Review Grand Final, 2024 - Sydney vs. Brisbane Lions

[3KZ is Football]

I loved the respect accorded to Zorko and Lester as they were given the honour of carrying the Premiership Cup and leading the players into the rooms.

 

[Seedsman_]

Your team has shown an incredible amount of resilience to win this grand final after the result last year and the start to this. You should all be immensely proud of your football club with what they’ve been able to achieve. They have been the best team of the last two years.

Congratulations and cheers to the champs.

 

[Lions Flag 2020]

That was pretty good

 

[Nuggo]

I am in footy heaven right now! Go you bloody Lions! Kept thinking how young some of our players. Will Ashcroft coming off an acl and winning a normy- just incredible. My boy Cal! The list goes on. Hope the lads soak this up.

I love draft rorts

Oh boy we are. What a win. That one felt so special.

Anyone heard from Kingy....hahaha

Well done Brisbane a fully deserved win.

Thrilled to see Ashcroft win the Norm Smith you've got a future captain right there

[SHOGUN_31A]

Much too good today Lions. Enjoy a very well earned flag.

 

[ClintEastwood]

Congrats on achieving the ultimate. Enjoy it!!

 

[lionsrules]

Love you All
Premiers !

 

[Ray Button]

Wow just wow, I have been on this board since 2002 and I almost thought I’d never see this moment but here it is

After our 01/02/03 3-peat, statistically I figured it'd be 54 years before our next premiership. Given I'd be a hundred and something by then, I'm glad the boys came good a bit earlier.

 

[Bucking Beads]

So happy for Joe Daniher!! What a player. If he walks away after today I’ve got nothing but love for him.

 

[BrisVegasDru]

Anyone know where i can back our reserves side to win next year

Amazing day just as good as 2003, these boys are all legends now, suspect Zorko may retire, really hope Joe stays i love them all!

Have a great night my lion loving brethren!

has played an excellent finals series and has flown under the radar in my opinion:


Elimination Final vs Carlton (Gabba)
8 disposals & 2 goals

Semi Final vs GWS (Giants Stadium)
17 disposals & 1 Goal

Preliminary Final vs Geelong (MCG)
11 disposals & 3 goals

Grand Final vs Sydney (MCG)
14 disposals & 4 goals

Averaged 12.5 disposals & 2.5 goals per game.

Well done Brisbane Lions, 2024 AFL Premiers. To be 2-5 after the first 7 games and then storm all the way to the Grand Final and win it by 60 points.....awesome performance. As for Sydney....under coach John Longmire.....1 win and 4 losses in Grand Finals...they keep falling short.

Enjoy the celebrations.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Great story but surely Neale should’ve won the norm. 6 centre clearances, 11 score involvements and 17 contested possessions

 

[brutus76]

If Joe retires i hope he buys some more land and some sheep and a tractor

I'm sure Mr and Mrs McCluggage will give some free cows from Allansford if need be

 

[Nuggo]

Great story but surely Neale should’ve won the norm. 6 centre clearances, 11 score involvements and 17 contested possessions

Probably a quiet last quarter due to his foot shadow what was a normsmith performance.

 

[Kevvo]

Far out. Enjoy everybody.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Great story but surely Neale should’ve won the norm. 6 centre clearances, 11 score involvements and 17 contested possessions

I thought Ashcroft was the most influential player on the field. Neale was fantastic but boy can we be excited about Ashcroft

Today was a good day

on the ABC just now, when asked about Joe Daniher:

"I'll be in his ear, saying come on mate, let's go back to back."

 

[Mr Ripper]

Funny old game, foot-ball.

 

[Lunchtime]

I thought Ashcroft was the most influential player on the field. Neale was fantastic but boy can we be excited about Ashcroft

Right decision. Ashcroft a deserving Norm Smith medal winner.
