Best grand final performances to not win a norm smith

[Seeds]

Dangerfields performance today was incredible. So many key clearances and score assists.


i now love issac smith for what he did today.

but dangers game was just unbelievable.

struggled all season with injury and stuck it right up them with an incredible prelim and grand final.

i think his grand final was better then all of bartels, sjs and chapmans norm smiths.

today he became a grand final legend.

who were the others who should of won?

Luke Hodge was really good in 2015.

Peter Bell - 31 touches and 4 goals in the ‘99 GF. Stiff.

Picken/Boyd. Will never get my head around Johannison winning it

 

[Duskfire]

I thought Picken was incredible in 2016. Hawkins in 2011 as well, Scarlett in 07.

Epic game by BJ in 2010. Did it all, including taking this hanger with the game in the balance in the last that shits on this year’s mark-of-the-year contenders.

The discussion will always be moot until Michael Voss is retrospectively given the 2002 medal. Like Walter Lindrum, the rules were changed because of him...

Dangerfield was very good today, but the witches hats opposition he ran rings around today brings down any chance of his performance being called a GF standout for the ages...

Danger was stiff today, but in a win like that, it's hard to pick who was the actual best. Geelong's use and mangement of Dangerfield in 2022 has been masterful.

Thought Dangerfield was BOG to be sure but I'm not a stats man, generally not overly interested in them, more of a guide, what Dangerfield did today on viewing game was sensational, there was no one on the ground capable of doing what he did.... which he did REPEATEDLY.

 

[Channels]

I thought De Konig was the most influential player when the game was there to be won.

That Bloke nearly got your mob over the line in 2010 grand final.

As for 2009, Crazy to think Jason Gram got 30 disposals. He could of got the Norm Smith had the saints won. Had Saints won the 2009 Grand final, I would of Personally gave it to Lenny Hayes or Leigh Montagna despite both only got 24 disposals each.

Darren Jarman

Yep he should have 97. Was a serious contender in 98 as well.
