THE CATS haven't exactly set the world on fire this season when it comes to most of the statistical categories monitored by the AFL's stats partner, Champion Data.
But Geelong appears to have some of the most twinkle-toed players in the competition, as the club leads the way when it comes to baulks.

Unfortunately, it seems baulks are not a great indicator of success.
The Cats had a season-high seven baulks against North Melbourne in round 15 but lost by seven goals.
Still, it's always great entertainment to see a player sell the dummy.
And these are Geelong's individual leaders when it comes to tricking their opponent into going one way while they go the other way (the leader is certainly not a surprise!).

Here's to plenty more baulks as the Cats mount their charge towards the finals.
