AFL Grand Final 2024 player ratings: Which Lions young gun led all players and which Swans star earned ZERO in MCG bloodbath? Brisbane Lions torched Sydney by 60 points in grand final Young brigade and veterans stood up for the Lions Very few Swans managed to compete with rampant Brisbane side By Josh Alston For Daily Mail Australia Published: 08:35, 28 September 2024 | Updated: 08:47, 28 September 2024 e-mail 2 View comments The Brisbane Lions fell short in the 2023 AFL grand final but made no mistake of it this time around, putting the Sydney Swans to the sword at the MCG. The 60-point belting of the minor premiers means the Sydney Swans have now lost their last four grand finals, with some current players taking part in all four of those losses. Brisbane was sublime when it counted while a host of Swans players left their best games on the team bus.
Here are the players that shone, and the ones that will want to forget about this grand final performance. Sydney Swans Isaac Heeney was the best player in the best team all season but turned in a quiet match when it counted on grand final day before finishing the game injured Dane Rampe - 2 The Swans captain has now lost four grand finals and never looked likely to influence this one. Missed a staggering amount of 1-on-1 contests.
A shattering result for one of the Swan's most loyal servants. Tom McCartin - 2 Another Swan that was largely unsighted for most of the match. Nick Blakey - 3 Committed the cardinal sin in footy - no.
