	Voss deserved Norm Smith Medal, says Lion - realfooty.com.au
		Fresh from accusing umpires of "crucifying" his team in Saturday's grand final, Brisbane star Jason Akermanis yesterday attacked the decision to award the Norm Smith Medal to Collingwood captain Nathan Buckley, telling thousands of Lions fans that his skipper, Michael Voss, would have made a worthier winner.
		This year's Norm Smith Medal was decided by a panel of five football experts - Robert Walls, Geoff Slattery, Dwayne Russell, Mark Duffield and Patrick Smith.
		Akermanis' comments came in the wake of his extraordinary attack on the umpires after Saturday's grand final that is expected to attract a hefty fine from the AFL.

		He also polled 17 votes in the Magarey Medal, a total exceeded by only 2 players, but a suspension incurred during the year meant that he would not have been eligible for the award in any case.

		Often reserving his best for big games, Rioli won consecutive grand final Simpson Medals with South Fremantle in 1980 and 1981 (the latter shared), and then went on to secure a notable hat trick when his best afield performance in a losing Richmond grand final side against Carlton earned him the 1982 Norm Smith Medal.
