2023 AFL Grand Final Norm Smith Medal Tips

Best Bet – Nick Daicos – $4.50

Nick Daicos enters the Norm Smith Medal race as the frontrunner, owing to his stellar performance throughout the season for Collingwood, solidifying his status as a bona fide star.

Despite being priced at $4.50 in the betting market, Daicos’ significance became evident when Collingwood experienced a notable dip in form towards the conclusion of the home and away season, coinciding with his absence due to injury.

Value Bet – Lachie Neale – $7.00

Lachie Neale showcased exceptional form in the previous week, playing a pivotal role in steering the Lions to victory in the Preliminary Finals against the Blues.

Despite sustaining a shoulder injury during a tackle, Neale continued to lead his team from the front, a role he has consistently fulfilled throughout the entire season.

With his second Brownlow Medal secured following Monday’s vote, Neale now sets his sights on potentially adding the Norm Smith Medal to his collection, along with the prospect of a Grand Final triumph in 2023.
