Brisbane's monster 60-point grand final win over Sydney favours all Lions players in the day's player rankings.
A host of Lions players were dominant on the last Saturday in September, namely midfield pair Will Ashcroft and Lachie Neale, while crafty forwards Kai Lohmann and Callum Ah Chee kicked four goals each.
Neale and Ashcroft combined for 64 disposals, 14 clearances and 22 score involvements.
Down back, the efforts of Harris Andrews, Jack Payne, Ryan Lester and Brandon Starcevich quelled any thrust forward from the Swans, limiting the impressive scoring powerhouse to a measly 60 points, their third lowest total of the year.

Sydney was no match for the Lions, leading momentarily in the first term before 14 goals to five after quarter time.
Chris Fagan's men played their dominant possessive brand, resulting in 158 marks for the day, ensuring good looks in front of goal which is highlighted by a 66.7 per cent efficiency inside 50.
Although it was a blanket of Lions staking claims for the top end of the 2024 AFL Grand Final rankings, there can only be one leader.
Here is our list ranking all 46 players on their performance during Saturday's grand final.
