Garner's 35 disposals is the most ever in an AFLW Grand Final, surpassing AFLW trailblazer Erin Phillips in the first ever decider.

Garner didn't only destroy the Lions offensively, but she was ferocious around the footy as well, racking up 13 tackles.

"She just gets on with it, she's one of the easiest players to coach that I've ever coached, and she's, just as I've alluded to before, a generational player," North Melbourne coach Darren Crocker said post-game.

"We'll look back on in 50 years time about this period of AFLW and Jas Garner will be right at the very, very top of the tree as just one of the best players in the AFLW's infancy. And she just continues to keep getting better.

"I just love her as a player, but also, more importantly, I love her as a person."

The Lions sent the versatile Jade Ellenger to Garner at the opening centre bounce, but not even she could put the clamps on the star Roo.

"Really, really good player. For all the things that she's probably deserved over her career, it's nice that she's got this one. I think that's fitting, to be honest." Brisbane coach Craig Starcevich said after the game.
