Grand Final Stories
🧨 1. The 2010 Draw & Replay: Collingwood vs St Kilda
One of the most dramatic finishes in AFL history—the 2010 Grand Final ended in a 68–68 draw, forcing a replay the following week. The tension was electric, and the emotional toll on players and fans was immense. Collingwood came back stronger in the replay, winning by 56 points.
“It was like living the same nightmare twice,” one St Kilda fan recalled. A perfect story to highlight the unpredictability of footy—and the value of reliable group transport!
🦁 2. Brisbane’s Triple Crown (2001–2003)
The Brisbane Lions’ three-peat is the stuff of legend. Their 2003 win over Collingwood cemented their dynasty, showcasing grit, unity, and raw talent. It’s a great example of how underdog teams can dominate with the right chemistry.
🐶 3. The Bulldogs’ Fairytale (2016)
Coming from 7th on the ladder, the Western Bulldogs defied all odds to win their first premiership in 62 years. Their finals run was pure magic, and their Grand Final win over the Swans was emotional and unforgettable.
🧤 4. The Toepoke That Changed Everything (2009)
In the 2009 Grand Final, Geelong’s Matthew Scarlett delivered a now-iconic toepoke to Gary Ablett Jr., setting up a match-winning goal. Geelong edged out St Kilda in a nail-biter, and that moment became folklore.
🧠 5. The 1989 Bloodbath: Hawthorn vs Geelong
Often called the most brutal Grand Final ever, this clash saw players push through injuries that would sideline most today. Hawthorn’s Dermott Brereton famously played on after broken ribs and internal bleeding. It’s a tale of toughness and tenacity that still gives fans goosebumps.
