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.

    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!!!!

    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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
