* Brisbane Lions coach Leigh Matthews invokes the fighting spirit of Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer prior to the Lions' clash with reigning premiers, Essendon.

* The Lions go on to record the first victory of an incredible 20-game winning streak - an unbeaten run which would include the 2001 AFL Grand Final! (Round 10 2001 to Round 4 2002).

* Round 10 - Saturday June 2, 2001 at the Gabba.

  • what dvd is that off /

  • @woody123986 This clip was taken from the VHS version of "Lion Kings", the Brisbane Lions 2001 highlights package. Strangely the Leigh Matthews "If it bleeds...." quote was not included on the DVD version.

  • You're one year out.

    2000 was the year that Essendon lost only one game against the Dogs in round 21.

  • Great video mate.

    These are the words that launched an entire footballing dynasty.

  • im a bombers bloke myself but credit to where it;s due

    Brisbane 2001-2004 was one off the great AFL/VFL teams ever

  • @awesomerebel88

    ten shots to 5 in the first term in brisbanes favour, now imagine the lions converted properly in the first term, they should have been another 3 goals up thus letting essendon back in the game in the second term, but they were so classy that it didnt matter, they were fit and nstrong enough to continue on in the third term, to have 33 shots at goal suggests they were unlucky to not have kicked 20 goals and crush the dons.

  • @astra686

    they wre innaccurate in the first half, 5. 10 to 8. 6 told the tale, the lions should have been in front, they led at quarter time and three quarter time.

    essendon were lucky to have been in the game at quarter time with the lions been 3 goals 7 behinds,

    thats how good they were

  • i just brought thre brisbane lions victory pack dvd carnt wait to get it delivered

  • god, how i love the lions!

  • Lynchy kept falling over haha.

  • IM an Essendon fan but i admit i thought we cuda beat Brisbane in 2001 grand final and were going to but after half time they flogged us much fitter stronger n they were very underated then that year and they won the next 3 grand finals n cuda won a 4th. They won 16 games in a row to claim the flag in 2001 impressive i loved it when they beat collingwood twice in a row :) Brisbne r mi second favourite team. They were far better than essendon of 99-01 they were good from 2000-2004
