I'm not a Geelong supporter but I'm tipping them for the flag this year.
Lots of noise coming out of the Cattery this off season about changing things is giving Cats fans the feeling that they could be in for a turnaround similar to the turnaround from 2006 to 2007.
When you look at the previous years the parallels are eerily similar.
Geelong 2004 vs Geelong 2016 - first year of finals with that group of players after rebuilding the list.
Geelong 2005 vs Geelong 2017 - second year of finals into the playing group and both years they could have gone further if not for injuries at the wrong time of year.
Geelong 2006 vs Geelong 2018 - when Cats fans expected everything to come together they felt the playing group was primed but both years they underachieved.
Geelong 2007 vs Geelong 2019 - pre season saw a massive review of the club by the CEO and Scarlett is the other common factor given he instigated the change in the players in 2007 and he is looking to do the same now except as a coach.
Do you think they will be a serious contender this year and possibly win the premiership or are they just making up the numbers?
