There's no doubt the Geelong players enjoyed their time off.
This photo posted on Instagram by Mitch Duncan is a nice illustration of that.
But we noticed that the mighty Cats enjoyed another benefit from not playing.
The team moved up one spot on the ladder, without playing a game!
Geelong went into round 15 in third place on the ladder, but the Sydney Swans' last-gasp loss to the Western Bulldogs saw them drop from second to fourth.
The Cats moved up to second, while Greater Western Sydney, which also had a bye, moved up to third.
Happy days!
But it's now a case of back to business for the Cats.
And what a challenge lies ahead of them, with the Swans coming to Geelong on Friday night for a clash that is a true blockbuster.
It shapes as a good old fashioned eight-point game, and we can't wait for it.
Now we want to hear from you.
What are you most looking forward to seeing on Friday night?
