A True Brisbane champion unfortunately cut down by a debilitating injury.

That's unfortunate for the Brisbane mob. Well, it's a sign that the Brisbane Lions have to look forward for new talent if they're going to be a powerhouse in the AFL like they were in 2001-2004. It's also a good opportunity for Jason Roe to continue good form in the backline...

14 seasons, 227 games, 3 premierships, 1 B&F = good innings

Should just get on the prohibited substances like Lynchy did.

I always used to worry when he pushed forward against us. Matthews would send him forward to change the matchups if the momentum was in Sydney's favour.

On almost every occassion he would do his job and add spark (and marks inside 50 + goals!).

He was a champion, sad to see him go but everything has to come to an end eventually.

Was the first of a few decent young Vic. players to be happy to go north and try and build something. For the same reason I begrudgingly pay the Scott brothers some respect too as that attitude paid off.

Robert Walls made mention of this on On The Couch last night. He rated Leppa in Brisbane's top 5 players in their short but proud history.
