My team won! What an upset over last year's premiers. And I missed watching it all.
It was also Heritage Round, so my team wore the last Fitzroy jumper worn before the merger between the Fitzroy Lions and the Brisbane Bears.

Easily the biggest upset of the 2007 AFL Premiership Eagles. The Brisbane Lions, coming off a 7 match streak without a win faced the toughest assignment in the competition in travelling to Perth to take on the righing premiers at Subiaco Oval.
Considering that theLions, even during their premiership dynasty found the Eagles a very tough side to beat, no one gave the Lions a chance, with the bookies instilling the Eagles as unbackable favorites.
What transpired was a massive surprise, and will go down as one of the greatest matches in Brisbane Lions club history. A victory that was made even sweeter by the fact that the players wore the final strip of the Fitzroy Football Club.
