Biography |
Simon Black (born April 3, 1979) is an Australian rules
footballer playing for the Brisbane Lions in the Australian
Football League.
Black is a midfielder with a reputation for hard work and
skill. He has the ability to get under the pack to retrieve
the ball as well as deliver it with precision to teammates
and rarely wastes a possession.
Born in Mount Isa, Queensland, he relocated to Western
Australia with his family at a very young age.
He was drafted by the Brisbane Lions in 1997 from the East
Fremantle Football Club, and he debuted in the first game of
the 1999 season and immediately showed his class.
Black has received numerous awards for his efforts,
including the 2002 Brownlow Medal, the 2003 Norm Smith Medal
and the 2001, 2002 and 2006 Merrett-Murray Medals awarded to
the champion player with the Brisbane Lions. His individual
awards are accompanied by the three premiership medallions
he received as a part of the Lions' hat-trick of
premierships in 2001-3. |
