Geelong is almost in every conversation regarding a player wanting out of their club. Why?

The Cats present as an enticing prospect: located outside the Melbourne bubble, near Victoria's surf coast, host the AFL's greatest coach, boast a litany of stars and offer a lifestyle no other club can provide.

So it checks out why Geelong is always in the running for rival players, and this year is no different.

Many names have been linked to the Cats, so narrowing it down to five is no easy feat.

But a shoutout to Richmond's Nick Vlastuin, who, despite being contracted for next year, could receive interest from around the competition, and Geelong would pose as a likely destination.

Toby Greene (GWS)

Is he coming or going?

That's a big question for the Giants' captain to answer, and there's no clear direction on where he'll land. But the lure of an elusive premiership, coupled with being coached by Chris Scott and teaming up with Jeremy Cameron, may be an opportunity Greene cannot pass on.

The GWS leader has been the face of the club since its inception, but no one would begrudge him for departing after a lengthy tenure in orange and charcoal.

He'd slot in perfectly in Geelong's forward line, and still has multiple years remaining at the top level.

Greene has said he will return to Victoria at some point in the future.
