I'll be most interested to see how we respond if we can generate an early lead ala the GWS and Port games. If we manage to get in a similar position that will be the real test of progress. How much does the Geelong win mean and was it a watershed one? I've been very excited for this game, but the closer it gets, the more nervous I get.
Grimes isn't best 22, but Salem would take his spot anyway. Next year, Kent will take Howe's. Not sure Trengove is best 22. He'd have to prove himself at VFL level first. With a few more Roos/Taylor/Viney specials this off season and we'll start to see some depth in some of these positions emerge.
Funnily enough, it's also one of the two main criticisms people have of Gawn too.
Both worthy of it too. They contributed very nicely to the Geelong win.
