Chapter 1: What strategies does Geelong use to disrupt their opponents?

0.031 - 18.003 Gerard Whateley

And PFI, Geelong have to sit here, just run the rule. Geelong played in a different way, didn't they? Well, yeah, and I suppose if you're playing the pies, you start to think about, okay, let's go at them. Let's try and disrupt this team defence that relies on pressure and support, and let's just go through the front door, like I said before.

18.044 - 35.769 Gerard Whateley

So maybe your metres gain handball is the type of game you play against Collingwood, and Hopefully, Colin will get caught up in it, and it's a ping pong game, and eventually we'll disrupt you with some talent and some good forward, that sort of stuff. So, yeah, it looks like Chris plays a, this is how we beat this side this week, rather than we'll play our way and adapt.

36.55 - 39.213 Gerard Whateley

The other thing with Geelong, they've got, I reckon, three styles.

Chapter 2: How does Geelong adapt their playing style against different teams?

40.715 - 59.891 Gerard Whateley

Home, field position, get it in, supply, supply, supply, and just... Kill you with a thousand cuts. You got your MCG. I think they bring a bit more speed in that run and gun game. There's a bit more space and they know how to play the G. And then when they go away, it's like, let's not bother. Yeah. That's what it feels like. And they've only had two interstate games this year.

60.552 - 80.764 Gerard Whateley

I just find that remarkable. One of them was opening round and the other one was two weeks ago against Port Adelaide. And they, yeah, bring your dance shoes, don't bring your footy boots. See what's going on that night after the game. So yeah, those three type of styles for Geelong. So I don't know. I'm not having them as PFI just yet.

81.335 - 90.89 Gerard Whateley

I know you might've slipped them in there, but I'm, I've got to watch on them a little bit, but they've never really let us down. The next two weeks of other ones, Brisbane in Brisbane and then Sydney. Well, yeah, that's a great audit.

91.371 - 110.662 Adam Simpson

Yeah. Yeah. And he, and Chris seems to be a coach that says we will play this way against this side, despite those three things I just said. Whereas most coaches say, we'll play our way and we'll adapt. I think he's going, we've got the pies, guys. Let's see if we can take this mob on. As opposed, we've got Sydney. We're not taking them on. We're going to beat them a different way.

110.742 - 112.489 Adam Simpson

So the art of coaching.
