We’re going through each side and predicting their best 22 for the 2020 season.
Today, we’ve looked at the potential best 22’s of Geelong, Gold Coast and GWS.
GWS
B: Heath Shaw, Phil Davis, Nick Haynes
HB: Zac Williams, Sam Taylor, Harry Perryman
C: Josh Kelly, Callan Ward, Lachie Whitfield
HF: Stephen Coniglio, Jeremy Finlayson, Toby Greene
F: Brent Daniels, Jeremy Cameron, Harry Himmelberg
FOLL: Sam Jacobs, Tim Taranto, Jacob Hopper
I/C: Matt de Boer, Adam Kennedy, Jye Caldwell, Sam Reid
Life comes at you fast, and before too long Leon Cameron's men will get their shot at redemption.
There'd be a feeling of animosity about the way GWS approach next season, with several players entering their prime years - it's now time for them take over the competition.
Injuries have plagued their runs, but it happens for all teams, and seeing co-captain Callan Ward back in charcoal and orange will be a wonderful sight.
Jackson Hately is a player who looks ready to explode, he'll sit on the fringe with the likes of Bobby Hill as the Giants look to build their depth.
Losing Adam Tomlinson frees up a spot for either of Lachie Whitfield or Zac Williams to make the wing position their own.
Any of those six forwards could easily kick a bag on their best day, and finding the balance between solid defensive work and dominant attacking play will be a daring combination for the rest of the league.
Replacing Sam Jacobs with Shane Mumford seems suitable, given Mumford's declining ability.
