Key quote: "This is your's mate, you deserve it more than anyone." - Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge gives his winner's medal to injured skipper Bob Murphy, prompting an almighty roar of approval from the capacity crowd.

Key stats: Thirty-three possessions and nine inside-50s were enough to earn Jason Johannisen the Norm Smith Medal as the best player on the ground.
