The 2025 Grand Final was, for the most part, a scintillating contest between the Cats and Lions and saw Brisbane claim a second consecutive premiership.
The Lions' relentless pressure, exceptional foot skills and dominance from stoppage were all at the heart of their ultimate premiership success which saw them fly home to Queensland as 47-point victors.

The second term was a see-saw affair as both team's wrestled to gain momentum.

His agility saw him out-manoeuvre Tom Atkins, before striking the Sherrin toward goal from 50-metre out, getting just enough carry to put Brisbane's lead back out to seven points.
