THEY will forever be known as The Unstoppables.

Just when you think the Brisbane Lions are over, just when you think they are done, just when you think this is it, they always have one more punch to throw.

GRAND FINAL Full match coverage and stats

And on Saturday, they produced the most remarkable, unbelievable premiership-winning performance the game has ever seen. It will live long in the memory of every footy fan as the most incredible comeback on the biggest stage.

Brisbane is premier once more after an incredible comeback in Saturday's Grand Final that has devastated Fremantle as it was on the verge of its first-ever flag.

The Lions saluted by seven points in dramatic circumstances after kicking the last four goals of the game to clinch the 14.12 (96) to 12.17 (89) win at the MCG.

In scenes that will now live in footy folklore, the Dockers looked set to triumph for their first premiership after jumping to a 17-point lead with under five minutes to play in the last quarter.

It led to the Dockers' pressing their 'Wharfie Time' button to ignite the crowd after Patrick Voss' third goal, but Chris Fagan's men did not back down, with goals to Charlie Cameron, Zac Bailey and two goals to Logan Morris in the final minute seeing the Lions steal the win from Freo's grasp.

Morris had been quiet throughout the day but his contested mark and cool set shot to put the Lions ahead, and then his sealing snap in the dying seconds sees him become a three-time premiership player in his third season.

After Kylie Minogue's brilliant pre-game show, perhaps it was fitting the man with 'On A Night Like This' as his goal song delivered the biggest hit.

Fremantle's Shai Bolton was awarded the Norm Smith Medal for best on ground, the first medal winner from a losing side since Chris Judd in 2005 and the fifth ever.

Drought-breaking history was about to beckon for the Dockers.

But then things changed in the most shattering means for Fremantle and most brilliant fashion for Brisbane, with the club equalling its 2001-2003 three-peat.

Will Ashcroft was again superb with 31 disposals, and Josh Dunkley, who won his fourth flag, had 21 disposals and 12 tackles in a phenomenal effort.

It was tight throughout the whole contest, with Fremantle's 17-point lead after Voss' goal the largest of the day.

One point split the teams after a tense but attacking first term. Cameron's left foot rove got Brisbane out of the blocks, and quickly had the Lions' fans singing in the aisles, but it went largely goal for goal after that as Fremantle quickly found the tempo.

The Dockers were buoyed by a strong term by forward pair Josh Treacy, who kicked their first goal, and Voss, who was playing a defensive job on Lions co-captain Harris Andrews, while Isaiah Dudley's running goal was reward for his long effort.

Kai Lohmann has proven himself as a big-game finals performer before and slotted a classy finish after a clever handball from teammate Morris, before Murphy Reid, who was best afield in the first quarter with nine disposals, kicked a snap out of a pack to draw the Dockers to within a point at quarter-time.

Any fears Fremantle would be overawed by the occasion were quickly dispelled. In the cold and slippery conditions, the Dockers were winning the midfield and stoppages battle and feeding a forward line growing in confidence. Caleb Serong, in particular, was a dominant force around the ball with eight clearances in the half.

Voss kicked two goals for the second term as Fremantle got out to a seven-point break, before Sam Draper's long bomb tied things up again.

If finals are a game of inches, this was a game of centimetres and there were tight moments everywhere: Michael Frederick's tackle on Bailey to save a certain goal, Conor McKenna's toe poke through jumbled legs, Dunkley's smothers and the umpires being hotter on the 15-metre marking distances than we have seen in some time.

With scores level at half-time in the Grand Final for the second successive year, Fremantle's status as the second-half specialists was going to determine this year's flag. The Dockers' start to the third quarter was absorbing; Treacy marked early but missed, Amiss landed his goal from close range and Reid continued to create around the ball.

The Dockers dominated the term but struggled to get ascendancy, until Dudley provided another spark; he tapped the ball to himself, it bounced back up, he ducked under a tackle and finished his shot to take a 15-point lead.

But as everything looked set to turn purple, Brisbane did what Brisbane does; three goals in six minutes to Lohmann, Oscar Allen and Cameron and they had regained the lead.

Fremantle produced yet another centre clearance and this time Young, on his non-preferred right foot, banged home a goal to restore the Dockers' advantage.

Then, with 30 seconds to go in the term, Young snapped a goal from the Dom Sheed pocket of the MCG, with Fremantle recovering from the loss of skipper Alex Pearce midway through the quarter to hold a 10-point lead into the last change.

But nobody was prepared for what was left to come in the final quarter.

The Unstoppables. Never count them out.
