what a game! not winning at the G since 2014 and now knocking out the reigning premiers in a big final! dosent get much better than that

Those two Brisbane goals to beat the sirens at the end of the second and third quarters were the key moments of the game. The Lions were so gritty and it really translated deeper into the second half.

Bet this felt like a grand final for the Lions after their record at the capital G and their previous run ins against the Ds, they really knuckled down last night, great to see. Pressure got to Melbourne big time.

To be honest after that performance even if we lose to geelong (as much as I will be disappointed) I will be more than happy that we got this far. We’ve definitely got the toughest run out of any team in this finals series. I am so proud. Go lions!!! 🦁🏆

They went absolutely nuts in the second halve their pressure from all over the ground was just amazing great job lions good luck in a prelim.

The Charlie Cameron set shot on his opposite foot @5:54 is absolutely clinical; terrific skill execution under pressure.

This has been without a doubt the best finals series ever

The entire Jake Lever moment sums up Melbourne's year. Too cute and too arrogant. That was shocking. Their 2nd half blues are unbelievable. It's happened so many times - coughing up big leads, terrible poor movement, inaccurate goal kicking, poor defence, selfish players going for low probability plays, hospital passes, players thinking they can take on a tackle and then getting pinged. Brisbane's pressure in the second half was outstanding.

Had to rewatch this today before round 18, 2023….Lions!!! Lions!!! Lions!!! 🦁

This is a great result on every level; love this sport

I’m an American living in New York State. My grandmother was Australian. I always like to pop in to see what’s happening in the AFL from time to time. Super fun sport to watch.

The dees didn’t look like they were the team this year. Sluggish on Defence and consistently turning it over in the foward half with silly mistakes. I am very impressed with Brisbane who will now play Geelong in a big preliminary final.

Melbourne gone from both the AFL and the NRL - I'm in heaven.

At the middle of the season, I said that Melbourne will easily win the flag. Well now they’re gone in straight sets. I am never underestimating Brisbane or overestimating Melbourne again

6:55 Levers tantrum 🤣

Darcy Wilmot must be having the time of his life!

Lever had the biggest brain fade of the season. 😂

I was there and we were so loud and proud. What a great game!

Its crazy to think that Queen Elizabeth went to the Fitzroy vs Richmond game and Fitzroy won and just after her passing Fitzroy (Brisbane) beat Melbourne at the same ground 😦

James Brayshaw isn't in my top five football commentators, but hearing him call the McCluggage goal with the crowd roaring in the background still gets me pumped days later.

As a Melbourne Supporter: *This game shook me to the core*

what a win from Brisbane, i actually tipped them.They were superb. What was Jake lever thinking when he was dancing in circles after got caught holding the ball.Looked Funny.

I watched this live with the sound off and the radio commentary from the ABC. Got to half time with BT and JB who both sound like they are watching from the pub after a long lunch, and had to stop.

Melbourne are not going to be able to sleep tonight. No team likes finishing the season top 4 and losing 2 straight matches to get knocked out. Having said that, it is always nice seeing the #5-8 teams beating the top 4 as it does not happen every year.

Finally nailed the Demons..Awesome Game..

Prelim here we come!

Dees boi here What a win for Brisbane unlucky for Melbourne, Dees were not robbed

Brisbane could seriously win the Premiership if they continue this form.

Cameron is a beast

What a moment for the lions to break their MCG hoodoo and beat the reigning premiers in the demons to knock them out in straight sets.

THAT’S IT! TIME FOR ME TO EXPLODE!!! GAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

Probably the best game of footy I've watched in my life

The Queen gave Brisbane her blessing .' Queensland team' after all....

Well done to Brisbane. They were atrocious first half, had big names out, and came out second half a different team with huge contest and defensive pressure. Melbourne couldn't handle it. Don't forget Lions were thrashed by Melbourne twice during the year - by 64 and 58 points. The Lions stood up. A lot of players can be named, but hard not to recognize Neale, Hipwood, Berry (minus the eye grab).

year late but the kick from hipwood at 5:44 was really impressive and really hard to pull off. unfortnuate he couldnt have this impact this year

I’ve watched this 7 times…

Top 2 side out in week 2. What a choke!

WHAT A GAME!

ANGRRYYYYYY

Dees stunk it up in this one. They looked shakey as hell! That last play from Lever being pinged for holding the ball about sums it up.

2 more games of Footy at MCG and 2 more WINS boys🔥🔥🦁🦁

Great game from Kysiah Pickett

So happy for lions

Crazy finals series atm

What! A Game!

No other interstate team can make the 'G that loud!

2 down 2 to go. This is our year! I hope.

Gotta love Brisbane

What A Game! Well done Lions

great vid

THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MANKIND!!!

Hard to believe that Melbourne started 10-0 to lose back back finals

Very good 👏🏽

The fact Patracca played with a broken leg is amazing🤯

Love an underdog getting up. Next week will be tough for the Lions though trying to shut down Cameron, Hawkins, Stengle, Rohan, Close etc.

I don’t get why you show the lead up to the goal, but not the actual goal in a highlight video…. Who is making these

Naturally the Queen is a fan of the Queensland team. Her spirit was watching down and guiding them home.

What was lever thinking tho😂

What a win Lions! The demons fans need to stop booing Zorko. He apologised to Harrison Petty and acknowledged what he did was wrong. Petty wasn't clean either, as he started the fire with Zorko.

Wonder how many people lost money betting on Melbourne

I was going for Melbourne in this game but the performance by Brisbane was phenomenal. I hope the lions can now win the premiership as much there the team no one expects to do so

Melbourne had lost too many games for their own good in the H&A season. Their inconsistency combined with their undeserving finish of 2nd put them in a bad position. I take my hat off to the Lions here as they have done what everyone thought they couldn't!

I told you that we will get them when it matters most…

Lions with Back to Back classic matches. Wow, I just hope this momentum continues instead of burning them out.

Said it all season, Brisbane Lions best team in the league. Simple, 4 players out against their healthy 22 👑🦁

Al Michaels was shouting "Do You believe in Miracles?"

every time brisbane pushed the defender in the back to take the mark

Congratulations to the Lions. What a great game that was. They held their nerve under huge pressure. There may very well be a monumental upset next week against the Cats. If the dogs could get to a granny in 2016 and 21. Any team in the 8 riding on form and momentum can.

if brisbane can win 2 in a row in finals I think freo could

Better not let the lynching of Berry by Lyons last night impact the Berry decision. If you think that face rub was worse than Harmes you are a total joke.

The dees were on top for most of the first half but full credit to the lions, that was an incredible fightback in the second half and were the better side when it mattered most.

Great work brisbane

Now the Lions won at the G, finally, they're now bigger premiership favourites

Thank you Brisbane for defeating both Melbourne and Richmond (the two teams that SUCK). Good luck in the prelim!!

BIGGEST WIN EVER

Let's go lions we won but will have to counter our most difficult challenge yet the Geelong cats

Chris Flagan

I put my money on the Lions. Safe to say it was a worthwhile investment.

I reckon either syndey or cats will win, but I'm hoping lions will, great performance and comeback last night

Fitzroy fans have awoken from an 18 year nap

Straight sets feels good now doesn't it Melbourne? Can't wait to beat geelong next week

The queen supported qld up above!

And then there were five... teams remaining. I didn't watch most of the game unforfunately. Brisbane got sick of losing heavily to Melbourne and finally took a stand against the Demons. The Lions took down a reigning premier on their own turf. Last week on SEN, Anthony Hudson said that "Melbourne's back-to-back campaign is now backs to the wall" and now, it's back to the drawing board for the Demons. Brisbane can enjoy staying in Melbourne with a Preliminary Final rematch with Geelong and who knows? A Grand Final berth for the first time in eighteen years awaits the Lions should they emerge victorious. Otherwise Geelong will play in the Grand Final at the MCG for the first time since 2011. The Grand Final was at the Wooloongabba in 2020. Melbourne fans will be wondering where it all went wrong this Finals Series at they're forced to watch on. Fun facts: This is the seventh time in nine seasons that at least one top four team crashed out in straight sets and the 2022 Melbourne (2nd) are the eighth team in nine years to go from Qualifying Finalist to straight-sets exit. They are also the first team since the 2016 Hawthorn (3rd) to crash out of the Finals in straight sets as a reigning premier and the first to lose BOTH home Finals games (regardless of whether they were the away team or not) to suffer a straight-sets exit since the 2018 Hawthorn (4th).

From reigning premier to out in straight sets

Noticed in the 3rd quarter and at 3 quarter time dees looked very worried. Their body language was telling.

BYE MELBOURNEE STRAIGHT SETSSSSSSSS

Nice

Melbourne is the 16th team in V/AFL history to break a premiership drought of 20 years or more, and none of the previous 15 managed to go back-to-back. They were never going back-to-back.

Can someone explain what happen right at the end there and why was it a free kick

Ozzy man over in Perth will be celebrating

The only benefit from this loss is that Disney can stop bandwagoning us

Geelong are through to the grand final

Melbourne to me are as disappointing as you can get because they played this year like they were satisfied with last year's premiership. One premiership in 60 years isn't something to hang your hat on. Two finals losses should be seen as a failed year.

Go the blues!

Finally broke their hoodoo

I thought the demons were gonna smash zorko and the lions.... but... Na na na naaa na na na naaaaaaa haaay haayy goodbye.... brilliant win by the lions...

What a comeback to the Lions I thought Melbourne were about to comeback in 2 minutes I respect Brisbane I was About to go with Melbourne to win it for the Queen Elizabeth but Brisbane won great game and Rest In Peace Queen Elizabeth 1926-2022

I got to say the umpiring was off, not paying free kicks, holding the balls, high contact, it was ridiculous but anyways gg to the lions they played well

Jake lever moment

Very moving moment silence before the start of the game.
