Brisbane Lions | R10 2001 vs Essendon - "If it bleeds, we can kill it."

20 years ago today: June 2, 2001 - first of what resulted in 16 straight wins on way to 2001 flag. Against the defending premiers, no less. Widely agreed that the dynasty was born on this particular Saturday evening. Leigh's famous line highlighted by Ch7 in pregame. Final score 15.12.102 to 10.14.74 (Lions also beat reigning premiers 102-74 in R10 of this year, too).
