Lions Premiership Player - 2001-03

Fitzroy Club Champion - 1996

He could have been a Brisbane player once, twice and three times before he was... but when he finally was Martin Pike was a star. A triple premiership star in 2001-02-03.

 

Hand-picked by coach Leigh Matthews for his versatility, the former Melbourne, Fitzroy and North Melbourne utility landed in Brisbane in 2001 and in four years played 97 of a possible 101 games … 13 finals, four grand finals and three premierships… one of the best recruits in club history.

 

After an earlier flag at North he finished with four – only 21 players have more.

 

Just as the coach wanted, he played everywhere – tall or small – always with great effect. The original ‘Mr Fix-It’. He was uncompromising and provided an extra hard edge to a side that was just slipping into top gear when he arrived. His teammates loved him.

 

He played 27 finals in his 247 games overall - only 18 players have played more.
