- The last half of the third and fourth quarters of the 2001 Australian Football League (AFL) Grand Final, which was played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Saturday 29th September, 2001, between the Brisbane Football Club (The Lions) and the Essendon Football Club (The Bombers). The 105th VFL/AFL Grand Final saw an official attendance of 91,482 spectators. The commentators for this Grand Final were Sandy Roberts, Bruce McAvaney, Jason Dunstall, Gerard Healy, Robert DiPierdomenico, and Matthew Campbell. Leigh Matthews was Brisbane's coach, and Kevin Sheedy was Essendon's coach.
The final score saw Brisbane defeating Essendon by 26 points, to hand Brisbane its first Premiership, the first of three in a row (2001-2003).
Recorded from the broadcast of the 2015 AFL Grand Final Marathon, October 3, 2015, on the Seven Network (HSV-7).
Vaxfacts: This was Brisbane's first AFL/VFL Premiership as a football club. Brisbane first entered the VFL as the Brisbane Bears in the 1987 season, a koala being their emblem (though not technically a bear!). For the 1997 season, the Brisbane Bears merged with the Fitzroy Lions (who had succumbed to financial and on-field pressures, and had no other option than to merge with another club or fold), to form the Brisbane Lions. The histories and many of the traditions, along with playing lists and other elements, were preserved in the merger, though the Premierships Fitzroy won in the VFL era aren't included in Brisbane's tally- Fitzroy having won 8 early in the history of the VFL.
Coaches Leigh Matthews and Kevin Sheedy faced off against each other in the 1990 AFL Grand Final- Matthews the coach of the victorious Collingwood, Sheedy Essendon. Matthews would again best Sheedy.
This is Essendon's last Grand Final appearance to date, having won the Premiership the previous year (2000).
This was the last time that Channel Seven would have the complete broadcast rights to the AFL, a position they had maintained since the beginning of VFL television broadcasting in the late 1950s/early 1960s (except for 1987, when the ABC had full rights). In 2002, Channels Nine and Ten, along with pay-TV provider Foxtel, would share the rights in a five year deal. From 2007, Seven would return to broadcasting AFL along with Channel Ten and Foxtel, and now shares the rights solely with Foxtel.
14:13 classic Brisbane from its premiership era, bash the ball forward at all costs and run in numbers to the forward line.
The Lions know how to wreck your day. The final qtr turned loopy Lloyd from super snipper to super sook in a mater of minutes. PRICELESS.
We needed to win this one...
One flag in a period of regular season dominance what a bunch of flogs Essendon are!
As good as brisbane were during 2001, we really could have won the grand final if a couple of things went our way (ie the weather and having a fit team) Also, letting brisbane kick a goal just b4 half-time was so critical. I believe if we had of gone into half-time with a 20pt lead and kicked the first of the 3rd, we would have won.
I remember Essendon players stating publicly that they wanted to create a dynasty the previous year……Bahhahaha!
Fit team or not, Essendon just weren't good enough. The final margin without looking at the amount of scoring shots by each team doesn't reveal the full picture. Brisbane had 11 more scoring shots than Essendon, and would've won by much more if they were more accurate infront of goal. If Essendon were so good, then a few injuries wouldn't affect them to that extent.
quite the celebration.
Just little turnovers and wrong decision making in the 3rd qtr cost us the game

Injuries and weather cost the bombers simple as that they were not a better team
tiffstahs & god played a conspiracy against the bombers to put em against a “mediocre” team that won 16 in a row and they still lost. Huge injustice😂
Great teams can play through injuries + weather and still win. Brisbane had to play in unfavourable conditions in the '02 GF (rain all day) that suited Collingwood, had players going down injured/playing through injuries all game, had the umps giving Collingwood a free ride and still won. Brisbane went into the '03 GF with their whole midfield under an injury cloud and pounded Collingwood to the tune of 50 points. Brisbane showed themselves to be a better team than Essendon and also exposed Essendon as a bunch of chokers who needed everything to be perfectly suited for them if they were to have any chance at winning the flag.
Essendon choked!
