Toast Choppy to present Norm Smith

[Ford Fairlane]

 

[Power Raid]

still reminisce, Choppy's great performances

too harshly remembered for big hits by opposition supporters, whilst his great skills too easily forgotten

 

[Lefti93]

as good as his GF was, i reckon his early goal on the run in that QF got us up and running in that finals series. his skills were supreme

 

[Powertron]

Talk about a big game player. Not many are in Byrons league.

Could do with him Thurs night!

Port player receives the Norm from Choppy, Ken receives the McHale from his former coach ... we can dream lol.

 

[Us against the rest]

A massive reason we have a premiership, I loved the he played.

Port player receives the Norm from Choppy, Ken receives the McHale from his former coach ... we can dream lol.

... and Simon Black watches us lift the cup from close range after we beat Brisbane in the GF, just like 04.

Maybe this announcement means the AFL has decided that we're winning the flag this year since it's our 150th anniversary and it's not a real flag anyway...

Its Byron's turn. They have been giving previous winners - in order - the job to make presentations for about 12 years now. Before that it was out of order.

1996 Archer presented it in 2014
1997 and 1998 Mcleod presented it in 2015
1999 Grant presented it in 2016
2000 Hird present presented it in 2017 I bet Andrew Capel used controversial when writing about that decision.
2001 Hart presented it in 2018
2002 Buckley for some reason was over looked and 2003 Black presented it in 2019
2004 Byron presents it in 2020

I think they skipped Buckley because he was coaching in 2019 finals series and Collingwood were expected to make GF and wouldn't have been great if they lost it and he had to make the presentation.

The ex premiership coaches presenting the Jock Mchale medal isn't in order like the Norm Smith. Last year was Choco, year before that was Pagan.

All the stars are aligning perfectly here.

It would have been very awkward if Richmond beat Collingwood in last years Grand Final and Buckley had to present Dusty with a Norm Smth after his team just lost the Grand Final.

Good. Choppy can present it to one of our players.

 

[Noobz0r]

To Zak Butters.

Did you just quote a line from shawshank redemption?

Maybe.....

Choppy handing out the medal is great... port legend.

 

[70sDinosaur]

So in about 15 or 20 years from now will it be Beveridge or Bob Murphy that hands out the Jock McHale medal?

 

[LFC2010]

geez, how many bounces did Byron take in that 04 GF, counted at least 8 (probably more) from those quick highlights.

He moved like a rolls Royce, awesome, so calm. Absolutely in the moment. Maybe Darcy Byrne Jones this year? Who knows.

 

[Willsy10]

If we managed to pull it off and win the premiership I’ve got a very strong feeling choppy will be handing the norm to Robbie.

More like the Mad Max car. Fast and beautiful, but also rough and dirty.

Why does Tredders look as deflated as Eagleton that Pickett kicked a goal?

he's not deflated, he's looking on in awe

I love that he looks like the kid who has had to borrow someone else's kit so he can play.
