The 2023 AFL finals season finally comes to a close on Saturday, the 30th of September, with a Grand Final battle between the Collingwood Magpies and Brisbane Lions.
Both sides are no strangers to Grand Final success. With a victory on Saturday the Magpies would win their sixteenth title, tying them with the Blues and Bombers for most ever. Likewise, the Lions are looking for the fourth Grand Final trophy in team history.
With so much history at stake, look for both sides to play their best footy of the season. Best of all, you won’t need to miss a minute of the action whether streaming the match to a mobile device or watching at home on TV.
