Weโre going through each side and predicting their best 22 for the 2020 season.
Today, weโve looked at the potential best 22โs of Geelong, Gold Coast and GWS.
Geelongย
B: Tom Stewart, Mark Blicavs, Jake Kolodjashnij
HB: Jack Henry, Harry Taylor, Mark O'Connor
C: Mitch Duncan, Joel Selwood, Jordan Clark
HF: Luke Dahlhaus, Tom Hawkins, Gary Ablett
F: Gryan Myers, Josh Jenkins, Gary Rohan
FOLL: Rhys Stanley, Patrick Dangerfield, Jack Steven
I/C: Brandon Parfitt, Zach Tuohy, Cam Guthrie, Esava Ratugolea
After knocking out the reigning premiers in a semi-final, the Cats were knocked out in a thrilling preliminary final against Richmond.
With the Tim Kelly saga behind them, Geelong stayed active during the trade period to secure both Josh Jenkins and Jack Steven - two players with plenty of experience who can slot nicely into the starting outfit.
With Jenkins up forward, there may not be room for all three of him Ratugolea and Stanley, but for now, they all fall into the best 22.
The natural progression of Jordan Clark will see him excel on whichever wing Mitch Duncan isn't on. Despite many predicting the Cats' demise next season, they still have a quality spine and versatile backline to trouble any attack.
With Kelly on the outer, there'll be more midfield opportunities for the likes of Dahlhaus, Ablett, Guthrie and Parfitt.
On the fringe, there's tackling machine Tom Atkins and speedster Quinton Narkle who could join in on the fun after another pre-season under their belt.
