Geelong midfield star Stephen Motlop (pictured) says he’s confident a Cats return to the top four is a real possibility in 2016.

The perennial finalists finished  a disappointing tenth in 2015 but are currently locked in a battle with six other clubs for second place on the AFL ladder.

Motlop was in cracking form for the Cats in the win over Essendon on the weekend and says he’s confident the clubs fortunes are on the rise.
