WHO GETS it done in the guts at Geelong? Who spends the most time in the centre square, and who delivers (or doesn't) when they're in the middle? AFL Media has run the rule over the Cats. 

Players used 22 Cats have attended a centre bounce in 2018.

Ruckmen
2018 ruck attendances (top two): Rhys Stanley (318), Mark Blicavs (52)
Centre square hit-outs per game (minimum five games): Rhys Stanley (9.4)
Centre square hit-outs to advantage differential (team): -1.0 (14th) 

Onballers
Most common ruck-rover combination: Rhys Stanley-Joel Selwood (20)
Most used midfielder (midfielder who attends most centre bounces): Joel Selwood (420)
Centre clearances won (team differential): -0.6 (13th)
Centre clearance king (minimum five games): Joel Selwood (2.4) 

ANALYSIS: With 30 seconds on the clock to beat the Western Bulldogs in round 15, there's no surprise Chris Scott turned to Quinton Narkle and Tim Kelly in the centre square. Both have emerged as the Cats' midfielders with the highest rate of turning centre bounces into scoring opportunities (Kelly at 13.2 per cent, Narkle at 16 per cent). While Kelly has a neutral ratio in his 212 centre bounces, the four players with more centre bounce attendances – Joel Selwood, Rhys Stanley, Patrick Dangerfield and Gary Ablett – have negative counts. Despite having two of the best four players in the competition for career centre clearances on average (Selwood and Dangerfield), the Cats are ranked 13th in the AFL this year. Ruckman Ryan Abbott had a 37.5 per cent inside 50 success rate from his centre bounces on debut, compared to No.1 Stanley (28.9 per cent this season).
