Saturday's climax to the season didn't produce the heart-stopping spectacle that neutral observers were hoping for to finish off one of the tightest campaigns in AFL history.

It did, however, give the Brisbane Lions' faithful the experience of flag-winning fun in the dying stages of the game, all but securing their premiership more than a quarter in advance against a devastated Swans outfit.

2023's grand final was always going to be hard to top, and while this game wasn't rife with the same back 'n forth highlights spanning all four quarters, a handful of plays will be remembered for a long time as future Lions look back on the 2024 triumph.

We've looked through the highlights from 2024 Grand Final Day to decide on the five best plays on Brisbane's big day.

2Rayner's rise

It was an otherwise quiet day for former number one pick Cam Rayner, but he still left his mark on the biggest stage of all with the best mark of the day.

Brisbane never needed the x-factor of their impact forward during the match, blitzing through Sydney's zone all day long without much trouble.

They still got a taste of it in the premiership quarter with game decided, when Rayner found space out the back of a pack and launched to reel in this grab.

Having played his part in getting Brisbane to the ultimate stage, Rayner will be content with his triumphant September campaign, relishing the victory and the moments like these that helped made it happen.
