The Miracle on Grass is the nickname given to the round 13, 2013 match between Australian Football League (AFL) clubs Brisbane Lions and Geelong. In the match, the Lions came back from a 52-point deficit during the third quarter to clinch a 5-point win with a goal after the siren.[1] The win was the eighth-biggest comeback in VFL/AFL history, and the largest in the history of the Brisbane Lions.[2] The game was given its name by commentator Anthony Hudson.[3]
