Conor McKenna won another AFL title with the Brisbane Lions yesterday, after they defeated Freemantle, 96-89.
It was their third title in a row, and the Tyrone man - who also won an All-Ireland SFC title in 2021 - had a big part to play, scoring a well-taken goal when his team were behind in the second quarter.
However, the most memorable scenes for McKenna and his family came after the game.
Family members were not permitted onto the pitch, which led McKenna's father to take matters into his own hands by jumping onto the pitch.
Stewards were not having any of his behaviour and chased him down before tackling him to the ground.
Thankfully, his son was able to convince them to let him stay on the field and celebrate.
