Norm Smith Medal
Submitted by carnarvonite on Mon, 2013-09-30 17:14
Says a lot for their choice of Norm Smith medallist which is supposed to go to the fairest and best player in a grand final, when he gets charges with striking and is offered a 3 game penalty if he accepts it.
Cyril has been charged for his chicken wing job and the pimple squeezer from the Dockers has also been pinged.

The medal is actually
for the best player - being fair dosen't carry any weight.

Sorry John
But your assumption is completely wrong.
The Norm Smith medal is awarded to the BEST PLAYER afield as voted by a panel of judges on the day.
There is nothing stipulated that it has to be the 'fairest' in the rules just simply the BEST player on the day.
Personally I think they got it 100% correct .

Ah but?
Ah, but if he'd been reported during the game , like he should have been if the umpires were doing their job, then would he still have won it?

Irrelevant
It's voted for by a panel. Highest number of votes wins. Pretty simple.

Thought one of the umpies
Thought one of the umpies would've got it for all the goal assists ... Gunston I would've thought

I thought Lake was
I thought Lake was outstanding and well deserved of the Norm Smith. Repelled so many offensive attacks and played a massive hand in influencing the result.
