BRISBANE claimed a stunning comeback win to complete a three-peat and a repeat Grand Final hero stood up again.

Oscar Allen - 6
Got involved soon after he came on early in the first quarter with a clever tap to himself and finish on the run from close range. Kicked another crucial goal in the third quarter to keep the Lions alive and generally did his job. 

Harris Andrews - 7
Some powerful spoiling in the first quarter that often got his team on the front foot, but opponent Patrick Voss bit back hard in the second term with two goals. Andrews helped stave off an avalanche of inside 50s in the second half, often not only stopping his man, but helping out aerially when teammates were beaten. A three-time premiership skipper. 

GRAND FINAL Full match coverage and stats

Levi Ashcroft - 7
At 19 was the youngest player on the ground, but was one of the most composed in the furnace. Did his job on the wing with a touch of class, finishing with 19 disposals (at almost 90 per cent efficiency) and seven marks to make it two flags in his first two seasons. 

Will Ashcroft - 8
He might not have won a third Norm Smith, but enhanced his incredible reputation with another superb performance. Was solid through the first three quarters and then when Brisbane needed a lift, Ashcroft shone. Battling to win centre clearances all day, he went bang-bang-bang late in the match to propel his team to victory. Thirty-one touches and three goals assists. What a player. 

Zac Bailey - 6
Worked tirelessly without making a huge impact through the first three quarters, but when the game was up for grabs Bailey had his moment. His incredible snap from congestion from 40m with less than three minutes breathed life into the Lions. Finished with 20 touches that included seven score involvements. 

Jarrod Berry - 7
Mr Reliable patrolling the wing was again crucial when his team needed him. Berry regularly helped his defenders when pinned at their own end of the ground, recording six intercepts from his 17 touches. After missing out on last year’s premiership with a dislocated shoulder, Berry did everything he could to ensure a second flag.

Charlie Cameron - 8
One of the great finals players this century continued to elevate his status. Cameron was the most dangerous forward on the ground in the first half, kicking the opening goal of the game and creating havoc whenever he went near the ball. Buried a snap just seconds after 'Wharfie Time' was blasted to silence the Fremantle supporters and finished with three goals from 16 touches. 

Sam Draper - 5
Had his hands full with the high-flying Luke Jackson at centre ball-ups, but once stoppages moved around the ground held his own. Sunk a 55m bomb in the second quarter that was a genuine team lifter. His move from Essendon to Brisbane paid off in year one. 

Josh Dunkley - 8
One of his team’s best players. Accounted for Shai Bolton at plenty of stoppages, keeping him to just two clearances, and scraped and scrapped and clawed for everything. His 21 disposals told a tiny part of his story, with 12 tackles and eight intercepts showing his desperation around the ground. 

Jaspa Fletcher - 7
Much like Berry and Levi Ashcroft, was clean on the flanks and a great aid in the back half of the ground. Fletcher started his year slowly but built as it wore on, concluding with a superb performance under pressure. Showed composure and used the ball wisely when confronted with tricky situations. 

Darcy Fort - 5
Much like Draper, had his hands full with Jackson. Not used at centre ball-ups as regularly, but was powerful around the ground and was able to drop back into the hole in front of Freo’s forwards on multiple occasions. A third premiership in just 83 career games – the fifth fewest to reach the milestone this century. 

Ty Gallop - 8
Had the difficult task of manning Josh Treacy and after being beaten on the lead in the opening minutes, settled down well. Won some crucial intercept marks in the final quarter and alongside Andrews and the backline, kept the Lions afloat when they were under the most extreme pressure. A job well done by the Academy graduate.

Darcy Gardiner - 6
Following a shaky finals series, Gardiner was trusted with the job on Jye Amiss. Won a number of one-on-ones early on, and although the Docker kicked two goals, scrapped and fought to halve contests, including a memorable smother with a goalbound shot. 

Eric Hipwood - 5
Not the best performance of his season, but continued to battle hard in tricky conditions for tall forwards. Hipwood missed two set shots in the second term that could have changed his day, although both were difficult – one, a right foot around-the-corner shot and the other a long range attempt from outside 50. A second premiership after missing out on last year’s with a ruptured ACL. 

Ryan Lester - 7
This player just never misses. Lester had assignments on a variety of opponents, including Murphy Reid, Michael Frederick and Sam Switkowski. His lunging effort to force Josh Treacy’s shot from the goalsquare wide deep in the fourth quarter will be an iconic image for Lions fans. 

Kai Lohmann - 8
After kicking five goals in the preliminary final last week, Lohmann was again magnificent in the pressure cooker of a big game. He looked dangerous any time he went near the ball, having a nice involvement in Allen’s early goal, kicking his own and then showed good vision to set up Levi Ashcroft in the second term. Throw in 10 tackles with his two goals and two assists from 14 touches and you have the complete small forward’s game. 

Hugh McCluggage - 6
A quieter day for last week’s match-winner, McCluggage split time between the wing and midfield, finishing with 18 touches that included four clearances. His surge kick to Logan Morris for the go-ahead goal deep in the final term was his highlight. Is now a co-captain of a premiership team. 

Conor McKenna - 6
Given the job on quelling the influence of two-time All-Australian Jordan Clark, McKenna was terrific. Kicked his now-usual stunner from a tight angle in the second quarter and kept Clark to just 14 touches. Has been integral in Brisbane’s push to the premiership. 

Logan Morris - 5
There’s a saying that it might not be your day, but it might be your moment, and no-one has ever encapsulated that more than Morris. After barely touching the ball in the first three quarters, the young star kicked the opener to the fourth and then had the game’s defining moment with 64 seconds remaining when he took a contested mark and then kicked the clutch go-ahead goal from 40m. Throw in another one close to the siren and he finished with three for the day. 

Lachie Neale - 6
In what is likely his last game for the Lions, Neale was ceremoniously booed every time he got the ball. That meant we heard that raucous sound 20 times. Although not his biggest outing, Neale was busy, with one memorable handball in traffic in the third quarter leading to a Lions goal. Three flags and two Brownlows in his eight seasons at the Lions ensure he will forever be a club legend. 

Cam Rayner - 6
Heavily involved early, Rayner was clean in the wet conditions. Powerful and difficult to tackle, eight of his 18 touches ended in scores for Brisbane in an excellent four-quarter effort.

Darcy Wilmot - 6
Following a difficult game last week, Wilmot was assigned Isaiah Dudley for much of the game. While Dudley had his moments, it didn’t deter Wilmot from bringing his own strengths, regularly finding space to be an outlet option from defence. The high-energy half-back racked up 20 touches, 19 of them kicks, to clinch his third premiership. 

Dayne Zorko - 8
The Lions veteran was magnificent in victory. Zorko was clean at ground level and like usual, was prepared to take the difficult kicks into the corridor to help his team move the ball. His 28 disposals trailed only Will Ashcroft for the Lions. At 37, he adds a third flag to his five best and fairests and two All-Australian blazers.
