  "account": "The 2026 AFL Grand Final saw the Brisbane Lions overcome a dominant Fremantle team through moments of brilliance, despite being outplayed for much of the match. Fremantle, the two-time champions, controlled much of the game, particularly in the first half. However, the Lions gradually turned the tide in the third quarter, gaining possession and managing 15 marks on the lead. This shift, combined with the return to form of captain Alex Pearce, enabled Brisbane to score 14 points in five minutes. The combination of these moments and key performances ultimately allowed the Lions to secure their first premiership of the modern era, making it one of the greatest finals in recent history.",
  "summary": "In a game that Fremantle dominated on the stats sheet, Chris Fagan's men found a way to dominate in the moments.",
