MELBOURNE :Charlie Cameron and Hugh McCluggage booted four goals apiece as the Brisbane Lions roared to a 47-point win over the Geelong Cats in the Australian Football League Grand Final to secure back-to-back titles on Saturday.

Livewire forward Cameron lit the spark as the Lions broke the Cats' resistance with a three-goal burst late in the third quarter in front of a heaving crowd of 100,022 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Midfield dynamo McLuggage then booted three majors after the final break as Brisbane ran riot with nine fourth-quarter goals in the 18.14 (122) to 11.9 (75) triumph.

With a fifth championship in 25 years in the top flight of Australian Rules football, the Lions staked their claim as the most dominant AFL team of the modern era.
