I am sick of listening to these theories that the umpires are going easy or proctecting the cats and that gary ablett cant do anything wrong. But if your first to the ball always give you the a better chance to get a free kick. Since geelong are so fit and effective with possesions they are always the first to the ball. All football comes with elements of luck and we have had a lucky run with injuries but injuries can be combated with aving depth in the clubs list whihc geelong have also. Geelong has been building theer list for years and now we have risen to the top with depth. and if we had any injuries we would be able to cover the injuries of the players with the depth. Hawthorn adn western bulldogs just need to keep building there list to develop depth and exprience.

You've forgotten all the help the umpires have consistently given them over the past two years too..

Depth is why Geelong keeps winning,bottom 5 or 6 players are better than other teams.

the best thing of Friday nights game, a bloke i know was sitting behind the Geelong bench and Ling came off and he yelled at him to get back on cause he was in his fantasy team, Ling replied " Dont worry its a party out there" bahahahahaha

The only player(s) that probably can't be replaced in Cats is (are) Ablett and (maybe) Joel Corey. Their disposals efficiency are amazing and their skills are just beauty to watch (especially Ablett, only injuries or tribunal charges will stop him being Brownlow Medallist this season)

Everybody is just jealous.. we should be expecting to get injuries.. just because we have had a decent run with injuries shouldnt mean anything

Geelong have much greater depth than all other sides. Their second string key position players are high quality therefore they easily covered the loss of Scarlett and Ottens etc...

I do think it would be interesting to see them without Ablett though. He is one player you just can't replace.

They don't have the biggest injury list but I think they've had some handy outs over the course of the season like Otten and, just recently, Scarlett.
