The Upcoming Games

Many people are eager to see the fixture for the Cats. Even though they have only 9 games to play, these games are very important to make sure they stay in the top 8 and maybe even enter the top 4. To be a real finals contender, they need to improve in many areas of their game. They need to have a strong starting pressure that will be applied to their competitors. They need to look back and see what was successful (fast movement and taking risks) and what wasn't. Below is the fixture:

RD	OPPONENT	DATE	CHANCE OF WIN
15	Gold Coast	Jul 8	Yes 88 %
16	Collingwood	Jul 14	No 40 %
17	Essendon	Jul 20	Just 60 %
18	Adelaide	Jul 28	Yes 75 %
19	Hawthorn	Aug 3	Just 55 %
20	West Coast	Aug 10	Close 50 %
21	St Kilda	Aug 17	Just 60 %
22	Western Bulldogs	Aug 26	Yes 80 %
23	Sydney	N/A	Close 53 %

Geelong has a tough fixture leading into the finals. They face great teams like Collingwood, Essendon and West Coast. They Cats will have to work very hard to maintain their top 8 position. Honestly i do not think that, with the upcoming games, Geelong can make the top 4. Geelong have had their good and bad games throughout the season, maybe they have a good game against the better teams. It is unknown.
