Brisbane have clinched the 2024 AFL premiership, making amends for last year's heartbreak after dominating in a one-sided contest over Sydney 18.12 (120) - 9.6 (60) in front of 100,013 in the MCG stands.

To top off an inspired finals campaign, Callum Ah Chee had a major influence on the contest, becoming the fourth Lion to kick four goals in a grand final, with additional score assists and a strong effort to make All-Australian Swan and direct match up Nick Blakey's afternoon a difficult one.

The 26-year-old contributed to the Lions' decisive 7-1 goal second quarter to blow a slim quarter time margin out to 46 points at the main break, and continued to find the footy in the later stages.

By the main break a year earlier Ah Chee had found a permanent spot on the bench, subbed out with a hamstring injury and just six disposals.

This year, he ran third in Norm Smith medal voting behind Will Ashcroft and Lachie Neale, polling with all five members of the panel.

With a suffocated midfield and three-straight grand final losses quickly turning into four, Sydney failed to contain a Brisbane outfit clearing out of the centre with ease, and finding loose men inside forward fifty throughout the afternoon.

There was little remaining in the contest by mid-way through the second term.

Injury blows throughout the contest, including forward Logan McDonald and star mid Isaac Heeney - whose afternoons both ended early - didn't help Sydney, their losses compounded by difficulties moving the ball and poor use, ending in another disappointing September for the Swans.

After an influential first half and going to the main break with two on the board, Ah Chee's third and fourth were symbolic of the afternoon, both times finding himself alone inside fifty, the last alone with only the ball and empty of space ahead of him to run into an open goal.

It's third time lucky for Lions favourite and veteran Charlie Cameron, earning his first premiership medal after failed attempts in 2017 with Adelaide and last season's loss to Collingwood.

Wayward kicking in front of the sticks - including two minor scores from directly in front, are the only sour notes on his afternoon.

Cameron helped his side enter the quarter time huddle with a goal's advantage after perfectly bent a shot from the sideline, 40 out, in the final moments of the term.

A dominant Lions handed veteran coach Chris Fagan a flag, and ended recent years of falling short of promise in September.

Ah Chee ended the afternoon with 13 touches, 4.3 and three goal assists on the scoresheet.

Cameron collected 13 touches for 1.2 in front of goals.

Sydney kicked four goals in the final term for some consolation to soften the final score line.
