Danger and Duncan were poor in our last (grand) final.
Of the 2, I think Guthrie has been more consistent and better in finals.

Ttue, and I won't watch it again to remind me, but where was he in the second half?
Really? Cam Guthrie’s had plenty of big finals. It’s Duncan that has underperformed in finals i would of thought.
Jeremy Cameron is Dan Menzel with good knees.

In the last 3 weeks Cameron, Hawkins, and Rohan have kicked 30 goals between them. If this keeps up and Cameron's inclusion helps Rohan get some consistency, we're in with a shot at the flag again this year.
I know it's a ridiculous call, but I'm going to suggest Menzel would've been even better than Cameron if not for his knees.
I remember watching him in his first year and thinking he was going to be the next 'best forward in the game' kind of player. The guy just had immaculate goal sense and an ability to kick impossible goals with consistency. His hands overhead were solid, he could kick on both sides, he could snap, he was big but he could run, the list goes on. He's the biggest missed opportunity of our time, I think.
Look at this and see the goal at 2:00:
...Tracking the ball along the ground, zigging and zagging, then picks it up and without looking, snaps a DROP PUNT that goes straight through the middle. He knew where the goals were at all times and rarely missed.
Having said all of that, Cameron looks to be the most important inclusion of our modern era. Has a bit of a 'last piece of the puzzle' feel about him. When you look at his goal tally already, it's hard to imagine where those goals would've come from if he hadn't been brought in.
I'm really excited about Cameron because he's still 28 - got 3ish good years left in him to hopefully tide things over as Hawk retires.

The way Hawkins plays - and the sheer number of different skills he has - I don't see why he can't go on to about 36-37.

That was some Ice Cold Finishing tonight.
Money.

I'd give up 3 more 1st rounders for Jezza!

Cameron is a star....what a player.
Add Hawk and Rohan (who was superb tonight)...young Close with great hands and a huge footy IQ...dishing off repeatedly...
Awesome attacking front half....

Totally agreed.
Also, it would be such a pity to only have a couple of years of the Jezza/Hawk combo. Love watching them in tandem.

Couldn’t ask any more of Jezza. He makes Geelong look so potent

Best forward line Geelong has had in my recollection.
Beeter than GAS and Fat?

GAS had more talent than pretty much anyone, but I would put both JC and Hawk a level over fat, and 2021 Rohan is pretty special.
I agree, but it had to be asked.
Ablett snr, Brownles and Stoneham may think otherwise

I'd agree, but did we ever see all 3 at their prime at the same time?
When GAS moved to full forward permanently Stoneham AND Brownless were well below their best.
Arguement is there though, and for me it probably comes down to simply GAS being the GOAT. He's Cameron AND Hawkins with a little bit of Smith to go along with it.
