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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
