Brisbane Lions v Carlton Highlights | Preliminary Final, 2023 | AFL 

Lol the timekeeper holds the button for the siren after the lion’s song plays

Full credit to the Lions for fighting back from a 5 goal deficit in the first quarter and to be able to book their spot into their first grand final since 2004. The Blues did so well to not only get their season back on track in the 2nd half of the season but to be able to progress deep into September but couldn't quite get it done in the prelim. All the best for the Lions next week too against the pies at the G (Lol, first time there since 2017)

7afl were really excited for about a quarter 😭

Amazing comeback by Brisbane in Q2. Realised what wasn’t working, changed their game, and never looked back. It was a Lions-looking game from then on. Kiddy Coleman and Dunkley were sensational. Whole team’s pressure lifted. When Brisbane are switched on, they are riveting 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Their defenders, led by Harris, were excellent. McKenna, Darcy Gardiner, who hadn’t played since Rd 13 and only 2 games this season, was superb. Big O in the ruck. 2 best teams of the season playing in the final. Looking forward to it!

Im so Proud of my bois :)

What an incredible improvement from Carlton over a short period of time. Just 2 years ago they conceded like 19 consecutive goals in a nearly 100 point loss to port, and then here they are putting up a fight against brisbane at the gabba

Just like last year. Brisbane is the best attacking side, so even a 30-point lead isn't safe. Good on them!

Can't imagine a better game, GO LIONS!!

congrats to carlton for making it this far against all odds, but this game ended pr much at half time, carlton forwards looked so slow and curnow was not an active part of this team in finals, we’ll see you boys next year

Dominant performance after giving the Blues a 5 goal headstart in 14 minutes. Hard to pick a winner in the granny but I'm hoping for Brisbane.

I’m very proud of the team we were 15th but in three months of football since then we have only lost 2 matches one was a nothing game the other Aganist probably the best team in the competition at home. We will only get better and can definitely win a couple premierships with this team and finish top 4 next season.

As a Carlton supporter I never expected us to beat Brisbane at the Gabba. It was more of hope than anything. Lions didn’t finish 2nd and were undefeated at the Gabba all season long for no reason. Still it’s disappointing to lose. Hopefully this will stir the players on for taking the next step. The one positive I can take is making a preliminary final with both Charlie and Harry having next to no impact with lack of goals. If they can work it who knows what 2024 will be like.

congrats for carlton getting to the prelims

To be fair, we lost fairly. But there's nothing wrong with that. Im one of the 95,000 fans who's happy with this result. This year Carlton pulled off a great season, and looking for another, and another. The flag will come soon... Proud of the boys.

Blues started so strong.... As a Pies fan, I'm not supposed to say this, but I feel real bad for them. I do have a soft spot for Carlton, and was so happy to see them come from where they were earlier in the season. For what it's worth, well done Blues, hope to see you continue this form next year. As for Lions, we'll see you at the MCG. Can't pretend I ain't nervous 👍🏽

great comeback! great game, from the UK trying to totally understand the game lol love the atmosphere and comentry from the AFL, theses guys are tough! love all things Australia!

Blues fans been great nice and loud during the finals. Keep it up.

I was so sad in the first quarter it was like 30-0

Blues played really well. They are going to be there soon !

Loved this book by Paul Carter read it a long time ago. Ready to read it again! Marvellous adventures.

Brisbane lions in to the afl grand final and the Brisbane Broncos the nrl. Big weekend for Brisbane next week and would be unreal for Brisbane to hold both titles at the same time.

Great game and well earnt win by brisbane. Carlton and Stkilda both exceeded expectations this year, will be interesting to see how they do next year.

Good experience for Carlton, no finals players to all now playing in three finals.

The timekeeper sure was excited

UP THE LIONS🦁🦁🦁

See You Next Year Carlton Bad Luck.

Well done boys, GO LIONS!!!!!!!

We will beating you lions!!!! GO PIES!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧

I was just there to see if curnow would continue his goal streak. So were Carlton apparently.

The commentary was atrociously pro Carlton. Next week is gonna be even worse! Up the Lions

I'm going for the Brisbane lions

Up the Lions let’s go for the Win Queenslander

Even that final siren wanted to join in the celebrations LOL

Why not show all the goals? It's not like they've got a limit before the next ads..

American here - great game.

Curnow is a minnow against quality teams. He got found out badly this final series. Soft af.

Hopefully lions start the game at the first quarter next week,not the second

Exciting match.

People need to understand that curnow can’t do everything, he played an incredible season and the fact that we can play well without his surges is good enough, you can’t solely rely on one player, and people who don’t support Carlton have clearly turned a blind eye to the fact that he plays a far more important role now, he’s not all about kicking goals anymore and what he’s doing is helping others get on the scoreboard

I didn't watch the game but just like I thought, the umpires carried Carlton through the first half like they have throughout the whole season! Almost all of Carlton's highlights came from Free Kicks and another highlight where it shows the Blues infringe in ruck contest(1:57) and no Free Kick against, where they kick a goal!

How do carlton choke a 5 goal lead🤣😂

Lions might wanna supply their own umpires next week.

The umpires tried their best to make Brisbane lose

The reason I reckon lions didn’t lose this prelim is because of Coleman

Lions seem to have a team switch. When it's flipped ON, who beats them?

Thx lions (from a dees fan)

Congrats to Luke Darcy and Carlton. Hopefully Carlton beat the Pies next week... whaaaa, they didn't win... why not try to commentate with a little less bias. Then again, the wisdom he used to pick bizarre hair styles, is the same wisdom he applies today.

Top 2 teams meeting in the grand final of the AFL and NRL. As it should be. Justice done. Top 8 is just a financial and ratings process 💰 Not enough credit or reward given to the team finishing on top at the end of the real season (competition).

The two best teams all year will fight it out in the grand final. Just goes to show when the free kicks dry up...... Carlton can't win

Very disappointed Carlton choked a five goal lead. Just shows we’re still not one of the best in the comp. Hopefully next year

Yes! Brisbane Lions Won On My Enemy

Why were there so many Carlton fans allowed into the gabba?

Carlton was great until sunset

Carlton just slipped away in the end

That third goal was an absolute gift to Carlton, and should be cause for review. Hipwood barely gets possession, gets it knocked out his hands, and this is supposedly called 'holding the ball'? The ball then goes into Starcevich's gate and naturally gets kicked a short distance away whilst the whistle is still being blown. No hand signal has yet been called by the umpire, and they call a 50m penalty??? Two incorrect decisions in a row that directly results in a goal to Carlton.

Unfair umpires didn’t give us any free kicks

Seriously the skills standard of both teams was exceptionally poor for professional AFL players in a finals series. To think, these AFL players want pay rises and they can't even kick goals from inside 25 metres out? Come on. The average bloke and kids on the street must be shaking there heads. And those bloody banana kicks and dribble kicks along the ground, useless get rid of them low percentage. Yes the players are super fit machines, and the games is a hell of a lot faster. But if you can't match it with ya mind set and ya skills , may as well be jogging. Concentrate and Think! Carlton all you needed to do once ya had Brisbane on the ropes was start to control the tempo of game. Dum Arses. But yes it was a hard learning experience. There is no use climbing a mountain if ya don't reach the top. No place in coming second except excuses. Yes , everyone saying ya did well to get there, but ya professional sportsmen not amateurs. On the bright side great crowds and atmosphere. No wasn't there watch on T.V. Collingwood to win G.F. in close one . Let's hope it's a great game .

Dont worry blues fans. well make sure to smash those flying rats next week by 50 💪💪🦁

Hamish McLachlan's commentary is always 2nd rate, IMO

Brisbane take their foot off the pedal all the time and allow teams back into the game. They won't be able to do that and keep winning.

We did our best but the pricks beat us. We'll get the bastards this year.

Brisbane premiers 2023

Blues started hot then fell asleep after quarter time. Lions way to good. Piled on the goals. Think the pies will be to strong for the lions as the lions are garbage when playing away.

Carlton 🤣

It was Carlton vs the AFL lions, Carlton never had a chance. NRL state teams must go deep into finals, it’s why pies where robbed of a grand final last year. Market share and growth is afl #1

I thought this was rugby? I'm a dumb american. Am I wrong?

Robbed 🤓

FINALLY AFTER 5 YEARS OF PAIN THE LOINS HAVE FINALLY MADE THE GRAND FINAL You watch they will get smashed by 40

Time to sack voss

‘02 and ‘03 rematch should be a good game

the Giants V Collingwood prelim was better, I'm a giants fan sad we lost but I think this season we are on the right track

COUNTRY ROAD

Now these two teams have a revenge game for the elimination finals As a pies fan I’m hoping lions smash Carlton by 30+ points

I really don’t 2ant Collingwood to win the final

As a Collingwood supporter I was hoping for Carlton ... Blues let me down again.

I don’t understand afl can someone explain?

F### we had it in the first if we kept playing like that the whole game we would’ve won 2023 grand final we could beat Collingwood easy

the refs were biased. the TOUCHED goal WAS HIS HAIR AFL YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR REFS

Too much Vic-bias commentary. Seriously 7 afl commentators need to get the axe

This comment section was proudly brought to you by VISY recycling. Nicely done, Brisbane. Let's make this a good grand final. Don't want the losers to be attacked by bots here (like every time). A decade or 2 in the making for the lions to reach for the big time. Colour me impressed. - sports fan.👍🙂

The Blues supporters were off the chain in the first quarter but after that they were all like worried and sombre little puppy dogs 😂

Fuckin VFL flogs 😂 Commentry was one sided & even this playback is biased 😂

Gotta be the longest siren in history

The Grand Final is between Brisbane and Colingwood, both teams were defeated by Hawthorn this year.Carn the Hawks!!!

How did Carlton blow a thirty-point lead in this Preliminary Final? Brisbane just roared back and overran the Blues. Collingwood await them now.

Most of Australia will be hoping Lions lose to Collingwood, also lose by a massive margin so they remain an irrelevant club.

The wooow from Carlton fans when Saad kicks it 40 metres got quiet and quiet. Priceless

Sorry John Valmorbida. Not this time, buddy.

i think the reason why carlton lost was because in the first quarter they used all their energy

my teddies were watching it but they went in the box for losing even quacks

Does the goat respond?

Who is everyone picking to win the grand final next week

Credit to the blues from 13th then to winning about 9 in a row and making a prelim but Brisbane were the better team in this match

Go Lions next week.

It's a pity the lions got up, would've been a real grand final with Carlton v Collingwood.

Charlie camerons 3 elbows to Saads head for no reason in the 1st quarter, what an absolute scumbag of a player. Unlucky blues the better team won but what a season, gave many people some amazing memories & something to be proud of & move forward with 💙 Go pies next week

Just one point from having a non Victorian grand final

I just hope The Lions don’t stuff it up against Collingwood next week, they’ve played well this year , I want to see them continue this trend into the future
