Norm Smith Medal

[deebug 1,754]

Who do you think will get to take home the great Norm Smith Medal?

[deanox 10,025]

Oliver is my favourite. He is a big game, pressure player. If it is a tough contest he usually rises to the top and is a big part of us getting to the line.

But if the heat goes out of it early, then it will be one of the more outside players. Petracca an obvious choice, Brown not an outside chance if he gets on the end of a few he could finish with 5.

Smokey for May or Lever. They'll probably deserve it. But as key defenders it would need to be a close game in which they dominate in the last quarter to get the nod I reckon.

 

Edit: Surely Gawn couldn't play like that 2 games in a row?.

Salem is my smokey

[Jaded No More 68,974]

I hope it’s Oliver because if he wins it I think we win it too. 
Trac obviously a big chance if he kicks a few goals. 
 

On the Dogs end I would go McRae or Bont. 

[In Harmes Way 7,826]

If BBB kicks 9 as I'm hoping, then I reckon he's a shot.

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,297]

I think Jack Viney might play his greatest ever game and earn the Norm Smith.

He has had 2 awesome finals and looks as fit as he ever has. He is ready to explode.

I've been thinking the same about Oliver. If it is close he will just go to another level.

If we win by a bit Petracca or even Kozzie could be a bit more flashy.

If we lose Bont. Viney will smash Libba.

Yep. Viney is my tip. Shut down Libba, set the standard for his teammates.  

It is a shame that no Melbourne player has won the award named after our own great. Let's all hope it changes. 

[Little Richard 6,265]

Viney for sure.

Petracca and Gawn a hot second and third in my tips. Clarrie up there too of course.

[BigFez 1,462]

Viney, Oliver or Petracca if we win.

Smith, Naughton or Bont if we lose.

[daisycutter 29,797]

i hope it's petracca coz i know clarry will play a blinder.......coz he always does

so if petracca plays better and clarry has a blinder we have to win

[sydneydee 697]

I’m tipping Viney will win it regardless if we win or lose.  

[Supreme_Demon 3,903]

Hold your horses!

Let's hope the Demons win the Grand Final first!

As for possible Norm Smith medalists take your pick from Clayton Oliver, Christian Petracca, Max Gawn, Jack Viney or Jake Lever.

[Satan 2,907]

Lets win the game and worry about norm smith later

[spirit of norm smith 16,596]

Petraccccca.  Hope he has 30+ possessions, kicks 4 goals and rips the game apart for the Dees. 

[deebug 1,754]

Viney for me

smokey May

It would be great to finally have a player win from the team that Norm is so strongly associated with. Wish his son/grandson presented it. Norm’s widow, Marj presented the first one to Wayne Harmes (her nephew) but never did another ones (pretty sure Barassi did it in 1980, Peter Smith did it in 1981, no idea who did it after that.)

That could just as easily be Luke Jackson. 

[BDA 22,956]

Maxy is a big chance. The man in on a mission and completely at ease with himself and the world since slotting that after the siren goal v Geelong

[adonski 12,610]

Gawn. Has Stef Martin up against him, who will be in the sub vest half way through the game.

[dee-tox 4,835]

Salem for me. 

With that said the Dogs seem not to tag in the midfield so Oliver, Petracca  Gawn and Viney have to be a chance if we win.
