AFL trivia thread...

To keep things going, what was tragic about the 1976 GF?
So far as I recall, the captain (Peter something?) who had missed the previous year's GF was either injured or deceased just before the grand final

EDIT: I just remembered, it was Peter Crimmins, and I think it was cancer that forced him out of the game. He died not long afterwards IIRC.

If above is correct.

Who was the first winner of the Norm Smith medal to play on the losing team, and what else was significant about the medallist?

Died three days after Hawks won the flag.

If noone minds.

Haha wow I totally forgot that game, for some reason I remembered Melbourne winning by a point, but just going over the archives that's correct. I was thinking Essendon vs. Carlton, but the Melb vs. Geelong one happened in rnd 21.
