Brisbane Lions vs West Coast Eagles - Upset of the Year 2007

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.

How is the upset of the year???

[browndog1980]

@UltimateSqueakyToy Betting odds. The Lions were the team who won with the longest odds. Bookies had them at 9.50.

They were on a massive losing streak and the Eagles were dominating.

That's why.

har ldly the upset of the year. Brisbane was still one of the better teams

[browndog1980]

@gingmo1 Actually it WAS the upset of the year. Brisbane hadn't won for 7 weeks and the bookies had them at 9.50 for the win. As for being one of the "better teams" at the time, we had finished 13th the year before... So yeah.

It was the upset of the year.

Upset in the sporting sense that a rank outsider defeated a much more fancied team.
