I thought Charlie Cameron would of got some votes? When the game was tight and goals were hard to come by....kicking 4 goals to break the game open....seems strange he didnt get a vote

Was massive in the first half. I would say his second half he didn't join the party enough, but he certainly deserved more.

That person gave Bailey 0 so he is the least accurate voter in my opinion.
Andrew McLeod's vote seems pretty spot on

Will Ashcroft was clear Best-on-ground for me at least they got that right, through the whole game he was a beast getting it out jeez he is a good handballer, maybe one of the best I've seen.
Cameron should have got at least 1 vote imo, I thought he was better than Bailey tbh.

Bailey was clearly best on ground. I don't care about missed shots. 3.6 and 23 touches in insane for a guy primarily playing midfield.
Ashcroft a clear second best, and you can throw a blanket over a few for 3rd.

If he kicked 5.4 at least he would have got it. Blew it in the 1st half

Id say Hodge got it closest. McCluggage was huge despite the heavy tag.

Fair enough. I'd say he was the worst vote out of the 5. Great we can all have our opinions

I also think if Geelong won, Bailey being 0.4 at1/4 time would have been a huge part of it.
Did not really think he was top 3 or 4.
Matt Rowell was stiff

When the game was tight for and a bit quarters and goals were scared....Charlie Cameron kicked 4 goals...for him not to get a single vote from the Norm Smith medal judges is disappointing. It cant always be about players racking up possessions. Cameron provided impact when game was in balance.

Not actually Brad Fisher
Eye test had W. Ashcroft as best on for me. He was the one that kept the Lions ticking over when Geelong had their periods of dominance early and got it going their way at the coalface. Similar to his performance against the Swans last year actually.
Couldn’t have won the medal but I thought Neale was the most influential player pound for pound

26 & 4 goals, and had plenty of attention. Hugh stiff.
W Ashcroft pretty much ran around on his own all day.

Completely agree, he was the one that got the game headed their way.

Jaspa should have been given more votes than he actually received.
Media wanted Daicos but playing for frees cost him

On the Lions board, I suggested a bag of 5 would put Charlie in Norm Smith contention. Silly me. 4 goals and an assist for Hugh in the last should have yielded a vote or 2 at least.

I think in general we over value disposals and under value forwards kicking goals and defenders shutting down the opposition.
Would like to see some more recognition in the game for players today like Charlie Cameron who had the biggest impact on the scoreboard when it mattered the most, or Harris Andrews who controlled the game in the backline and gave away NOTHING, or Zorko who created so much drive from defence.
Clug Ashcroft Bailey got plenty of touches yes, and all played very well, but not all of those touches were gamebreaking. Mcclugage yes but 3 goals were junk time, and Bailey almost cost them in the first half with the amount of misses.
