It is the season of giving and when a select few Cats wake up on Christmas morning, here’s what may or may not be under the tree.
Patrick Dangerfield – a few bites
What do you get the man who has everything? A good day on the water with a decent catch.
Tom Hawkins – sleep
Baby number one* is just around the corner for the Hawkins family. And so are many sleepless nights.
*We’re hoping for a future father-son, by the way. No pressure.
Mark Blicavs – Mark Evans’ phone number
With third-man up at ruck contests now a thing of the past, we’re sure the player who turned it into an art form would love a few minutes of time with AFL football operations manager Mark Evans.
Officially announcing my retirement from the game effective immediately #threesacrowd @seekjobs

Joel Selwood & Scott Selwood – every tape of their Geelong Travel ad
To burn them all. And never be spoken of again.
Zac Smith – Gary Ablett Jr
Great mates from their time at the Gold Coast Suns, there’s no doubt we… uh… Zac… would love to have Gary back at Simonds Stadium.
Cameron Guthrie – a pacey defender
He was needed in defence in 2016, but Christmas has come early in the form of Zac Tuohy. Welcome back to the midfield, Cam.
Wylie Buzza – a match-winning goal on debut
Wylie gets his chance and we get to use the headline “Buzzkill”. Everybody wins.
