Shut up. The footy's on Triple M. This is a Triple M footy mini-match. It's the 2026 Grand Final between Fremantle and Brisbane. Now, get ready for the first quarter.
McDonald, Dream on Water, Triple M rocks footy in the 2026 Grand Final. The big boys meet in the middle. Bolton's got Dunkley for company. Jackson, he'll play a big part. bolt in the immediate possession dragged down with the football straight to Ashcroft Lowman back into the path of Ashcroft coming the other way Sorong working in defence just hacks it round the corner burial track back didn't get a start last year with the shoulder looks to go by hand to Fletcher doesn't in the end drops the first one inside 50 McKenna's underneath it and it's carried across the line Voss has gone straight to Harris Andrews, was into him, into his grill, pushing him. Verbal assault on him as well. So that's going to be a massive
clash today. I love it. They shook hands and then he drove the shoulder straight into Harris Andrews.
Nathan Brown, Kate McCarthy, Isaac Smith for CBUS Super this afternoon. On the biggest stage, Bray Shaw will be so important for them this afternoon. Clears defensive 50. Amos accepts with a full chest and then had a fumble. Got tackled by Zorko. Empire lets it go. They don't
look overwhelmed, though, Jack Fremantle. They've won a couple of contests early. Even Amos there, clean pick-up off the ground. It's wet and slippery. Brisbane have had their dominance in attack early. Chapman just drops it down the line. Front position, Leicester gets out the back. Bolton taps it in front of himself. Rutkowski arrives back to Bolton. Little step now to Murphy-Reed. Hand pass dropped. Don't argue. Comes from the big boy!
Yeah!
Oh! Crossed the face and Voss had the opportunity and couldn't take it. One behind.
Triple M speaking trade scoreboard. Lions straight down through the corridor. It's Rayner with a long searching ball. Charlie Cameron and Lowman got in each other's way. Cameron won it back. Left foot snap. There's your grand final opener. Just like you did last year. Charlie Cameron sets the tone. And Brisbane have got the first. One straight six. Dockers one behind. Triple MB can trade scoreboard.
Well, Brownie, the only thing that makes torching a teammate in the goal square worse is the other team taking it end-to-end, scoring directly from a kick-out. Zorko got the ball. He got it in quick. Out in front of Rayner, and they were out. I thought Loman was going to take the mark. Cameron, fortune favours you sometimes when you try and do the team thing. He ran the block to try and allow Lohman to come back with the flight. Ball hits the ground. Cameron pounces and kicks it
off. Country road around the MCG. Sorong grabs out of the middle from the Jackson tack. Down towards Tracy. Marks on his chest in front of Gallop. He just wanders back and says, boys, we're going to steady things down and I'm going to line up from 52. Beautiful tap by Jackson. He did it multiple times last week against Sydney Early, but that was just up high and hit to the hitting area. Sorong was moving beautifully. Look, it's harder to do than what it looked like then, but that is just some nice connection. Only his second mark inside 50 in this finals campaign. Marked it at about 48. He'll kick from 52 with a wet football. Tracy hits it long. Tracy hits it straight. Turns around to the big crowd. And no, this is his first grand final goal.
That's a team lifter. 3-0-1-1-7. Brisbane one straight six. Triple M beacon trade scoreboard. Beacon trade. Banking trades with all the lightning fans. Switches the left foot for the job. Beacon trade. Let's make light work. There's one to get the boys on the back. Well, if that doesn't get them going, howie, your figurehead kicking a long bomb from 55 metres just to open their account for the day. And as you mentioned, Brownie, it's the centre-bound stuff. That's going to be important today. They're both very good at centre-bound. Brisbane, obviously, number one in the competition. But Freo have the weapons to nullify that. And there is just no better side in football than a key forward coming out, taking a mark, then going back and knocking a ten-rose back from 55 metres.
