SJs game in 2011 was better.
37 touches, 7 goals and 21 score assists.

With all honesty swallow isent that great of a player or captain for that matter. If you want to include ifs and buts then Geelong didn't have Hawkins.. 30 scoring shots to 14. Dominated contested possession by what 40?? Thanks for your thoughts though.

Would I be correct in recalling Jonathan Brown being the highest in a game against Essendon?

Have to wonder how much the scoring system has changed looking at those stats.
Yes. 25 disposals, 16 marks, 8 goals 4 behinds, 262 ranking points.
Jack Darling had 320 ranking points in a WAFL game before he was drafted.

I like SJ but having watched him over his career I could bet a house on that performance being against mediocre opposition. Epic game though.
Was awesome. Didn't even get the three Brownlow votes, unbelievable.
It was when we beat Melbourne by thirty goals.

Cunnington and Swallow both being injured wouldn't impact the contested possession differential at all. I mean that wouldn't correlate in the slightest.....

It's a scoring system that measures impact, not just a tally of numbers a la AFL Fantasy.

Ablett - 26 kicks, 14 marks, 4 handballs, 14 goals and 2 behinds.
Peter Featherby - 40 kicks, 11 marks, 8 handballs, 4 goals and 5 behinds.
lol, just looking at the overall match stats. Geelong beat Melbourne that day by 88 points.
22.35 - 167 to Melbourne 12.7 - 79.
57 scoring shots to 19. Has there ever been a bigger differential than 38 shots?
It must be something about Melbourne the Cats like. When they beat them by 186 points in '11, they had 36 more scoring shots.

All the other great midfield performances are against bottom sides. Dangerfield just did it against the top of the ladder team who even with a player or two down is still far far better than the bottom eight sides all the other great midfield games are against.
Ablett never kicked 14 goals against Melbourne. Sydney, Richmond and Essendon but not Melbourne.

While we are all naming better performances from anyone and not just midfielders...
Dunstall
25 kicks, 4 handballs, 18 marks, 17 goals, 5 points
But the Matthews stats above have pretty much killed this thread.

It's almost like I didn't say it was an amazing performance.
Cunnington was on the field... If he's on the field he's fit. As for swallow ok bring him in. Taking into account he would punch out 30+ contested and be apart in 5 + goals. Wow you really rate swallow. I hope you have your house on him for the Brownlow...
You used 14 words. 12 of them were knocking the performance.
Which bottom dweller was that against? Richmond or Fitzroy?
It was an amazing performance BUT.
The dogs beat port today BUT.
In every sporting event on the earth there is buts and ifs. In every game. I'm sure there were buts and ifs in the 54 GF as well....

No, 12 of them were explaining why I didn't think it was the greatest midfield performance of all time, which is what the thread is about.
