Brisbane v Carlton: Lions Roar Into Grand Final, Blues' Dream Ends
Unthinkable Comeback Ends in Heartbreak for Carlton
Lions Prevail in Thrilling Preliminary Final
In a pulsating Preliminary Final, the Brisbane Lions have booked their spot in the AFL Grand Final for the first time in 19 years, overcoming a valiant Carlton outfit by 16 points.
The Blues looked unstoppable in the early stages, storming to a 46-point lead in the third quarter. However, the Lions displayed remarkable resilience, chipping away at the margin behind the heroics of Cam Rayner and Lachie Neale.
As the final siren sounded, Brisbane emerged victorious with a score of 12.14 (86) to 10.12 (72). Carlton's valiant comeback attempt ultimately fell short, leaving the Blues heartbroken but proud of their season's accomplishments.
The Lions will now face the winner of Friday night's Preliminary Final between Geelong and Collingwood in the Grand Final on September 30.
