Norm Smith Medal

[Piethagoras' Theorem]

One of Naicos, JDG and Cox.

I hope Cox wins it: that means he marks everything and kicks 8 goals.

I think if either of those 3 get the Norm Smith, the game is well and truly won.

I could see someone like Neale getting it but his team still losing

If by chance we can claim glory this Saturday against the Lions, who would be your preferred Norm Smith Medalist? ...

Frampton.

Would make the selection decision easier for everyone to accept.

As a reminder to all media, the Norm Smith Medal cannot be shared between two players.

In the event of a tie, the tie is broken as follows:

JDG for me but expecting Ginni to kick a few goals.

What nobody expected:

Jack Crisp played the game of his life and won the 2023 Norm Smith medal!

Josh Daicos

lock it in eddie

He’s going to have to lift. It’s been mostly unspoken (maybe it’s just me) but I don’t think Josh has been the same player late in the season as he was earlier. Maybe he’s carrying something.

yeah exactly.... hes Due!
plus they have 2 kids on their wings.... his time is now.

Outstanding recruiting to pick up the Norm Smith Medallist.

thanks ginnie!

i feel bne defenders had to pay ginnie more attention than they usually do with Pat and mcreery playing defensive forwards which allowed Bobby to get off the leash!

what a story!

In 2018, the WCE tagged Sidebottom and Pendlebury out of the game.

On Saturday, Dunkley will tag De Goey leaving Pendlebury and Sidebottom (relatively) untagged.

I think that Sidebottom will relish the freedom and bring home the Norm Smith Medal and a Premiership.

The important award will be 23 Premiership medals to the winning team.

Well you nailed that observation

Coleman lucky to hang on and get 2nd in the medal. You could throw a blanket over:

* Jack Crisp
* Nick Daicos
* Tom Mitchell

for our 2nd best. Followed by Howe, Pendles and Steele.

Coleman hardly touched it in the second half ( 4 touches I think) went to water when the heat in the kitchen was turned up.

kept throwing his head back every time he was perfectly tackled but still got one paid to him against Lippa in our fwd pocket even though the tackle wasn’t high.

Very lucky to poll as high as he did as he didn’t really have any influence on the game in my opinion.

Just shows voters are more inclined to look at stats when voting.

To probably get a truer vote look at Luke Shueys votes he knows who had a more influence on the game!

Hard agree! Coleman ran out of gas and went missing when it mattered. Got completely shut down. Bobby totally deserved winner but geez, Pendles was so good in that last qtr. I’d honestly award it to one qtr of brilliant footy that won the game than 30+ possessions over four qtrs. Shuey’s votes were accurate, and he looked at players who played brilliant footy when it really mattered rather than stats. I’d even give De Goey a chunk of votes for overcoming Dunkley and getting involved in eight goal assists I think it was. Titch is another who deserved high votes.
