To perform well in a final is one thing in footy, while to perform well in a Grand Final is another calling only some across the game's history have risen to.
The prestigious Norm Smith Medal is awarded to these players who are up to the challenge and make sure that they are forever immortalised for their heroic play.

With his snap at goal in the final minutes topping off a 48-point win and a year that many regard as one of the best individual seasons an AFL player has ever had.
