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.
Before Fremantle faces Brisbane in this week's Grand Final, I decided to take a look at this century's best Grand Final performances and rated them from 1-10 based on how impactful and memorable they were.
9Byron Pickett
Port Adelaide, 2004 v Brisbane
It was going to take some sort of heroic performance to stop the Lions dynasty, and Pickett was up to the task with a three-goal game for Port Adelaide's first premiership.
Starting the game by blistering from the stoppage to crumb a goal, Pickett looked early on to be a touch quicker than every player on the field that day.
His second goal showcased his speed while his third gave Port the lead and topped off a game highlighted by sheer impact.
