Geelong Cats: Mitch Duncan

As good as the Cats’ midfield has been this year, there is no doubt Patrick Dangerfield and Joel Selwood are carrying it. Players such as Mark Blicavs and Steven Motlop will need to step up in order maintain superiority through the middle come finals time, which is largely where the game is won and lost. Mitch Duncan also has the ability to have a huge impact on matches at his best. If he can rediscover late 2015 Mitch Duncan, Geelong’s case as premiership favourite gets a lot stronger.
