How do you define higher peak?

Danger doesn't have a norm smith.
Bont doesn't have a brownlow or norm smith.

All of Pendles, Bont and Danger just have 1 AFLCA award - Judd and Fyfe never were judged as best player by coaches in any season.

Or instead of awards, do you run with number of votes or highest player ratings?

Pendles may end up 3rd for brownlow votes (using single umpire system).
Don't think that will happen.
Cripps, Bont, Neale should all pass him within 2 years, Nick might pass them all if given there is pretty much no one taking votes of him for the next 5 or so years
 
For me the divider of the absolute best elite mids compared to the superstar mids who fall just a step below is the ability to be the goalkicking threat. Its the hardest thing for a mid to achieve and you in practice can't be at the very highest level without it.

Those who have/ had it are GAJ, Danger, Judd, Bont, Dusty, Bucks, Voss, Fyfe Swan

Those who are superb but not at the very highest level are Pendles, Mitchell, Cripps, Neale, Selwood,
Very fair point.

Only note being that Judd, Fyfe, Voss and Swan are a level below re goal kicking.

The others were 1 goal per game players.

Fyfe only had 1 year where has kicked 20 and has an avg of .74 goals.

Judd at WCE fit the bill, at Carlton he wasn't a goal kicker.

But yes if wanting a goal kicking mid - GAJ, Danger, Dusty, Bucks and Bont are top drawer. Goodes also was a goal kicker (if include him as a mid).
