So tight is the ladder this season, Geelong's loss to the Sydney Swans on Friday night has seen it fall from second to sixth.
The Cats are now two wins behind Hawthorn, which is sitting pretty on top of the table with a 12-3 win-loss record.
Yet a top-four berth is still very much within the Cats' reach.
After all, they're just one win behind the second-placed Swans, the third-placed Crows and the fourth-placed Bulldogs.
There are seven home and away games to go and each of them shapes as a crucial contest, starting with Geelong's clash with Fremantle at Domain Stadium on Friday night.
After the game against the Dockers, the Cats face top-four rivals Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs in matches at Simonds Stadium, then finish their home and away campaign by taking on Essendon (Etihad Stadium), Richmond (MCG), the Brisbane Lions (Gabba) and Melbourne (Simonds Stadium).
