2002, the year that the Brisbane Lions joined the ranks as one of the greatest teams of all time. If 2001 was sweet, take a look at this year's feast.
Mark of the Year - Jonathon Brown showing courage above and beyond the call of duty, running head on into a charging Hawthorn Pack.
Goal of the Year - Reigning Brownlow medallist and one man publicity machine, Jason Akermanis, dodging, weaving, breaking tackles, then nailing a running left foot goal from the boundary.
The Brownlow Medal - Simon Black, one of the Lions Fabulous Four midfield Tough and brave with the silkiest of skills.
And the Ultimate Prize - The AFL Premiership. On a wet Melbourne Saturday, they overcame injuries and a committed Collingwood side to prove just which is the best team in the land.
Skipper Michael Voss, standing on the victory dias summed up the feelings of all Lions supporters when he said with feeling - "You little beauty".
