The game wasn’t just about the Lions; it highlighted the struggles of St Kilda, who found themselves outmatched and outplayed across the field. Their hopes of making a significant impact in the finals have taken a major hit, and they will need to regroup quickly to salvage their season. With crucial games ahead, they must regain their form and confidence if they wish to stay competitive this finals series.

As the dust settles on the Lions' impressive victory, fans and pundits alike are left pondering what this performance means for the upcoming finals. Will Brisbane maintain this momentum, or will they fizzle out when it truly matters? One thing is for sure: Brisbane’s intensity is terrifying for any opponent, and they have become the team to beat.

Did you know that the Brisbane Lions have won three premierships in their history, with their most recent victory coming in 2003? That's nearly two decades ago!
