Brisbane cementing their legacy as one of the giants of the AFL era with another title. Here's some nerdy stats for you. Taking into account the GCS and GWS team expansions, with Brisbane winning 4 of the last 24 titles in the league (since the turn of the century), they have achieved 2.69 times the titles that they should have won if all the teams in the league were equally successful. During this period, the most successful teams in the league are Brisbane, Geelong and Hawthorn.

[@Toast2005]

Love these kind of things. Some people find them stupid but I imagine it's because they themselves lack the intelligence to appreaciate them. Brisbane have been one of the best teams in this AFL era in terms of winning premierships. It would also be interesting to see what the average ladder position since the turn of the century and since 2012

[@tristanedwards7302]

@@Toast2005 I thought it was worth mentioning because it's such a Victorian-centric sport still, and I even remember in the early 2000s after the Lions dominance was a few years gone, people seemed to just dismiss Brisbane altogether and acted like they are an 'also ran' club, rather than one of the most successful teams. This premiership just solidifies that they aren't a one time success or statistical anomaly. Winning titles is in the fabric of the club now.

[@nickleoni7241]

​@tristanedwards7302 another stat is the amount of wins in total a team has had in a season following a GF Loss. I'm sure it was 13 or 14.

@@crowkid5553feel sorry for Swans fans, it’s becoming a bit of a joke now. Getting humiliated so many times in Grand Finals🥶

[@russianbotstein1422]

As a crows fan 2017 still hurts. Then again, didnt GWS get smashed in a grand final even worse the following year?

[@MichaelJames1989]

More like 2022

[@shanebrady6986]

even Richmond beat Sydney at the MCG this year and they finished on bottom…

That 2nd Quarter, a game within a game!!!

[@adrianbraithwaite9488]

Been following them since the Bears. Easily their finest win.

So good seeing the Lions get up Well done👏👏👏👏👏

Ah Chee in the third, fkn footy at its best!!!❤

[@samclooney8198]

What a comedy of a game 😂😂😂

[@jogon9649]

Ive never seen a better performance by a team, than Brisbane lions in that second quarter. On paper looking back, Brisbane had the superior forward line, back line and broke even in the centre.

melbourne in the 2nd half of the 2021 grand final, literally the greatest half from a team in history

Q1 is still exciting to watch, but after Q2, it's over. Congrats Lions!

[@GaryLorenz-t7c]

Another thing about the (2024 Twenty-Twenty Four) AFL Grand Final with both Sydney Swans & Brisbane Lions as both city rivals which reminds me both very same city rivals between Sydney & Brisbane are from our (2000) NRL Grand Final which was (24) years ago which was between Sydney Roosters & Brisbane Broncos in Sydney and the result that our Queenslander Team of Brisbane (Brissie) Broncos who had won against the New South Walsh Team of Sydney Roosters (Chooks) and the final score/s were Brisbane Broncos (14) - Sydney Roosters (6) and Darryn Lockyer the (Brisbane Broncos) Fullback who got the Clive Churchill Medal Award of course.

[@rerooar]

Yeah what a season, legendary, I'm stoked for them. Pies fan.

[@Flamingbro69]

As a Swans supporter, congrats to the Lions for winning the flag. They played almost perfect and I hope you enjoy this year’s premiership as much as you can. But in regard to how we played, it was an absolute disgrace. We bottled it yet again and it’s just frustrating to see this after the amazing season that we had. Especially with seeing our Midfield and Forward line get exposed. We really deserve better after the beltings that we’ve endured in three of our past four grand final losses. Even with how I’m gutted and angry I am, I’m still proud of this season, but I really hope that the Swans never play like this in a Grand Final ever again. Here’s hoping that better days are ahead and I look forward to the day where we break our premiership drought with all of the composure in the world to do it. When we touch the trophy second, then I’ll certainly know that’ll be our day. Here’s hoping that 2025 will be our year ❤️🤍

Disgraceful team full of flogs!! Never forget dane rampe 0-4 in grand finals!!

Never forget I Heeney giving up 2 quarters in

[@chriscoyne4827]

Wasn't you that told swans are a different team then 2022 and they will win it easy 😂😂😂😂

[@comealongcomealong4480]

@Flamingbro69 Yesterday just serves to show that ALL the sweat, intensive training and games of the Home and Away season, almost fade away to a ticking clock on GF Day. There's a surreal element to the game time. /Anyway, I thought your post here showed a lot of grace - despite your raw disappointment and heartache.

​@@messi4brownlowbit harsh on heeney they had 22 other clowns heeney played crack shin they had to play him Who else 😅😅😅

[@jacobboaden2213]

It’s kinda sad to think that a 60 point margin is a kind result to the swans. The 2nd quarter the lions missed a few pretty easy set shots, the swans only goal came from a BS 50 against Zorko, and then some garbage time goals when no 1 cared anymore. Could’ve been a lot worse

[@benfrancis5012]

Wow sydney really had the lions there for 10 minutes

[@rhysh2639]

I'm glad that Brisbane beat Geelong, because if they didn't, it would've been another Geelong premiership. Let's be honest here, ANY team would've beaten the Swans yesterday!
