Grand Final

Main articles: 2004 AFL Grand Final

This was the first Grand Final in the history of the AFL to be played by two non-Victorian teams; Port Adelaide's first; and the Brisbane Lions' fourth consecutive.
Following the match, Port Adelaide coach Mark Williams was quite animated, his celebrations including a speech on the dais, where he uttered the now-famous words of "Allan Scott - you were wrong!". This was in reference to a comment made by Scott (a sponsor of the Port Adelaide Football Club) earlier in the 2004 season, in which he said the club could not win a premiership under the coaching of Williams. Williams also choked himself with a tie, a reference to the "choking" tag that Port Adelaide had experienced when they lost in previous finals series despite dominating the home-and-away season.
