GEELONG coach Chris Scott says the rate of improvement in emerging stars Mitch Duncan and Mark Blicavs can determine how far the Cats can go in 2015.
Geelong stunned Collingwood with a seven-goal opening term to set up its 41-point win on Friday night, with Duncan and Blicavs among the stars.
Duncan collected a career-high 38 disposals (18 contested) as the most brilliant and consistent midfielder on the night, while Blicavs showed his flexibility with 27 disposals as he was used across a number of roles, including being pitted against Collingwood skipper Scott Pendlebury.
"There are a lot of teams that have been building for a long period of time. We've got a pretty good idea who the very best teams are, and I have not much idea after that," Scott said after the win, the Cats' third of the season.
"The rate at which the younger developing players in each team progresses is going to have a huge impact in how high those teams finish on the ladder.
"It's a good sign for us, but I'm not getting carried away because a lot of people were happy to tell me a couple of weeks ago that it looked ugly."
Duncan backed up his best afield performance against Richmond last week with another standout game. He started the season being used in a variety of roles, and Scott said the coaching group was to blame for his slower beginning to the year.
