 2003!

Don’t ruin a good story for the sake of a few facts

Who’s the kid? Will wasn’t born in 2003!

Always has been mature beyond his years. That's pretty big for preconception though.

What an amazing day. Probably the best day of my life.

We were scintillating. Selfless, skillful and exceptionally tough. We never gave them a chance.

Was the perfect day and build up. Each of our finals wins had a wonderful redemption arc as described by RoyBoy17 above.

Having the chance to watch it with my best mate for which we have both been members since 2013 (our whole adult life) was special considering the beatings we used to cop. I remember turning up to games with the optimism that we'd still be in it at half time. How times have changed.

The cherry on top was our both our partners being able to scab a ticket from some departing Swans fans to watch the final quarter with us.

I still couldn't accept that we had won it by half time. I couldn't keep the tears away half way through the third quarter when the realisation hit me that the cup was finally ours.

While no team "deserves" a premiership, I can't help but feel this team has taken its rightful place as the champion team.

 

[dlanod]

That said, if we make it next year, I’ll go. I suspect the Footy Gods will be appeased by my sacrifice this year.

That's my logic too. Hopefully I'll see you there (and then piss bolt in the opposite direction before you see me).

Brisbane bury their AFL demons as stubborn optimism turns into unbridled joy | Jonathan Horn

Lions had to overcome pain of grand final defeat last year and go the long way through this finals series to claim a first premiership under coach Chris Fagan

Thanks for posting that,great article. Sounds like the writer knows more about football than all these so called experts in the rest of the media.

3KZ is Football’s Grand Final Record

4-0 with me at home (2001,2002,2003,2024)

0-2 with me there
(2004,2023)

You better not go to another Grand Final if we make one. If I have to go Tonya Harding on you to ensure it….l.l

Pretty useless huh lol

There is a Twitter account dedicated to this type of stat! (My favourite stat is the most frequently occurring scoreline of 80-79 which has happened 15 times).

But on topic, I was at the 'G yesterday somewhere in the stands on the 4th floor above the lions cheer squad. What a day it was! You lions fans know how to make noise. It was an awesome experience singing Country Roads, and doing the LIOOOONS chant with you all.

When Eric Hipwood slotted that goal, I knew we had it in the bag.

I went with my sister who was born in 2004, so she has never experienced a lions flag. I had never fully experienced one either as I was far too young to appreciate the three-peat, and 2004 was the first season I fully followed the club and AFL as a whole. So it has been a long 20 years, but we got there!
