Fully deserved.
Is he only the second player from a losing side to take it home?

Nope, Rioli in 82 & Ablett in 89 did as well.
Might be forgetting a few.

Well said, congrats to Nathan - you played your heart out. One of the all time great players
Truly one of the great midfielders i have ever seen, along with Voss and Banger. What an absolute superstar and a fantastic leader of men (Voss also)
Thanks BT, remembered Ablett, forgot about Rioli *slaps head and says 'Doh'* (and that was 83 I beleive)

BUCKLEY YOU DOG!
Win the medal, then take it off and shove it down your dacks and have a big sulk
Pure class post. Can't even think up your own bitter insults?
I'll bet you 30 million dollars that it was 82! Blues beat the Tigers.
In 83 Hawthorn Belted Essendon

Like windyhill, I favoured Anthony Rocca for the Norm Smith, played the game of his life today.
Though thoroughly deserved Nathan Buckley, showed what a class player he was today, never gave up trying. I thought Paul Licuria was the next best on the field. Pretty weird having IMO the three best players on the losing side.

Buckley : Inspirational
Rocca : Inspirational, kept his club in it.
I thought there were better players for Brisbane than Rocca and Lica were for us. I thought Bucks deserved the Norm Smith but being in a losing side would probably miss out. Thought Voss was a chance because of it.

Yeah, Voss was up there for me (he'd be 4th ) but with him being off the ball for a lot of the early stages due to his injury, that pursauded me to have the 3 Collingwood boys in front.
But, Voss was terrific in the second half of the match, particularly the last quarter and must have been close to winning the Norm Smith.

For Voss to be off the ball, and still get 26 possessions wasn't a bad effort at all.
Buckley was a deserving winner though.

Fully deserved Bucks.
Would have had to of been between Buckley and Voss.
Voss = absolute class.
