Why Jenkins thinks Brisbane’s 2024 triumph is one of “the great premierships of all-time”

Former Adelaide and Geelong forward Josh Jenkins has described Brisbane’s 2024 premiership success as one of the greatest flag victories of all time.

Jenkins’ big call came after the Lions disposed of Sydney 60-120 at the MCG despite coming into the game as underdogs.

The Lions took the hard road to premiership glory this September, coming from fifth to go all the way while winning on the road in three consecutive weeks against favoured opposition.

Jenkins thinks that Brisbane’s 2024 flag will take some beating and he has the entirety of their finals campaign as one of the best he has ever seen.

“It's one of the great premierships of all time,” Jenkins told SEN Crunch Time.

“I haven't seen them all. I've only seen probably 15 or 20, but if you want to go back through history (it stacks up).

“They were 0-3 (to start the season), then 3-1-5 (after Round 9).

“They finished outside the top four and then their finals series consists of being 60-0 up against Carlton, they disposed of them.

“They then go on the road, they're down by seven goals, but they come back and win the game in Western Sydney.

“They then come to Melbourne and they beat Geelong after being down by three goals.

“Then they fly back to Melbourne, they turn up on Grand Final day and they beat the team that had been the best team all year by 10 goals.

“It will take some beating.”
