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

  • Quote

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
