2002
On the improve again, the club made its first 2nd Division Grand Final with both the Seniors and Reserves having a dominant year. Especially the Seniors, winning the last seven games by big margins then going on to beat Mulgrave in the Second Semi-final by 12 goals. Again going into a Grand Final as favourite, disappointment would be the emotion of the day, both teams succumbing to perhaps the experience of Blackburn. There was some consolation when Knox was awarded the Champion Club for the second time after winning the same award in 2000 in Third Division.
