Sunglasses working overtime as Lions celebrate premiership

The Brisbane Lions sure know how to celebrate a Premiership.

Vowing to go bigger and better than last year, there were raucous scenes inside the rooms after they defeated Geelong by 47 points at the MCG.

Logan Morris said the plan was “just have a crack” when it came to the celebrating.

“Just follow the older boys, they will take you under their wing,” he told the Herald Sun.

“All the vibes are up, we will celebrate a great season. The boys will enjoy tonight and probably the rest of the week.”

Kai Lohmann's ode to the powers above

Kai Lohmann has lifted the lid on his opening goal celebration during the Lions' triumphant Grand Final win.

Booting Brisbane's first of the game, Lohmann raised his hand to the sky, pointing to the above in evident gratitude.

Speaking on Sunday morning, Lohmann revealed that the celebration was an ode to the powers above.

“It was just to God,” Lohmann said.

“I don’t know, it’s been a hard year and I’ve worked so hard just to get back and get back playing and playing through injuries and stuff.

“It’s been a pretty hard year and I was just thanking God for all the stuff that he’s given me. He’s given me the opportunity to come out and play, live my dream and stand up in big moments which I love to do.

“I love these big moments like the grand finals and I want to be here every year.”

Sunglasses everywhere:

The Lions players have emerged from their hotel and they're moving VERY slowly, bless them. They are heading off to the family day in Fitzroy.

We heard from a little worse for wear Lachie Neale: "Little bit dusty this morning but pretty happy to be," he told Channel 7.

"I'm just proud of the group and to finish it how we did was just amazing."

9:34am Not everyone is dusty

Chris Fagan is fresh as a daisy this morning, pulling up at 11pm instead of 4am last year.

"Feels good," he said to Channel 7. "The thrill I get out of wining premierships is the joy it brings to everybody else.

"That to me is what it’s all about. I’m not worried about being a two-time coach.

"I watched a few highlights when I got back from the function. It was 4am last year, it was 11pm last night.

"Had one beer and feel fresh today. There’s a fair few functions coming up.

"The thing I enjoyed the most was when Oscar McInerney and Darcy Gardiner got their medals. That was special. They carried the cup off the ground as well."

Dunkley reveals extent of injury

Brisbane’s triple premiership star Josh Dunkley has revealed he played the Grand Final with a grade three syndesmosis injury.

He sustained the injury against Collingwood in the prelim but was adamant he would not miss the big dance.

“It was worth every bit of pain,” Dunkley after the 47-point victory over the Cats.

“I played with a grade three syndesmosis … the physios out there can do their work, but it’s a six-to-eight-week injury.

“I (was) playing with a lot of pain, but there are painkillers and stuff like that. At the end of the day I wanted to be out there. It wasn’t about kicks, marks and handballs, for me it was more about leadership and helping out the guys.

“Playing with this was pretty painful. But we’ve got 10 weeks now to get in the off-season. I will do anything for this club.”

8:10am Spare a thought for Jono Brown

Someone may have made a bet during Grand Final week and has to come good on it now!

All eyes on Jono Brown's hair this morning, we eagerly refresh his social media non stop, because on Friday, Brown said that if the club won the GF, he would get a hair cut like Kai Lohmann's.

“He has a bit of a mohawk, Kai,” Brown said after the siren when asked about the bet.

“I am a bit worried it might be a mohawk. We will see what happens. I said to him, ‘It is a nice sacrifice’.

“I think I am too deep now (to get out of it).

"Cam Rayner and Kai want to do it tonight. I might want to get it done now before they have a few too many.”

An empty MCG with just the winners will always be an iconic moment:

Inside the rooms:

Darcy Wilmot was the ringleader, using his can of beer as a phone and yelling "Ayyo shawty, pick up the phone!"

The club song followed and the party was in full swing.

They will have no lie-in this morning either with a trip to Fitzroy on the cards before the fly back home.

There was also the traditional ice bucket of gatorade for coach Chris Fagan.

Since taking over at the Lions in 2017, he has guided the side not only to three straight Grand Finals but also through one of their toughest times.
