AFL grand final recap: Brisbane Lions claim back-to-back premierships in emphatic fashion

It was a tight tussle for two and a half quarters but it’s clear to see in the timeline when Brisbane found their premiership gear.

Jeremy Cameron played on in the second half but he was down to one arm and had it slung in the rooms post game.

The player chosen by Brisbane coach Chris Fagan to put a leash on Geelong talisman Patrick Dangerfield, Brandon Starcevich repaid the faith with interest and a bit of GST slapped on as well.

The Lions fans are loving a second chance to bask in glory!

The Lions’ celebrations are in full swing after they were presented the premiership cup.

Fair to say Oscar McInerny is a club favourite! Catch a look at this!

Lachie Neale has now done it all in footy but he admits he has never felt more nervous than before today’s grand final.

Luke Hodge awards the Norm Smith to Will Ashcroft for the second time in a row!

He becomes the fifth player with multiple Norms.

Ever the classy man Patrick Dangerfield has taken the stage after a tough loss.

He thanked everyone as usual and told his group to “be proud and hold our heads high”

Dangerfield said they’d celebrate their achievements but were beaten by a “better” team.

The margin allowed the Lions to soak in the result and atmosphere long before it was official but the final siren is always special.
