Congratulations Brisbane Lions, on three premierships in a row (again).

Fremantle outplayed the Lions most of the day, and were 17pts in front with 4 mins 18 sec left on the clock. They looked home. Brisbane needed 3x straight goals to win.

What happened next was history. 4 goals in 4 minutes leaving fans of both side shellshocked.

As a Lions fan, I was thrilled. Never thought I'd ever see another Lions three-peat in my lifetime, not after the incredible team of the early 2000's. Lots of Lions gurnseys out by the river this morning.

Felt shattered for Freo though. If Lions were to lose, I'd have been happy it was to Freo. But not to be. Never count out champions, but their fans were hearbroken, in one of the cruelest defeats I've ever seen. Hoping they regroup and come back next year again, all the more determined and battle hardened.

Was a game for the ages. Proud of Brisbane, what a city and what a team.

    It was one hell of a game, and I don't even particularly like AFL (mostly because I don't understand it).

    Speaking of football wins - Newcastle over Penrith was delicious. Not even our team, but I'd definitely rather they make the final than Penrith.
