Live: Daniher kicks two late goals as Brisbane complete dramatic 44-point comeback to eliminate GWS

Lions midfielder Jarrod Berry to Fox Footy after the win.

“I’m watching the replay and it’s just absolutely crazy. I haven’t seen a room like this since the prelim we won against Carlton last year.”

How good are these celebrations from the Lions at the final siren?!

An unbelievable game from Joe, hey Jen?

Daniher finished with four goals and 13 disposals.

“He is an enigma. There is a couple of times you go, ‘Joe, what are you doing?’,” says teammate Lachie Neale.

“He wants the ball in his hands, which we love, and he’s a confidence player. We love Joe.”

Here are the numbers after a simply incredible game of football.

• Disposals: GWS 337-316
• Inside 50s: Brisbane 56-49
• Clearances: Brisbane 50-48
• Contested Possessions: GWS 147-140
• Marks Inside 50: GWS 16-9
• Tackles: GWS 83-67

Two of the top three players on the ground are Giants, but that counts for very little at this stage.

1. 1.Kieran Briggs (GWS): 13 disposals, 54 hitouts, five clearances, one goal
2. 2.Oscar McInerney (BL): 13 disposals, 39 hitouts, five clearances, one goal
3. 3.Harry Himmelberg (GWS): 24 disposals, six marks, four intercept possessions

An honourable mention to Brisbane youngster Will Ashcroft, who flipped that game in the third quarter. He finished with 27 disposals, nine clearances and TEN score involvements.

Lachie Neale says Ashcroft is “built for finals footy” on Fox Footy. It’s hard to argue on tonight’s evidence, that’s for sure.

 LW, this is going to lead to some serious soul-searching for the Giants, you’re right.

They lost from being up 28 last week and have now lost from 44 points up this week to go out in straight sets.

That’s the type of stuff that stays with you for a while.

Brisbane kicked the last six goals of the match to close it out.

The Brisbane Lions coach is absolutely over the moon, and rightly so!

What a bloody win that was. Absolutely unbelievable.

Lions midfielder Hugh McCluggage emotional chatting with Cameron Ling.

“Unbelievable. The best win I’ve been a part of for sure. We fought so hard all night, it looked like we were out of it a couple of times, but we kept coming back. I’m just so proud of the group, it’s awesome.”

Brother, I need a drink. What on earth was that game?!

Joe Daniher, the man of the moment, speaking with Cameron Ling after the siren.

I cannot believe how they’ve pulled that off. An absolute HEIST.

“Yeah it was fantastic mate, we hung in there didn’t we? Looked gone a couple of times but we did enough to not let it get out of hand and we got there. The wind was helping me out a bit, it’s nice to get a result mate.”

THE LIONS HAVE DONE IT!

HOLY HOLY SMOKES!

The Giants cannot quite believe what has gone on. They’ve collapsed from 44 points up in the third quarter.

Joe Daniher, you absolute STAR!

Ball up 65m out from the GWS goal!

Zac Bailey with a massive intercept mark!

We’re into the final minute!

Boundary throw-in deep in the Giants 50, 1.38 left on the clock.

Every player on the ground barring Daniher is inside the Giants’ attacking 50.

JOE DANIHER IS TAKING OVER THIS GAME!

A massive contested mark deep inside 50 against Sam Taylor, and he drills the set shot.

The Lions hit the front with 2.26 left on the clock.

Absolute mayhem at the Showgrounds!

JOE DANIHER, THE MASTER OF THE IMPOSSIBLE!

Daniher gets the free kick after a deliberate out of bounds call. He is on the wrong side for a left-footer, tucked in towards the boundary, and drills the set shot.

Only Joe can do such a thing!

The crowd is stunned. 3.37 left. One point game.

Four minutes to go and the Giants are clinging to this lead.

Callan Ward with a huge intercept mark after Josh Dunkley soccered one forward.

All the momentum is with Brisbane at the moment.

A rushed behind from the Giants after an errant shot on goal from Hugh McCluggage.

There are five minutes to go in this one, it is truly anyone’s match.

THE LIONS ARE NOT DONE YET!

There’s a ball in dispute in the middle of the ground, the Lions will it forward and Hugh McCluggage finds Jaspa Fletcher.

Fletcher drills it on the run from 45m out and the margin is down to EIGHT points!

Four in a row to the Lions.
