Episode notes
BRISBANE ARE THE 2026 AFL PREMIERS! 🏆🦁
This week on Between The Sticks, we unpack the AFL Grand Final — how Brisbane took control, where Fremantle fell short, and who stood up when it mattered most.
⚓ Where did the Dockers lose it? We discuss their costly “red time” lapses, the impact of Alex Pearce’s injury, and the moments that swung the game away from Fremantle.
🦁 How did Brisbane get it done? From Josh Dunkley’s defensive work and 11 tackles to Logan Morris’ clutch goal, we break down the Lions’ biggest performances and how their forward structure helped deliver another premiership.
🏅 Did the Norm Smith voting get it right? We debate the performances of Will Ashcroft, Josh Dunkley and Dayne Zorko, and whether the voting system needs to change.
Plus, should the superstition around touching the premiership cup disappear? Should players who contributed throughout the season but missed the Grand Final receive premiership medals?
With the cup lifted, we also turn our attention to the trade period and what comes next as clubs prepare for 2027.
🎙️ Join Nabil and Suhayb for our Grand Final wrap on Between The Sticks!
