Norm Smith

[Paul Nixon]

Who do you like for the norm smith- obviously not of interest to serious punters like G but for a bit of fun I'd be interested to hear anyone's thoughts and why.

Personally I'm probably going to pick a player from each team, preferably at some sort of value. At the moment I'm thinking Peter Burgoyne running loose at half back @ $10 and Paul Chapman @ $10. Chapman is one of my favourite players, a class act who can kick goals and really hard at the ball.

If I was more confident Geelong will win I'd probably have a solid crack at just Ablett and Bartel. Think they are the flavour of the month and deservedly so as they have both played great, consistent footy.

[Dutchy]

Ive put a free $100- bet on Ablett @ $7-00 earlier in the week and notice he has shortened into $5-50 in some places

[mighty_tiger_79]

well any number of players can win it from both teams

i think Joel Corey

[Drop Bear]

Haven't seen the odds, but midfielders tend to get the most notice when it comes to the Norm Smith. Ottens might be worth a crack and I reckon Wojcinski might be a dark horse.

[RustyCage]

D Rodan @41 for me. I think he could have a huge one, 25 possessions and 3-4 goals

[Pup]

I might go Peter Burgoyne, Wojac and Steve Johnson

[Swooper16]

Chapman historically has given the power alot of problems. He's one of the few players who has actually touched up wilburon one occasion. So i have put $10 on him.

Might also throw a couple of $ on Enright & Salopek for some value.

i've backed paul chapman at $16.00 earlier in the week, i am contemplating tredrea at $51.00

[Higglytown Hero]

if Geelong win or even lose by under 3 goal, id be backing G. Ablett Jnr to win the medal.

Dont forget the Norm Smith is not voted by the umpires but by a selected group of footy identities - that just puts a different slant on things as they get to see replays , stats etc.

[the wonder elephant]

norMALly take 1 from each side and have done ok over the last few years so this year its motlop at $26 and s johnson at $15 good luck to all who have a crack if you find the winner u norMALly find value !!

[Wedgie]

Ive got a feeling in my water that Cam Mooney is going to kick 7 and salute the winning post @ $21.

[brod]

Im with you wonder with Steve Johnson, got him at $21 though on Sportsbet and Bret Ebert for a bit of value @ $41

[mighty_tiger_79]

Ive got a feeling in my water that Cam Mooney is going to kick 7 and salute the winning post @ $21.

better take him to kick the most goals then as well!!!

[mighty_tiger_79]

getting extra value out of the Norm Smith

players very very rarely win it from the losing side and if you are a punter that likes to have ago with some players from each side, then take that team to win as well in a double.......

just an idea

[Plunge Penguin]

Danyle Pearce at $31 looks good value. Plays well in the wet and can really break the lines with pace.

For Geelong, Ottens at $17 to carry on his great form.

If taking an absolute bolter from each team, Thurstans at $126 to hold Mooney right out of the game. Wocjinski at $51 is similar to Pearce in game style. These last two really are the roughie punts though.

[Wedgie]

Guys, just heard that Danny Frawley has the casting vote and he loves backmen.
Could be worth having a small wager on a defender like Scarlett, Harley, Hunt or Milburn.
(not inferring anything, I just have less knowledge of the Port defenders, would be worth throwing a couple of them in too)

[heater31]

same here wedgie

Scarlett @ $34 so a $1 wont hurt

[brod]

$$$$$$$ Go Steve Johnson, been a great day - Norm Smith + Geelong @ -18.5pts
