For the final time in season 2024, AFL Unpopular Opinions with Alastair Lynch, Tom Rockliff and Dylan Leach is back to reflect on the Lions mighty win in the Grand Final and That was the Season that was.

Fresh from celebrating, Former Lions and our very own co-hosts in Lynchy and Rocky reflect on what Brisbane’s premiership means to them from the perspective of their respective eras of the club and all the highs and lows of the day itself.

The highs and lows of the day, where to next for the Lions, how can the Swans recover from their fourth Grand Final loss in a decade, what did we love in season 2024 and just a general recovery session podcast before the boys wrap up and enjoy the Neds AFL Unpopular Opinions Mad Monday.

Neds numbers man Ryan Cook also jumps on for one last time to give an indication of the futures markets, but it’s mostly just to shoot the breeze.

It’s been a big year in footy, and a big weekend for all involved.

So it’s come to this

The Sydney Swans and the Brisbane Lions in the AFL Grand Final.

Patrick Cripps has won the Brownlow by a record 45 votes

However, let’s spend the first five minutes of the show recapping Dylan’s run-in with his old mate Kane Cornes at the SEN studios in Melbourne.

After that, we talk about the football.

Two former Brisbane captains Tom Rockliff and Alastair Lynch discuss the strengths and weaknesses both the Lions and Swans, how we’ve got the two best teams of the season playing in the biggest game, and what their old club being in the Grand Final means to them.

We ask if the Brownlow voting has gone a bit crazy after Patrick Cripps won it with a record 45 votes, what things should change, improve, and basically solve all of football’s problems in the first half an hour of the show.

Ryan Cook returns for a special Grand Final edition of the Snapshot and with Rocky produces one of the juiciest multi’s we’ve seen for the whole year. Can they finish the season off in style?

We’ll also work out a way for fans who want to travel to Melbourne for the Game with the cheapest options and the usual mix of footy, bets and banter that only AFL Unpopular Opinions can offer.

We got the chocolates? More like we got the Brownlow!



In a very special Brownlow edition of Neds AFL Unpopular Opinions, Dylan Leach and Ryan Cook are joined by Mitch and Leigh of We Got The Chocolates Fame to discuss football’s night of nights.



From the vote counting, pettiness, who should give out the votes, who should get the votes, crownies, the glitz, the glamour and even some best bets to make the night more interesting.



If you want proper form and analysis, this probably isn’t the podcast for you – but if you want value  along with our usual mix of footy, bets and banter – this actually is the podcast for you.
