The Dockers led by 17 points at the 23rd minute mark of the last quarter, before the Lions kicked four straight goals to snatch an incredible feat for their club in front of 100,023 people.

Logan Morris kicked the final two sealing goals of the match — the first with 90 seconds to play — putting Brisbane in front before he sealed the match in the dying seconds.

Fremantle’s Shai Bolton became the fifth player to win the Norm Smith medal in a losing team.

After Patrick Voss missed an early chance to get the first goal of the match, Charlie Cameron pounced on the counter-attack to get the Lions up-and-running.

Josh Treacy delivered the steadier for the Dockers shortly after as a tight first quarter started to develop.

Consecutive goals to Oscar Allen and Kai Lohmann got the Brisbane back out in front, before Murphy Reid put himself at the forefront of the match.

After missing a gilt-edged opportunity streaming inside 50 with numbers, Reid made up for it from the subsequent stoppage, sharking the ball and snapping a goal — with the Lions holding a one-point lead at the first change.

It was also three goals apiece in the second quarter with the Dockers getting the go-ahead six pointer three times before Brisbane got the next one on each occasion.

Voss kicked two goals in the term to become the first multiple goalkicker of the match, while Conor McKenna kicked a miraculous goal of his own.

At half-time the scores were level at 43-apiece — a familiar situation for Brisbane, who were tied with Geelong at half-time last year before kicking away in third term.

The Dockers jumped out of the blocks in the premiership quarter with Josh Treacy missing an easy shot before Jye Amiss snapped the first goal of the quarter.

However, potential disaster struck shortly after with Fremantle captain Alex Pearce suffering a match-ending leg injury.

Despite the setback, Isaiah Dudley kicked a magnificent goal from the 50 to get the Dockers out to a match-high 15-point lead half-way through the third term.

But the Lions weren’t done yet — responding with two quick-fire goals to Lohmann and Allen, pulling the margin back to under a kick.

Another fast break goal saw Zac Bailey find Cameron, who incredibly put Brisbane back in front with five minutes remaining in the quarter.

The twists and turns continued, with Hayden Young kicking a goal from centre bounce and a magnificent set shot snap from the boundary to give the Dockers a 10-point lead at the last break.

The first goal of the last quarter was crucial — as Pat Voss missed a difficult chance and Hugh McCluggage fluffed an relatively easy set shot.

However, Logan Morris — who had a dirty day up to this point — snapped a goal to bring the margin back under a goal once again.

Brisbane had several repeat inside 50s but the Dockers defence held up until they got an opportunity of their own with Michael Frederick snapping truly to push the margin out to nine with seven minutes remaining.

After Josh Treacy missed from point-blank range, Voss marked and converted from 15m out to see Fremantle lead by 17 points — what appeared to be a match-winning lead with four minutes to play.

But you can never count the Lions, with two goals in less than a minute to Cameron and Zac Bailey dragging the margin back to five points with less than three to go.

A stalemate endured until 90 seconds to go before Morris took a huge contested mark on Oscar McDonald and converted the shot under incredible pressure to give Brisbane the lead with a minute to play.

The Dockers managed to win the centre clearance, but the Lions got the ball out of their 50, streamed up field and kicked the match sealer via Morris.
