Queensland Wins Again

Queensland has cemented its place as the dominant force in Australian football, defeating Geelong in today’s AFL Grand Final at the MCG.

The Lions secured victory with a final score of 75 – 122, overcoming a spirited Cats side in front of a capacity crowd. The result delivers Queensland another premiership and deepens the sense of frustration among Victorian supporters who continue to view the MCG and themselves as the spiritual home of the game.

Brisbane’s midfield controlled the contest from the opening bounce, with quick ball movement and relentless pressure ensuring Geelong were forced onto the back foot. The Lions forward line converted efficiently, and in the end, fucking destroyed them, silencing a partisan Victorian crowd that had been confident of celebrating another home-state triumph.

The win adds to a growing trend of non-Victorian dominance on the AFL’s biggest stage, underscoring the national spread of the competition and the decline of Victorian hegemony. For Geelong, the loss extends a period of inconsistency that has plagued the club since its last premiership.

Fans poured onto the streets of Fitzroy within minutes of the final siren, celebrating what they see as proof that Queensland is now the true heartland of the game. In Melbourne, thousands of Cats supporters left the ground in silence, back to their windswept hellhole at the arse end of the nation.

More to come.
