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.

Zak Butters (Port Adelaide)

Yes, the Cats are in the running for another top-line South Australian player, only a decade after they landed Patrick Dangerfield. And look how that worked out for them.

The Butters play is live, but Geelong are contending with the monster offers from Richmond, and the childhood club and the lure of playing with Marcus Bontempelli at the Western Bulldogs.

As previously mentioned, the Cats can offer something unique the Bulldogs and Tigers cannot.

  1. Do you know what letter comes in the alphabet between E for Essendon and G for Geelong? F! F for Fremantle. You know, the team that is on top of the ladder with a 3 game buffer.

    Out west they constanlty talk about Victorian media bias, and over here they constantly deny it. But on this site, they just ignore it?
