The football finals season has reached its dramatic crescendo with championship deciders across multiple competitions delivering unforgettable moments and setting up the ultimate showdown.

Starting in South Australia, we witnessed Sturt claim SANFL premiership glory with a commanding 31-point victory over Glenelg (16.9.105 to 11.8.74). Their dominance was particularly evident during an explosive third quarter where the two teams combined for an astonishing 11 goals. Meanwhile, Glenelg found consolation in the reserves competition, securing a convincing 13.9.87 to 9.8.62 win against the same opponent.

The AFL preliminary finals attracted massive crowds exceeding 95,000 at the MCG for both matches. Geelong demonstrated their championship credentials with a 30-point victory over Hawthorn, powered by standout performances from Patrick Dangerfield (31 disposals, 3 goals) and the exceptional Bailey Smith (36 disposals). Despite gallant efforts from Dylan Moore and Connor Nash, the Hawks couldn't maintain their early momentum against the experienced Cats.

Brisbane punched their ticket to back-to-back grand finals with an impressive 15.10.100 to 11.5.71 triumph over Collingwood. The Lions' fourth-quarter surge showcased why they're reigning premiers, with Will Ashcroft, Josh Dunkley, and Zane Zico all playing crucial roles. Jamie Elliott's four-goal haul wasn't enough for the Magpies to overcome Brisbane's relentless pressure.

Beyond the elite competitions, we celebrated the inclusive SANFL league featuring over 315 participants across eight teams. Gilbert claimed their premiership by the narrowest of margins—just one point—while Meshie Greenwood (Aberdeen) and Brad Kimmoss (Kenneweth) earned best and fairest honors.

Looking ahead to the AFL Grand Final, Geelong and Brisbane will battle for the ultimate prize before an anticipated crowd exceeding 100,000. My prediction sees the Cats winning by 35 points with Bailey Smith claiming the Norm Smith Medal, but Brisbane's championship experience means this contest could deliver countless twists and turns.
