SCARLETT and CHAPMAN

[Bobby McKenzie 2,383]

I thought Scarlett or Chapman deserved the Norm Smith medal ahead of Johnson. What a brilliant defender is Scarlett in the way he turns defence into attack time and time again. Chapman also is a wonderful player and never wastes the ball. I reckon we could win a premiership IF we could have these two in our team alongside Juddy. I am dreaming of course! Thank you Cats for removing our unwanted record of being the biggest ever loser in a GF.

Personally I thought Johnson would get it.

Thought he had an awesome day out, but so did several other Cats.

But there can only be one winner!

Johnson was just as deserving. Could've raffled it really. Geelong were as awesome as Port were pathetic.

Agree Nasher.

Geelong were truly awesome today. They were damaging with the ball and were electrifying when they pressured Port out of it.

Textbook Grand Final football.

So much for "Kick the Vics", they got the biggest kickin' ever!

The fact Scarlett didn't have an opponent may have held him back. My god Westhoff was terrible! He had a few mates but Scarlett just paid him no respect, felt sorry for the kid.

When a team gets flogged by 20 goals its a bit rich to single out the losing sides forward line. It was not good but geez the Port lack of midfield or defence deserves a greater bake.

If ever a team had the sting and the humilation to come back in 2008, its Port. A real test of the character that was exposed as imposters today.

Johnson's efficiency in his 23 touches was what won it for him. Far ahead in the afl.com.au rankings at the end of the game. Johnson did most of his work when the game was up for grabs.

And I am not being biased just because he is my best mate's cousin and we both had $50 on him at $22!!!!!! for the norm smith. I love Grand Final week!!!!

The Cornes and Burgoynes are the kings of cheap, useless possessions

Especially a guy who's played only 10 games.

Absolutely. I tipped Johnson at 3/4 time and a mate (Geelong supported) thought Chapman. Those two plus Scarlett probably the standouts in a very even team performance.

FWIW, I had Johnson ahead of the others because he was the dominant player on the ground in the first quarter and a half when the game was there to be won.

Chapman was the best early but Johnson was great the whole game and agree that his disposal was great all day.

I don't care what anyone says. Chapman is Geelong's best player....

He would have won the Norm Smith if he had played every minute of the game. He seems to be rested for 5 minutes every quarter.

Chapman is a gun and i just hope Jonsey turns out like him.

Great turn-around by Johnson though; scum-bag 12 months ago, now a GF hero
