Brisbane young gun Will Ashcroft has announced himself on the big stage with a stunning performance to win the Norm Smith Medal in the Lions’ massive win over Sydney. The Lions blew the game open in the second quarter with seven goals to cruise to a comfortable victory. Ashcroft was sensational throughout, finishing with 30 touches and five clearances, and a brilliant goal in the third quarter. He becomes the second-youngest Norm Smith medallist in history.

Marcus and wife Bekky were in the crowd on Saturday along with middle son Levi, who is also about to go to the Lions as a father-son selection. Youngest daughter Lucy, 15, is a state-level footballer and netballer, too. Neale gathered 34 possessions, including 18 contested in a brilliant performance. It came despite battling a foot injury for much of the past month. Ah Chee and Lohmann both booted four goals each.
