After a hot start to the season, the Cats have dropped off.
Not particularly quick when they were in hot form earlier this year, their ball movement is now even slower than before. It appears confidence is down, and top spot on the ladder is no longer a certainty.
This week on The Age Real Footy Podcast, Michael Gleeson, Caroline Wilson and Jake Niall look at what's behind Geelong's change in fortune – and performances – and how they might finish off the season.
How important is their home-ground advantage? And has putting it on the national agenda actually hurt them more than it helps?

Also this week, Sam McClure joins the panel to discuss a meeting between big-name Bomber Joe Daniher and Swans CEO Tom Harley and what it could mean for the forward's future.
And the Suns are set to meet with the AFL Commission later this month. What can – or should – the league do to help the struggling club?
Meanwhile, we look at which teams are likely to make the eight, and how it's likely to shape up. Will Port Adelaide, whose best has been brilliant, come in at the expense of their cross-town rivals? Are Essendon all but assured of a spot? And what will the top four look like? Do Richmond deserve to be premiership favourites?
All this plus whispers about Harley Bennell's playing future, North Melbourne's best players of all time and much more.
