The Brisbane Lions have triumphed in the 2024 AFL Grand Final, defeating the Sydney Swans by 60 points at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Saturday. This victory marks the Lions' first premiership in 21 years, ending a long drought since their last win in 2003. The final score was 120-60, with Brisbane dominating the game and securing their fourth AFL premiership. The win also serves as redemption for the Lions, who suffered a defeat in last year's grand final. The match was notable for being the first men's AFL grand final in 18 years without a Victorian team. South Melbourne and Fitzroy were represented in spirit during the game, and the premiership trophy is now back in Brisbane's hands.
