This is the first time since 2014 that the teams that finished first and second at the end of the home and away season have met each other in the Grand Final.
The biggest leads of the game were 12 points for the Collingwood Magpies and 13 points for the Brisbane Lions.
Both of the teams competing in this Grand Final had lost preliminary finals in 2022.
Matt Stevic took the outright Victorian Football League/Australian Football League record for the most Grand Finals umpired. This match was his 11th, and 10th consecutive, Grand Final.
