The '''2002 AFL Grand Final''' was an [[Australian rules football]] game contested between the [[Brisbane Lions]] and the [[Collingwood Football Club]], held at the [[Melbourne Cricket Ground]] in [[Melbourne]] on 28 September 2002. It was the 106th annual [[AFL Grand Final|grand final]] of the [[Australian Football League]] (formerly the Victorian Football League),<ref>In 1897 and 1924 there were no grand finals and instead the premier was decided by a finals play-off. In 1948 and 1977 there were grand final replays after initial draws.</ref> staged to determine the [[List of AFL premiers|premiers]] for the [[2002 AFL season]]. The match, attended by 91,817 spectators, was won by the Brisbane Lions by a margin of 9 points, marking the club's second consecutive premiership victory, as well as its second overall since being established in 1997.

==Background==
The Lions finished second on the [[Australian Football League|AFL]] ladder with a 17–5 record, one game behind [[Port Adelaide Football Club|Port Adelaide]], and overcoming [[Adelaide Football Club|Adelaide]] and Port Adelaide in their early finals. It was the club's second consecutive grand final, having defeated {{AFL Ess}} in the [[2001 AFL Grand Final|2001 Grand Final]].

Collingwood had reached the finals for the first time since 1994, and found its way into its first premiership decider since the [[1990 AFL Grand Final|1990 Grand Final]]. They finished fourth on the ladder with a 13–9 record, and not much was expected of them in the final month of the year. However, the Magpies upset minor premiers Port Adelaide by 13 points in a dramatic Qualifying Final at [[AAMI Stadium]], earning a week's rest before beating Adelaide 13.13 (91) to 9.9 (63) in the preliminary final at the [[Melbourne Cricket Ground]].

[[Jason Cloke]] from Collingwood was suspended during the week after being charged for striking Tyson Edwards in the nose during their preliminary final victory against Adelaide. This controversy dominated headlines during the week in the buildup to the grand final. Also in the week leading up to the grand final, Brisbane's [[Simon Black]] was awarded the [[Brownlow Medal]].

==Match summary==
In a tight and overall enthralling exhibition of Australian rules football, Brisbane withstood a brave challenge from Collingwood to win the 2002 AFL Grand Final by nine points, taking out their second successive flag. It was the first time since 1989 that the grand final was decided by less than four goals, with grand finals having often been one-sided affairs throughout the 1990s.

===First quarter===

The game was played in cold conditions with rain off-and-on throughout. In a tight, low-scoring first quarter, neither team could manage a goal until very late, Collingwood's [[Anthony Rocca]] kicking the first goal in the 27th minute. The quarter time score of 1.4 (10) vs 0.4 (4) was the lowest-scoring quarter in a grand final since 1960, and ended Brisbane's [[VFL/AFL]] record streak of 253 consecutive quarters in which it scored at least one goal.

===Second quarter===

Brisbane finally kicked its first goal in the 5th minute of the second quarter, [[Shaun Hart]] converting from general play in the forward pocket. Throughout the second quarter, Brisbane gained control of general play, but repeatedly failed to convert this advantage on the scoreboard. Collingwood regained the lead with a goal from a set shot and 50m penalty to [[Josh Fraser]] in the 14th minute, then extended it with another to Rocca from a down-field free kick in the 18th minute. [[Simon Black]] kicked Brisbane's second goal in the 22nd minute, and [[Tarkyn Lockyer]] responded with a set shot goal in the 27th minute. By the 28th minute of the quarter, the score was Collingwood 4.4 (28) leading Brisbane 2.12 (24), the Lions having kicked 2.8 for the quarter from its repeated forward entries, although had not missed many easy shots, with Collingwood's defenders keeping the Lions to hurried or wide-angle shots. But, two late goals – to [[Craig McRae]] in the 29th minute from a free kick with advantage at full forward, then [[Alastair Lynch]] from a 20m set shot – Brisbane took an eight point lead into half time. Overall in the second quarter, Brisbane had 24 inside-50s for 4.8 (32), and Collingwood had only eight for 3.0 (18).

===Third quarter===

After Brisbane's ground dominance in the second quarter, the third quarter was much more evenly contested, and early goals to Fraser for Collingwood (2nd minute), Lynch for Brisbane (4th minute) and Rocca (5th minute) brought the margin back within a goal. Collingwood regained the lead in the 12th minute when [[Nathan Buckley]] kicked his first goal. No goals were kicked over the next ten minutes, until Lynch regained the lead for Brisbane in the 22nd minute. Rocca then kicked his fourth goal to regain the lead in the 25th minute. As in the second quarter, Brisbane finished with two quick late goals – [[Jonathan Brown (Australian footballer)|Jonathan Brown]] kicking his first goal in the 30th minute, then [[Michael Voss]] one minute later. Collingwood was the more wasteful in front of goal in the third quarter, kicking 4.6 (30) to Brisbane's 4.2 (26), and at three-quarter time, Brisbane led 8.14 (62) to 8.10 (58).

===Fourth quarter===

A tight opening to the final quarter saw no score until the eighth minute, when Rocca famously lined up for his fifth goal from a 50m set shot near the boundary line. Rocca thought he had kicked a goal and began to celebrate, but the goal umpire ruled it a behind; Rocca was known for his long kicking, and the ball crossed the goal line above the height of the posts making it a difficult score to judge, but in its post match review, the AFL confirmed the goal umpire's decision.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/rocca-shot-not-a-goal-gieschen-20021001-gdun9d.html|title=Rocca shot not a goal: Gieschen|date=1 October 2002|access-date=22 October 2020|newspaper=The Age|publication-place=Melbourne, VIC}}</ref> Three minutes later, Josh Fraser marked with the flight of the ball in the goal square, and kicked his third goal to put Collingwood ahead by three points. Another chance to score for Collingwood off the ensuing centre clearance was rushed through for a behind, in what was Collingwood's last score of the game, as heavy rain began to fall.

In the 14th minute, a kick to a pack at full-forward ended with a free kick to Alastair Lynch, who kicked his fourth goal and put Brisbane back in front by two points. Both teams had opportunities over the next ten minutes, and a behind by [[Jason Akermanis]] in the 19th minute extended the lead to three points. Then, in the 24th minute with just under five minutes of game time remaining, Akermanis roved the front of a marking contest at full forward and kicked a goal to put Brisbane nine points ahead. There was no further score, and Brisbane won by the nine point margin.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://afltables.com/afl/stats/games/2002/041920020928.html|title=Brisbane Lions v Collingwood|access-date=22 October 2020|publisher=AFL Tables}}</ref>

===Norm Smith Medal===
[[Nathan Buckley]] of the Magpies was awarded the [[Norm Smith Medal]] as the best player afield, despite the fact that he finished on the losing side. It was the third time a player had won the Norm Smith Medal without being on the winning premiership team. Out of respect for his teammates, Buckley took the medal off as he returned from the dais. Buckley polled 12 votes for the medal, and teammate Anthony Rocca finished second with 8 votes; [[Nigel Lappin]] was the highest-placing Lion with 5 votes, Voss polled 4 and Simon Black 1.<ref name="norm">{{cite news|url=https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/afl-to-delay-medal-vote-until-siren-20021001-gdun9h.html|title=AFL to delay medal vote until siren|date=1 October 2002|access-date=22 October 2020|newspaper=The Age|publication-place=Melbourne, VIC}}</ref>

To meet the timeline for compiling the votes, the panellists were asked to lodge their votes during the latter part of the final quarter, with some doing so as early as halfway through the quarter. Three of the five panellists famously claimed in the days after the match that they would have awarded more votes to Michael Voss had they voted after the final siren, as he had been pivotal in the dying minutes of the game – although it was never determined whether or not these extra votes would have been enough to make up the eight vote gap to Buckley. Nevertheless, practices were changed to ensure votes were not cast until after the final siren from 2003 onwards.<ref name="norm" />
