Patrick Dangerfield has earned universal praise after his brilliant debut in the hoops on Easter Monday.

Right here at geelongcats.com.au, we have devoted plenty of column inches to Dangerfield's extraordinary 43-disposal performance.

But the 30-point win over the Hawks was very much a team effort. And this point has led us at Cats Media to ponder this question:

Who was Geelong's second-best player in the brilliant victory over Hawthorn?

Was it another of the recruits, ruckman Zac Smith, who set the game alight in the first quarter and finished with three goals?

Was it Mitch Duncan or Joel Selwood, who ably supported Dangerfield in the middle of the ground?

Was it Mark Blicavs, who roamed far and wide, racking up 21 disposals and nine hit-outs in the process?

Was it veteran defender Corey Enright, who emphatically demonstrated why he remains a key plank in the Cats' set-up?

Was it Cameron Guthrie, who had to set up attacking moves while also trying to keep gun Hawthorn forwards like Cyril Rioli quiet?

Was it Josh Caddy, who kicked three great goals, or half-forwards Darcy Lang or Lincoln McCarthy, who provided attacking flair and laid some crunching tackles?

Or was it another member of the team?
