You must have erased the 2011 grand final from your mind Archie.

Wayne Johnson v Steve Johnson would be a better comparison.
Daicos was simply in another league to Steve Johnson.

Agreed. Daicos was a freak. Johnson has Daicos tendencies, but Johnson's not quite that good. As an example, I saw Daicos ruin Carlton one day out at Waverley in the space of 3 kicks. Collingwood were getting beaten (I remember the game because Jamie Dunlop was the ruckman), 2 never to be seen again goals and by that stage they'd got their tails up and went on to win by 8 goals. And that was just one occasion, I'm sure if I jog the memory I'd come up with a dozen more.

Stevie J is an outrageously good footballer.
But he is not as good as Daicos.

Good one. I was pointing out that Johnson played well when the Cats were in trouble in the 2011 GF.

so why dont you come out and say so. Basically we should be comparing Johnson vs Stuart Dew..... they both played well when things were close in a grand final.
you obviously never saw Daicos play Dufus!!

As much as I love Stevie, I don't think he could play a season permanently forward and kick over 90 goals. He might give 60 a nudge.
Of the two, in their prime, in my team today? Daicos. Easily, easily, easily.

Johnson had a blinder last year after this thread was created and he appears to have gone on with that. Finished 3rd in the Brownlow from only the 16 H&A games.
If he keeps up this current form all season long and takes home a few more awards (perhaps Charlie), it's not ridiculous at all to suggest he's the equal of Peter Daicos.

You could make an argument that Daicos was the most skilled player of all time. Other than the consistency with which he kicked freak goals, the thing that most amazed me about watching his highlights clips is that he kicks almost as many miracle goals on his left boot as his right. I mean his non preferred was so good that he rarely had to pull out the signature bannana kick but when he did he never seemed to miss. The other thing to note was the fact he could pull out his party tricks in big games. The goal in the final v WC is the best goal I've ever seen and two he got in the GF were also ridiculous.
i would say it would be something like this
Daicos is Carey
Stevie J is J Brown.....
yeah nah??
and yes did you see the way i brought Carey into the argument..... special i know.....
BTW Daicos is a super bloke too!!

Didn't Daicos nearly crack the ton? Considering they're the same kind of player, Daicos gets my vote.

Everyone loves Daics.

Daicos is over 50 now.

Obviously.. Daicos is better and this thread is embarrassing as hell being a Geelong supporter.
Only possible comparisons I can come up with are Yze, Farmer and Milne but they're all career forwards never did mid.

Completly differant Dawes is useless in general.Given that Riewoldt is a A+ player and Dawes a C being lucky enough to be in a premiership team doesnt change that. Steve J has been a NS medalist in one GF and basically was BOG in 2011.
