An electric second half display from Charlie Cameron has lifted Brisbane to back-to-back flags after setting up a late pile-on, with four goals of his own, in Saturday's AFL grand final.

Cameron and Callum Ah Chee were both among Brisbane's best in what blew out to a 47 point win 18.14 (122) to 11.9 (75) in front of 100,000-plus.

After nothing separated the two sides at the main break, Cameron lifted after a modest first half to give the Lions the advantage in the famed 'premiership quarter'.

Back-to-back majors set up their 19-point advantage at the final break.

The two sides locked square 5.6 (36) a piece at half time after a quarter of two halves and swinging momentum.

It was the first time in more than a century where scores were level at the main break of a grand final.

A 13-to-six goal second half handed the defending premiers another cup.

After a year where he struggled to string together form, it was a strong showing, and season-best performance for Cameron.

The game looked destined to be an arm wrestle earlier on, despite some warning signs for Brisbane after spoiling their chances to trail 15-12 at the first change after 1.6 in front of goals.

Ah Chee was among the best on ground early in the contest.

He had six touches, two tackles and a pair of solid contested marks in an afternoon he'd spend patrolling play a kick behind the footy and making few mistakes when he found it.

By full time that had grown to 17 touches in what is rumoured as a possible last game for the club.

Cats halfback Lawson Humphries was the architect behind a share of Geelong's movement in response to Brisbane's field advantage early on.

The 22-year-old's influence trailed off late - as did that of the bulk of his teammates when the Lions took over.

Geelong looked their best for a patch from mid-way through the second term with their best ball movement of the afternoon.

That came after the Lions came out of the first change in a fashion eerily reminiscent of their second quarter demolition of Sydney 12 months earlier.

Stengle had showed glimpses, while Cameron already had his best goal of the day by the major break.

The veteran's biggest impact came late in the third with neither side proving able to hedge in front.

Cameron's first came from bodying strong to mark 25 metres out, with another moments later after being handed the footy running into open goal for a 13 point buffer shortly before three-quarter time.

He almost had a fourth with a deep tumbling ball after Bruce Reville weaved and waltzed out of congestion from the restart.

The Papua New Guinean Lion, Reville, looked very good when he got his opportunities.

Lachie Neale made it a three goal advantage at the final change when he showed no signs of his lower-body injury, slotting on the run from 50.

There were signs, however, of what was to come in the fourth quarter.

Cameron got his fourth straight out of the gates coming from well behind the contest to mark straight out in front.

The Lions hadn't lost in 2025 when the 31 year old kicked three - which he did on seven occasions without reaching four.

It started a stretch of play where Brisbane kicked nine goals to two to run away with the match, before three consolation goals to end the season.

Jack Martin, restricted to one quarter of football as Geelong's sub, helped the Cats with one of their earlier pair in the fourth.

Geelong had resisted subbing out key forward Jeremy Cameron, who appeared to suffer a serious arm injury earlier in the contest.

He had immediate impact from his first touch.

After a strong contested mark surrounded bodies, Martin gave a sharp delivery to Mark Bliscavs - who was aided with a 50m metre penalty and promoted to the goal square.

It finished his only disposal of the afternoon, chasing his first flag at his third club after being handed a lifeline by the Cats after his exit from Carlton last year.

Humphries finished with an impressive 23 touches in Geelong's backline. Stengle had 12 disposals including four inside fifties, and two behinds.

For the premiers, Ah Chee collected 17 touches, with seven marks and seven touches. He was important in the Lions' first half fortunes.

Cameron's performance read 4.1 in front of goals from 10 touches.
