AFL grand final recap: Brisbane Lions claim back-to-back premierships in emphatic fashion
Brisbane has sealed their place in history with back-to-back premierships in a dominating second-half against Geelong.

And when it broke, it was a Lions flood.
Recap all the action from the MCG below!
Key Events
Snoop promises a ‘special show’
The D O GG is in the house ahead of his pre-game show.
He’s done the Olympics and the SuperBowl so there are no doubts over his ability to deliver on the big stage.
What his set list will be remains a mystery but he has plenty of hits to choose from.
He sat down with Seven’s Matthew Richardson, saying he watches AFL highlights to understand footy lingo, including what a ‘speccy’ is.
The rapper says he has a special relationship with Australia and promises a special show.
The Neale call
As expected, Lachie Neale will be the sub after his unlikely return from a calf injury.
Bruce Reville comes into the starting 22 to replace Jarrod Berry with Levi Ashcroft expected to play more midfield minutes to compensate.
