The 2026 HAW & BRIS Prelim is the first V/AFL final where both sides scored 120+ points since the 1989 HAW v GEEL Grand Final #AFLHawksLions #AFLFinals #AFL

That is very close to the greatest game of football I've ever seen. Both teams should be so proud of their efforts, that's the way footy should always be played. #aflhawkslions

Seasons where the two Qualifying Final winners both got knocked out in the Preliminary Final 2016 - geel & gws 2020 - port & bris 2026 - SYD & HAW #AFLHawksLions #AFLSwansFreo #AFLFinals #AFL

Great atmosphere here, can’t wait for this one, very good chance this could be the best game of the finals I reckon. Good luck to Hawks & Lions!! Hoping for a classic! #aflhawkslions

Worth noting once again both QF winners lost PFs, playing just one game in 26-27 days. That means just 10/20 QF winners got to GF since introduction of pre-finals bye in 2016, opposed to 17/18 immediately prior. Top four finish significantly devalued. One of AFL's worst rule changes. #aflhawkslions

Dayne Zorko now holds the record for most V/AFL finals played after turning 30 23rd final, going past Michael Tuck's 22 Dayne Zorko also shares the record for fewest V/AFL finals played before turning 30 0 finals #AFLFinals #AFLHawksLions #AFL

36 of the last 40 years have featured at least one of HAW & BRIS in finals. The 2026 PF is the first time they have met in a final #AFLHawksLions #AFLFinals #AFL
