Norm Smith Medal

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?.

    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.

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

    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.

    Viney for sure.

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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

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

  • Quote

    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.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.
