Pies supporter here and gotta say Fagan is all class. Such a humble and knowledgeable coach. All the best for this Saturday 👍🏻

[@samgregg7235]

Fagan who called out pies supporters as fake fans and only show up when we are winning? Dudes a clown 😂

[@alexjones9038]

@@samgregg7235 now you are just making up nonsense, fages is a legend lmao, probably one of the top 3 coaches in the league

[@MRHenHen]

The embrace & respect from Fly & Fagan is amazing

[@HorizonOfHope]

Fingers crossed that this year’s game is as good. An all-time excellent game - not just GF, but game. Had everything.

[@MatthiaGryffine]

If only they went back to what they did during the pandemic and play the Grand Final at night if for no other reason than for those of us who live in NA can watch without pulling an all nighter

[@julesbalb3933]

Wow this was such a great watch. It's clear both coaches are class acts. Both were probably internally nervous as hell but tried to keep it fun for the players to relax their nerves. Real classy. Hope Fagan gets his fairy tale ending this Saturday. Sydney are great, but Fagan deserves it.

[@stevens8744]

Collingwood supporter here that was magic. Ill be supporting the Lions this weekend against Sydney.

Yes I Have The Blu-Ray Version Of The 2023 AFL Grand Final For Christmas Last Year.

[@The-ducks-l2b]

The best gift you will get from Christmas. ❤

[@Sean-0-JH]

I love the contrast in the two teams at the start 😂. Very serious in the Brisbane rooms but the Pies are going bonkers.

[@rerooar]

Pies fan here.... Go Lions, no flag for Longmire... PLEASE!!!!

[@adandap]

Well done. A nice little slice of life doco.

[@MrNatebain]

Waited a whole year to release this, just to keep the Collingwood flavour in the AFL...

[@rerooar]

Yeah why else would they release a video about the GF last year right before the GF this year which will feature a team that might get redemption for their loss last year.... must be about Collingwood 🤦🤦‍♂🤦‍♀🤦‍♂🤦🤦‍♂... you complete Muppet.

[@Macedonian_91]

Without Collingwood there is no afl. That's why

[@HedHuntr]

I actually quite like Collingwood as a team, they did a terrific job last year. I really hope we can get the job done this year though, it stung to be so close yet so far last September. Carn the Lions.

[@lucasmillar8195]

Pies fan and rooting for ya mate, up the lions this weekend

[@julesbalb3933]

17:44 onwards. Wow. How humble in defeat Fagan is. How good.

lots of emotions, also brisbane for the flag

Would love to see the 2022 inside the grand final doco

[@SkandiaAUS]

How class is Fagan.

[@ZachPlayss]

We’ve been so close for so long is 2024 year of the lions?

[@OyitiOjiang-ze7kh]

Go Brisbane lions

[@1362pc]

Lions will be the Melb crowd favourites in 24

[@MatthiaGryffine]

Can the Grand Final go back what they did during the pandemic and have it contested at night? As someone who lives in Canada but has loved Aussie Rules for decades, it was nice to not have to pull an all-nighter to watch the Grand Final.

[@charliemavros10]

Yeah no worries, the AFL will change the usual traditional time slot to suit your sleep needs 😂😂😂

[@rerooar]

It's a very hated idea in Australia to have a night GF because of all the tradition that goes with it. But as a life long Aussie Rules fanatic now living in Denmark I get it, but it won't ever happen again hopefully, the AFL want it because of money, no fans want it.

[@OyitiOjiang-ze7kh]

Go Brisbane Lions

[@jaassonnha]

Could’ve at least colour graded some of these shots..

[@RGDGAME]

Up the pies but this Saturday I really hope lions win this year 🖤🤍

[@ryanmcdonnell665]

Any danger of bringing this out a week after the game and not a year later. Absolutely ridiculous

[@dragonoftheeast695]

You gotta edit out all the swearing and unsavoury behaviour. Make it more suitable for families. Must take time

[@wendyt234]

Wonder why they didn’t include the botched tripping advantage that got paid to gift Collingwood the game 🤔

[@FreddyJong-co6cb]

Collingwood premiership twilight or night grand final 2025😂😂❤❤😂😂❤😂😂😂❤😂😂❤❤😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@dragonoftheeast695]

Twilight games are awesome. But I like tradition. Keep the granny at 230. Game finishes early enough for kids to enjoy the evening with the family 👍

[@thebombersbros]

Sydney for the flag 👇

[@hanajarvis5061]

nah, brissy all the way

[@jonm2522]

Carlton supporter here, going for the lions all the way, can't stand Sydney.

[@alexjones9038]

although i respect the collingwood team and especially Craig McRae (former brisbane legend) , ill never respect the treatment of Lachie Neale from the collingwood fans earlier in the week after the brownlow

I swear to god if this year’s grand finale is crap I will be going bananas 😮😮😮

Weird to see the pies in black and white. Wore green all day to get over the line

That's hilarious, pretending you didn't know enough about football to know the pies wear B&W, just to make your generic joke, then call someone else a casual. Hahahahaha you lot are sure entertainment value if not original or witty.

[@joeezra5460]

As a pies fan I’m preying for Brisbane would hate to see them lose 2 straight I still remember how that felt! As for Carlton they can enjoy Crippa’s 45 vote scam they won’t see a flag for at least a decade.
