3-2-1: Fireball’s Norm Smith voting

There has been a fair bit of conjecture around the 2026 Norm Smith Medal winner.

Fremantle’s Shai Bolton won this year’s award in a losing team with the decision surprising many.

With the luxury of hindsight and some time to percolate the numbers, the Fireball team have done their own votes and come up with their own winner.

And according to them, we should have seen a three-time winner in Brisbane star Will Ashcroft.
