In 2001, the AFL Record named the players who were best on ground in the grand finals between 1965 and 1978.  A panel of football and media experts was selected for each year and asked to judge the best on ground.  Because there is minimal vision of grand finals before 1965, that was deemed to be the cut-off point.

Year	Grand Final Best On Ground
1977 (draw)	Len Thompson

 

Year	Norm Smith Medallist
1990	Tony Shaw
2002	Nathan Buckley
