Norm Smith memories: Three-time flag Lion reflects on the '01 GF
SEN • October 5th, 2025 4:38 pm
Former Brisbane midfielder/forward Shaun Hart is this week’s guest on This Is Your Journey – thanks to Tobin Brothers.
Hart appeared 273 times for Brisbane from 1990 to 2004, helping the club emerge from their days as the Bears before winning three flags as a Lion late in his career.
While he had some big days across his career, none were better than Grand Final Day in 2001.
Hart played such a big role when the Lions knocked off the Bombers by 26 points that he was awarded the Norm Smith Medal after racking up 23 disposals, four clearances and five inside 50s, leading allcomers as the highest possession winner.
Hart was awarded nine votes as best afield, ahead of Nigel Lappin (5) and Jonathan Brown (3).
The small midfielder discussed his big day at the MCG and much more.
Listen Hart’s full episode with Sam Edmund below.
