Collingwood v Brisbane: Where every player from the 2003 AFL Grand final is 20 years on

Many of the big names remain in footy – but a few famous faces from the 2003 grand final have surprisingly landed elsewhere. See what every Pie, Lion is doing now.

Collingwood v Brisbane: Where are they now?

History written.

A dynasty cemented.

Before Clarko’s Hawks there was Lethal’s Lions, who took the AFL by the throat in a stunning three-season stretch from 2001-03 that produced three premierships and put Queensland footy on the map.

In any other era or season, Nathan Buckley’s Magpies might have lifted the trophy in 2003. But this Brisbane side, led by one of the greatest coaches of all time, was simply ‘built different’.

Twenty years on it’s no surprise that many of these modern greats remain entwined in footy, be it through coaching or the media.

But the whereabouts of some of their teammates may surprise you.
