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.

Geelong, 2011 v Collingwood
Going up against the reigning premiers was no easy task, and it looked that way until Bartel booted his infamous goal from the boundary to stop the Pies from pulling away.
Bartel would continue his form in the premiership quarter by kicking a goal from a set shot on the angle to take a lead the Cats would hold onto until the final siren. Finishing with three goals and 26 disposals, Bartel's legacy in Geelong will forever be defined by this game.
