From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Season 2001 was the first season of dominance by the non-Victorian teams. The Brisbane Lions won the first of their historic three successive premierships, becoming the first team north of the Murray River to win a premiership, and non-Victorian team to win more than two on the trot. Essendon's exceptional 2000 was backed up by a strong start to the new season, before injuries took their toll, the changing of the guard between the two dominant teams of 1999-2001 taking place in a famed clash at the Gabba in round 10, the Lions overhauling Kevin Sheedy's men by 28 points. It was the first of the Lions record 19 victories in succession. Port Adelaide, Hawthorn and Richmond all made significant inroads in 2001, the Hawks falling short by a mere nine points against Essendon in the Preliminary Final, Trent Croad's shot for goal in the dying minutes looked destined to put the Hawks into the decider, before it swung into the goalpost. Paul Barnard sealed the win, albeit an unconvincing one, with several Bombers heading into the Grand Final seven days later under injury clouds, including the skipper Hird, the dangerous Mark Mercuri and workhorse Justin Blumfield. After a closely contested first half, Brisbane streaked away in the third term to record a 26 point victory in the Grand Final, sparking jubilation from fans of Fitzroy and Brisbane Bears, who were finally gelled together in arguably the spiritual completition of the 1996 merger. Nuggetty rover Shaun Hart was awarded the Norm Smith Medal, Lion maverick Jason Akermanis took home the Brownlow Medal, whilst Lloyd was again the John Coleman Medallist, once more notching up his ton in the Qualifying Final, on this occasion against Richmond at the MCG. The season was also notable as it was the 45th and final season of the television broadcast rights remaining in the hands of Channel Seven, Channels 9, 10 and pay-TV operator Foxtel granted the rights for 2002-2006.
