Will it be third time lucky?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Lachie Neale</h3> <p>The Lions skipper will have a say in the proceedings this coming Saturday. How big of a say he has remains to be seen.</p> <p>After guiding the Lions through a barnstorming back half of the year and three cut-throat finals to reach the Grand Final once again, Neale would dearly love to add the one thing his glittering career is missing, which is a flag.</p> <p>This will be his third Grand Final too. Will it be third time lucky for him?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Chad Warner</h3> <p>The last time Chad Warner graced the Grand Final day stage, he was his team's best player on the day.</p> <p>Too bad his team was utterly blown off the park that it’s a performance from a young player on the biggest stage that hardly gets mentioned.</p> <p>Now two years on, and having elevated his game to stratospheric levels, Warner looms large as one of the players to grab the Grand Final by the horns and steer it in his team's direction.</p> <p>Just as he has several times already this season, he could be saving his biggest performance for the biggest day.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Norm Smith Medal 2024 – Smokeys, Sleepers &amp; Under the Radar Options</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Cam Rayner</h3> <p>Cam Rayner took his moment last week at the MCG and showed the best of what he could be in the biggest possible moment.</p> <p>While he has a history of being hot and cold from week to week – especially after a quiet semi-final against the Giants, Rayner showed what he could do with a few moments of sheer brilliance to ice the game.</p> <p>Sitting at $21 at the time of writing, voters look for moments and patches of brilliance, and Rayner is certainly capable of producing both.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Callum ah Chee</h3> <p>Continues to be underrated by the competition and the footy-watching public. The reality is, the Lions aren’t back in the Grand Final without the exploits of Callum ah Chee last week.</p> <p>He’s shown his versatility all year and has become Chris Fagan’s ultimate utility. He’s paying $51 at the moment, but like Bobby Hill last year, could bob up and have a profound impact on proceedings.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Brodie Grundy</h3> <p>While no one wants to see anyone get injured, Brodie Grundy’s smile would have gotten significantly larger when Lions ruckman Oscar McInerney was ruled out of the Grand Final.</p> <p>Now set to line up against understudy Darcy Fort, Grundy has been handed an opportunity to dominate from the centre and feed the Swans' star-studded midfield all day.</p> <p>At $26 at the time of writing, which will shorten as the day gets closer. After the last few years of his career and having another crack at a Grand Final, he’ll prime himself for a big day.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Norm Smith Medal 2024 Odds&nbsp;</h2>
