People seem to be jumping off the Cats' bandwagon in great numbers after the loss to Sydney at Simonds Stadium on Friday night.
Of course, the disappointing performance against the Swans is only one reason for this.
But there remain plenty of reasons to be upbeat about what Geelong can achieve over the rest of the season.
After all, the Cats are still in the top four with just three home and away rounds to come.
On top of that, superstar midfielder and host of the super-popular video series Between Two Cats, Patrick Dangerfield, will return for Saturday's blockbuster clash with Richmond at Simonds Stadium on Saturday.
Then there is the continuing development of the club's younger players.
Tom Stewart added a string to his bow by spending some time up forward on Friday night, while Brandan Parfitt, Sam Simpson, Zach Guthrie, James Parsons and Wylie Buzza all showed flashes of talent and grit against the Swans.
Indeed, the form of the youngsters has made us ponder this question.
