About

The Brisbane Lions were formed by the post-1996 merger of the Brisbane Bears and Melbourne based club Fitzroy.

Reaching the finals in their first post-merger season, the club endured a small period of mediocre seasons in the late 90's followed by their infamous triple premiership winning run in seasons 2001-2003.

In 2003, the Lions became the first Grand Final participant in AFL history to have three Brownlow Medallists in its lineup, the third being 1996 winner Michael Voss. The club went on to win the 2003 premiership, defeating Collingwood in the 2003 AFL Grand Final 20.14.134 to 12.12.84, and become the first in the AFL to win three consecutive Premierships since Melbourne in 1957.
