Geelong smashed Essendon 75-16 and clinched a finals berth in October. They are currently second with Brisbane yet to play this round. A win over Richmond would give the Cats a top four finish and a double chance. Unfortunately, because of the Wuhan Flu, the Cats cannot get a home game. Victoria is virtually shut down, so the ten Victorian clubs are playing at hubs, rotating between Perth, Sydney, and Queensland. The best the Cats can hope for is to win out and hope they avoid playing Brisbane in their home stadium.
For only the second time since the bye was re-introduced in 2011, the Cats won after a bye week. Their record for futility after a week off is legendary. But since it is only a nine day break, instead of a normal 12-14 day break, does it really count as a bye?
