Goodes ... more damaging. As a fan I'd always be more worried about what Goodes would do than Mitchell
Goodes became under-rated the last few years by many moronic, revisionist fans

That is true goodes is underrated unfairly by many. Mitchell to a lesser degree cops a bit to by same said small minded fans.
I can't split them though.

Goodes was a great player and loved playing against Collingwood so I saw a lot of great games. Still I have Mitchell a level above. Has massive influence on games so frequently and great in big games.
yes, but this is a discussion comparing two players and not 2 teams so individual awards do matter.

I've said many times on these boards before that Goodes was proof that you could play 10 great games a year and 12 ordinary ones.
Mitchell just churns them out, week in, week out, season after season.
Snipping is a well earned draw.
Mitchell would have the edge as far as on ground leadership (I think external pressure and his daughters health (was that the same time?) made him give up captaincy).
Being a "dirty" player is probally a draw. Mitchell pretty much leads unsociable footy at Hawks and Goodes...well we all know about his dirty tactics as well.
At the players best Goodes by a fair margin. However at his worse he was as good as a traffic cone on the field.
Consistency. Well Mitchell is seriously one of the best players I have seen ever for this. Just never seems to have a bad game (as long as Ling isn't playing against him).
Off field persona. Mitchell wins. Extremely good public speaker and comes across as a real nice guy. Not even commenting on Goodes here.
Final vote. Goodes had higher highs. However Mitchell is a machine week in, week out. A draw for me, still voted Mitchell because I support Hawks

BUMP. Sam Mitchell can now add a Brownlow medal to his 4 premierships and is pretty stiff not to have a norm smith. Captained a premiership as well.
Eh?

Nice to see Sammy get his dues....A fitting reward for the best center-man this century.

Chris Judd, Gary Ablett, s**t on Sam Mitchell from a monumental height.
Bloke is a champion, no doubt - but he's not even the best of his own generation.

Ablett was a Rover, Judd a ruck-rover....Please read with care before going off, half-coqued.

Right, because the difference between a rover, ruck-rover and centreman is totally a thing today....

And I'm not in to claims of greatness when peers are clearly superior.

4 premierships
5 best & fairest (2nd behind the GOAT Barney)
1 Brownlow medal & the equal second most ever votes
300+ games
And the best center-man I've seen in my 43 years of watching the sport.
Says otherwise.

That's because you can't see in your old age.

Brownlows won from technicalities are the best Brownlows.
