The siren sounded shortly after to give West Coast a 5-point win.<sup id="cite_ref-AFL.com.auMatchReport_18-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-AFL.com.auMatchReport-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ABCMatchReport_19-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ABCMatchReport-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-scoring_progression_20-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-scoring_progression-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Norm_Smith_Medal">Norm Smith Medal</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=2018_AFL_Grand_Final&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Norm Smith Medal"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table class="wikitable"> <caption>Norm Smith Medal Voting Tally </caption> <tbody><tr> <th>Position </th> <th>Player </th> <th>Club </th> <th>Total Votes </th> <th>Voting Summary </th></tr> <tr> <td>1st (winner) </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Luke_Shuey" title="Luke Shuey">Luke Shuey</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/West_Coast_Eagles" title="West Coast Eagles">West Coast Eagles</a> </td> <td>11 </td> <td>3,3,3,2 </td></tr> <tr> <td>2nd </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Taylor_Adams" title="Taylor Adams">Taylor Adams</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Collingwood_Football_Club" title="Collingwood Football Club">Collingwood</a> </td> <td>7 </td> <td>3,2,2 </td></tr> <tr> <td>3rd </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Dom_Sheed" title="Dom Sheed">Dom Sheed</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/West_Coast_Eagles" title="West Coast Eagles">West Coast Eagles</a> </td> <td>4 </td> <td>2,1,1 </td></tr> <tr> <td>4th (tied) </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Tom_Langdon" title="Tom Langdon">Tom Langdon</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Collingwood_Football_Club" title="Collingwood Football Club">Collingwood</a> </td> <td>1 </td> <td>1 </td></tr> <tr> <td>4th (tied) </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Jeremy_McGovern" title="Jeremy McGovern">Jeremy McGovern</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/West_Coast_Eagles" title="West Coast Eagles">West Coast Eagles</a> </td> <td>1 </td> <td>1 </td></tr></tbody></table> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Luke_Shuey_celebrating_2018_AFL_Grand_Final.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Luke_Shuey_celebrating_2018_AFL_Grand_Final.jpg/170px-Luke_Shuey_celebrating_2018_AFL_Grand_Final.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="227" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Luke_Shuey_celebrating_2018_AFL_Grand_Final.jpg/255px-Luke_Shuey_celebrating_2018_AFL_Grand_Final.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Luke_Shuey_celebrating_2018_AFL_Grand_Final.jpg/340px-Luke_Shuey_celebrating_2018_AFL_Grand_Final.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2498" data-file-height="3331" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Luke_Shuey" title="Luke Shuey">Luke Shuey</a>, winner of the <a href="/wiki/Norm_Smith_Medal" title="Norm Smith Medal">Norm Smith Medal</a>, celebrating West Coast's victory</figcaption></figure> <p>With 11 votes out of a maximum possible 12, <a href="/wiki/Luke_Shuey" title="Luke Shuey">Luke Shuey</a> was awarded the Norm Smith Medal, after collecting 34 disposals, eight clearances and a crucial second-quarter goal.
