Simon Black

1998-1999 Rising Star

• Black was impressive during the pre-season and earned his senior debut in Round 1 against the Bulldogs at the Gabba.

• He played nine senior matches and averaged over 12 disposals during his debut season and took out the Club’s Best First Year Player award.

• Black consolidated himself as an automatic senior selection and built a reputation for winning the ball in contested situations.

• He collected 20 possessions and kicked two goals against Geelong in Round 9 which earned him an AFL Rising Star Nomination. He ultimately finished third in the award behind Sydney’s Adam Goodes and Adelaide’s Brett Burton.

• He played a remarkable 22 matches and averaged close to 19 disposals.

• The West Australian claimed the Attitude Barometer award (Full Ground) and won the Lions Rookie of the Year award for the second consecutive season after club officials changed the selection criteria to fall in line with the AFL’s Rising Star award.

• His breakthrough season ended on a sour note when he suffered a fractured eye socket five minutes into the Preliminary Final loss to North Melbourne at the MCG.

• He was awarded nine votes in the Brownlow Medal â€" more than highly fancied team-mates Michael Voss and Jason Akermanis.
[edit] 2000 Break-through Year

• Black continued his evolution into an elite midfielder by finishing equal seventh in the Club Champion voting despite missing four matches with a broken hand.

• He averaging 23.9 disposals, led the competition in centre clearances on a per game basis and finished second behind Geelong’s Garry Hocking in hard-ball gets.
[edit] 2001 Golden Era

• Black played every match from the start of the pre-season competition through to the Grand Final, leading the AFL in tackles and averaging a team-high 24.6 possessions.

• He was an integral member of the Lions’ breakthrough premiership win, was joint Club Champion with Captain Michael Voss and was named as the starting ruck-rover in the All-Australian team.

• He finished 5th in the AFLPA's Most Valuable Player voting behind Andrew McLeod, Michael Voss, Ben Cousins and Brett Ratten.

• Black also won a $39,000 car as the Herald Sun Player of the Year and figured in the top 10 in countless other media awards.

• He was expected to poll many more than his 12 votes in the Brownlow Medal after entering the count as one of the top fancies with the bookies.

• He represented Australia for the first and only time during the off-season as part of the International Rules Series against Ireland.
[edit] 2002 Brownlow Medalist

• Black established himself among the true champions of the game by helping lead his team to its second consecutive premiership in his 100th AFL match.

• He collected 22 possessions in the Grand Final against Collingwood despite receiving a heavy tag from Scott Burns.

• He collected a whopping 583 possessions from 25 games and earned All-Australian selection for the second consecutive season.

• Comparisons between him and dual Brownlow Medallist Greg Williams began to surface because of his outstanding peripheral vision and ability to get the contested ball.

• He won the game’s most coveted individual honour â€" the Brownlow Medal â€" when he polled 25 votes to beat Port Adelaide’s Josh Francou (21) and skipper Michael Voss (17).

• Black, Voss and Jason Akermanis made more history on Grand Final day by becoming the first trio of awarded Brownlow Medallists to play in a premiership team together.

• He was awarded his second Merrett-Murray Medal â€" making him only the sixth player ever to win back-to-back best and fairest awards in back-to-back premiership years. He was also the sixth man in the history of the VFL/AFL to win the Brownlow and Club Champion award in a premiership year.
[edit] 2003 Norm Smith Medalist

• Black continued his sublime football career by averaging over 24 disposals in a year the Lions made history by winning their third consecutive premiership.

• He finished just one vote behind Michael Voss in the Club Champion award and was considered unlucky not to have been selected in the AFL All-Australian team.

• He was outstanding throughout the 2003 Finals Series and finished the season with one of the great Grand Final performances in recent history. Collingwood simply had no answer Black who collected a career-best 39 possessions â€" the most by any player in a Grand Final â€" and was duly rewarded with the Norm Smith Medal.

• With two Club Champion awards, a Brownlow Medal and Norm Smith Medal among his trophy collection, Black had the distinction of being one of the most decorated players in the game by the ripe old age of 24
[edit] 2004 End of an era

• Black claimed his third All-Australian honours following another outstanding season which saw him play every match and averaged 23.6 possessions.

• So highly was the Brownlow Medallist rated, that Port Adelaide’s 2004 pre-Grand Final planning was spent on trying to shut him down with specialist tagger Kane Cornes.

• Black was booked for striking during the Grand Final loss and, despite having never been reported before throughout his career, was subsequently suspended for three matches. The suspension broke a remarkable sequence of 107 consecutive matches dating back to 2000.

• He finished third overall in the Club Champion award â€" his fourth consecutive ‘podium’ finish.
[edit] 2005 Injury Plagued

• Black’s season started three games late due to his suspension following an incident in the 2004 Grand Final but the interruption did nothing to curb his influence in his first game back â€" collecting 26 possessions against Hawthorn in Round 4.

• He remained at his consistent best and was a driving force behind the team’s mid-season turnaround which saw the Lions win five straight matches and seem a legitimate finals contender.

• However, a corked calf restricted him in the latter stages of the season as the Lions missed finals for only the second time since Black arrived in 1998.
[edit] 2006 Back to his best

• Having overcome his injuries which hampered much of 2005, Black played every match and averaged 24 disposals per game.

• He exuded greater leadership qualities when faced with playing in the midfield without the likes of Michael Voss, Jason Akermanis and Nigel Lappin who were absent at times throughout the season.

• He made 30 more clearances, gathered 100 more loose-ball gets and had twice as many hard-ball gets over the season than any of his team-mates. He laid the most tackles at the Club as well.

• It came as no surprise that Black won his third Merrett-Murray Medal among other awards at the Club Champion dinner.
[edit] 2007

• Black’s leadership qualities were formalised at the beginning of 2007 when he was named one of the four Lions Co-Captains following the retirement of skipper Michael Voss.

• He collected an equal career-high 39 disposals against Hawthorn in the opening round of the season and firmed considerably for the Brownlow Medal after the first dozen games.

• He was sublime in his 200th AFL match and earned three Brownlow votes for his performance despite the fact that his team were comfortably defeated by Collingwood at the Gabba.

• He played 21 of a possible 22 matches, averaged over 22 disposals per game, finished equal fifth in the Club’s Best & Fairest and took home the Lions’ Best Midfielder award.

• Black was also afforded the honour of being inducted as a Life Member of the Club having completed ten sensational seasons.

• He continued to attract the attention of the umpires and finished equal Runner-up in the Brownlow Medal behind Geelong’s Jimmy Bartel.
[edit] 2008

• Black’s 11th season was arguably one of his finest â€" which seems absurd considering his previous decade of outstanding performances.

• He averaged a career-best 25.7 disposals per game and only collected fewer than 20 touches only twice in his 21 matches.

• After a blistering start to the season which saw him firm in Brownlow Medal betting, Black missed the team’s Round 7 clash with Geelong at Skilled Stadium due to a groin complaint. The injury also meant he was unable to represent the ‘Dream Team’ in the AFL’s Hall of Fame Tribute match the following week at the MCG.

• A 36 disposal performance against Melbourne during the ANZAC Round at the Gabba earned him the Club’s Sands of Gallipoli Medal for best afield â€" one of the few accolades that he had not previously received.

• He led the Club in contested possessions, hard ball gets, clearances and handballs despite struggling for much of the season with a groin injury.

• For the second consecutive season, Black finished Runner-up in the Brownlow Medal â€" only one vote shy of Western Bulldog midfielder Adam Cooney.

• He finished Runner-up in a tight race for the Club’s Best and Fairest award behind fellow Co-Captain Jonathan Brown â€" yet took home the Courier Mail Player of the Year award and the Club’s Best Midfielder award.

• When team-mate Jonathan Brown was chosen as sole Captain at the end of 2008, Black was selected as one of four Club Vice-Captains alongside Luke Power, Jed Adcock and Daniel Merrett.
[edit] 2010

Black had another consistent season in 2010, finishing second in Brisbane's Best and Fairest for the fourth time, having also won three, and bringing his career tally of top ten finishes in the Lion's Best and Fairest to eight.[4]

Black, along with Jonathan Brown and Luke Power, are the only three remaining players from Brisbane's triple-premiership winning sides still playing in the AFL today, more than ten years since the first premiership. In addition, current coach Michael Voss is still associated with the club today.

By the way how does the last round go? Do we select three in a row or is it still a draft?

[c4v3m4n]

Nice pick BP. Always loved Lloyd's nickname.

My understanding of the last round is that we take it in turns (like we have been) to select three players from any era to be emergencies.

That's what I thought too but probably should wait until Sid confirms it.

Yep, this is the way it will work. I should say though, the players you pick don't have to be emergencies. :)
I can't believe Matera slipped. I just assumed he was picked. One of the biggest gets of the draft there I'd say C4 :o

Now, my pick will be up shortly.

[AFEV]

well her ewe go...

Yay for Richo!!

So, how is the order going to work for the final pool sid?

[AFEV]

Yay for Richo!!

So, how is the order going to work for the final pool sid?

Basically it will be treated as though it's the 12th era, with the only difference being that there will be 3 rounds and no era restrictions.
This means the BP will have the first selection as he would if we had another era to draft, and I will be last.
So the order will be -

BratPack, c4v3m4n, ossie85, DazBurg, Boomz, Sid, Sid, Boomz, DazBurg, ossie85, c4v3m4n, BratPack, BratPack, c4v3m4n, ossie85, DazBurg, Boomz, Sid

[BratPack]

Well that's fine then. I think I need to open things off with another key defender. Fitzmaurice is good no doubt. But I think I can do better
