Who was your Norm Smith medallist?

[Kreuuuzeurns]

If the Crows pulled their fingers out, Bryce Gibbs.

 

[HighBudget]

In the first quarter, the Tiges 2nd goal.

Shit must of forgot since it was early in the game, he should've won it IMO

 

[Ok Boomer]

Houli, but Martin was in my top 3.

 

[Hoops]

Anyone know the votes?

 

[JayJ20]

Houli was mine

 

[carlton]

Dusty easy.

 

[SSSSSS]

Rance IMO but the BOG for the game was Hardwick. Completely outcoached and beat Adelaide at the selection table.

 

[Grandaddy J]

Rance. When the game was on the line for Richmond in the 1st and early on in the 2nd he was the guy killing the contest or marking on the last line of defence.

Houli would've had it for mine if not for a few too many fumbles.

 

[Chaisa]

Anyone know the votes?

 

[kickazz]

Houli

 

[SickQwon]

Thought Dustin Martin was the obvious choice.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

3 Houli
2 Prestia
1 Rance

 

[PunkyHawkster]

Richos tears

No one stiff, might as well be Dusty. A forgettable Norm Smith, but he looked a cut above, sent Matera shivers down the opposition's spine whenever he went near it. The Norm Smith will be forgotten quickly, but the Brownlow-Norm Smith double is worth it.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Houli. He was their best when the opposition was on top in the first quarter, and then maintained it for the rest of the game.

 

[ManOfClay]

Cotchin would have won me a lot more money


Still up on the day. Yea tiges

 

[Mal12]

should've been rance - huge impact in the first half when the game on the line

 

[Jatz]

He would never have got it because of the size of the result but I though Matt Crouch was enormous today. Essentially did it by himself as well for large parts of it.

 

[Jables]

Honestly I think that's why he won it, Houli was more influential when the game was to be won, but he's a defender without the Hodge or Lake reputation (which IMO is why people are saying Rance was great early on, he did but Vlastuin did a lot of unheralded work too), the trifecta makes a great story. But very few Norm Smiths are forgotten quickly. In the end he's not undeserving.

 

[AG]

Rance, Houli or Martin. There wasn't a clear BOG and Martin is deserving.

Surprised people are questioning him winning the medal.

 

[GreekLunatic]

Houli

 

[noffle]

Houli until he missed those two shots on goal and Dusty kicked his.

 

[Roquay]

Thought it was Houli not easy but ahead of the rest comfortably. Martin got more votes because it was a good story. Rance was helped out by the Crows woeful delivery inside 50.

 

[living_in_syd]

Surprised lambo didnt get a vote

Houli was good, but I think there were several good players worthy of best afield as you indicate. Agreed, worthy of the Norm Smith on the day, but in the realm of Norm Smiths of years past, it's already one of the most rapidly forgotten for mine. Certainly a champion team performance. Even Nic Fosdike or LRT in 2005 would have taken this in a canter.
