00:00A celebration more than two decades in the making.
00:07The Cup returning to Queensland, Premiership players greeted by fans at the airport.
00:13Louis Zorco closely guarding the prized silverware his father helped to win.
00:18Is it heavy? Not really.
00:21The players feeling better than they're sounding.
00:24Feeling good. It was an unbelievable win. So exciting for the club.
00:29Thousands packed the Lions' Queensland headquarters to officially welcome the team home.
00:36Players treated like rock stars before heading out to continue the festivities.
00:42Earlier today, the Melbourne Pride of Lions found their voice...
00:46Right on Brisbane Town, we'll never rule the world.
00:50Blue and gold, hey, hey!
00:52...in the spiritual heart of Old Fitzroy.
00:56A bit of rain didn't stop fans from turning up to catch a glimpse of the Premiership Cup.
01:03After a big night of celebrations, players donned sunglasses in spite of the gloomy conditions.
01:09For Lachie Neal, the ecstasy of winning far outweighed the pain of a sore foot.
01:15If you told a 16, 17-year-old Lachie Neal that he's going to be a Premiership captain for an AFL team,
01:23I would have, yeah, I would have fainted probably.
01:26I'm over the moon at the moment. I'm so happy for this club.
01:29We've come from the bottom and we've got to the top, so it's unbelievable.
01:32One of the biggest cheers was saved for the coach.
01:36Chris Fagan gave fans a lasting memory and had a chance to reflect on a special moment he shared with his predecessor, Lee Matthews.
01:44We saw each other after the game and we had a bit of a hug and it was just one of those moments where I just said thanks to him for all that he's done for me.
01:51Time to reflect for the Swans too, who have months to figure out what went wrong after another crushing grand final loss.
01:58I'm completely apiece with our prep, which I guess is what makes it so hollow, is that we don't know where we went wrong.
02:05They also nursed injuries on the return home, a horror end to a disastrous day.
02:10The grand final defeat was John Longley's fourth in five appearances.
02:15It's a hard thing to do. I'd much rather get into the ring and have a swing than be standing outside looking in.
02:22But to the victors, go the spoils.
