This is Brisbane’s 6th straight year at the pointy end of the ladder - this thread was created halfway through the 4th of those years.

Before this thread: 6 finals, 1 win 5 losses
After: 10 finals, 8 wins 2 losses - 1 premiership and very nearly another

I think we have our answer.

Congratulations Brisbane, very well deserved

 

[Kram]

Well he sure showed me.

 

[HairyO]

And started by a Swans supporter. Boy oh boy.

 

[10571z]

If this is the peak, it's the best possible peak.

Premiership coach Fagan. Sounds like a nice career highlight to me.

 

[Daka]

About time they won, They have had the best list imo the last 4-5 years.

Peaked now.

A strong era for the Lions has been capped with the ultimate reward.

Really strong Finals series; only the Dogs and the Crows teams of the 90s have done similar; an all-out backs-to-the-wall no-margain-for-era assault on a Flag.

Can't realistically begrudge the likes of Lachie Neale, Andrew Harris and Charlie Cameron a flag. Very pleased for Joe Daniher.

The Lions were not to be denied in 2024 - I'll put my hand up and say I thought we would have rolled them last week and I thought Sydney were set to roll them today - but they had genuine resolve.

Kai Lohman, Callum Ah Chee were two who stepped up big style; Darcy Fort came in at short notice and did a man's job.

David King should write an apology letter to Fagan for his disgraceful media treatment of him. Whenever the Lions lose, its because they are outcoached, whenever they win it's because they have the best list. Plenty of teams have lists comparable or better than Brisbane's. Sydney is stacked with talent, Western Bulldogs too.

Fagan was very close to winning last year's grand final against an excellent Pies team. He wins this year from nowhere. He must be doing something very right! Most coaches agree, he has won the coach of the year twice now. He dragged Brisbane out of a very dark era and has them winning finals and premierships again. This win cements him as one of the great coaches and shows there isn't just one way to be a winning coach in the AFL.

P Diddy enters the room, with baby oil…

 

[Cmarsh]

Well and truly in contention the next couple of years as well given their ins.

And will outgrow the gabba too.

 

[10571z]

What a fantastic story. Fagan is such a great guy and proved any doubter wrong

 

[Freomaniac]

Plenty of media folk had Lions as flag favourites (before last night).

Currently in 3rd so that says "contender" but when it matters they just cant cut it. Why is this?

2020 Prelim Final - GABBA - 40 point loss to Cats
2021 - Qualifying Final - AO - 33 point loss to Demons
2021 - Semi Final - GABBA - 1 point loss to Dogs
2022 Rd 15 - Round - MCG - 64 point loss to Demons

Last night could have been 100 point loss (16.21 to 7.11)

You poor and unlucky soul.....
