9Essendon IV drip gag backfires
Essendon attempted to take a punt at Brisbane during the 2001 Grand Final with a left-field taunt, but it didn't pay off.
During the season, the Lions attempted to get ahead of the game by using intravenous drips, a standard saline liquid to help prevent player injury and enhance post-game recovery, especially in the warmer climate of Queensland.
Reports indicated that players had a plastic shunt inserted in their arm before games to allow the drip to be immediately inserted at half-time. However, those reports were corrected by the club.
They'd used the drip throughout 2001, but were stopped by the AFL ahead of the finals campaign.
Interestingly, in the decider against Essendon, the Bombers donned black arm bands as a taunt.
The reigning premiers took the liberty of making fun of their challenger, but were found out when it mattered most.
"I do recall back in 2001 when Essendon played Brisbane (in the Grand Final). They actually wore black armbands around the area where you would have a drip inserted in your arm," Jonathan Brown said in 2015.
"Of course, the Lions had drips used on us throughout the season, certainly not in the finals.
"The drips contained salt water for the hot days up in Queensland, so hardly performance enhancing.
"When the whole team goes in with black armbands, where we were wearing band aids, talk about idiocy ... That was idiocy.
"To be focusing on that during the Grand Final, it certainly did them no favours on the day because we got the chocolates."
