AFL 2024: Brisbane Lions` Grand Final Victory and Key Season Highlights

:The 2024 AFL season has been marked by several significant events, with one of the most notable being the Brisbane Lions' Grand Final victory. The Lions, who had been close to winning the premiership for several years, finally achieved their goal by defeating the Sydney Swans in the Grand Final. This win was particularly impressive as Brisbane came back from a combined 69 points down in the semi and preliminary finals to secure the title, making them the second team this century to win a flag from outside the top four[2].

Another highlight of the season was the outstanding performance of Carlton's Patrick Cripps, who won the Brownlow Medal with a record 45 votes. This achievement was a standout in a season where individual performances were closely watched, and Cripps' dominance was clear from the start[2].

The season also saw its share of controversies, including the GWS players being sanctioned over a `Wacky Wednesday` event, and dramatic moments such as Adam Simpson's exit as West Coast coach, which drew significant attention[2].

In terms of player news, there were several notable incidents, including an AFL Masters game where former Magpie Jason Cloke was hospitalized after a coward punch incident, and the heroic actions of Jack Buckley in saving Isaac Heeney during a match[2].
