It seems however, that Geelong Cats livewire Steven Motlop may not have taken to the track during his time away from the club.
An image that surfaced late on Friday afternoon seems to depict an unfit Motlop back at training with the Cats, and it looks as though he has plenty of work to do in the pre-season period.
The image went viral on social media, with many taking to Twitter and Facebook to vent their thoughts on the state of the Geelong star’s fitness.
