A bigger deal out west.
Geelong has massive injury issues in their VFL side that year - continuity was more of a factor than performance.
Continuity is always a big factor with those kind of things. Still you had a result you wanted with Gore there, and that gave confidence he'd transition. Especially if he had earned a level of trust from Geelong from that season.
Injuries are opportunities after all, and how many times have we seen someone get a small chance and take it with both hands?
