AFL Practice Match 2021 Carlton vs the Drug Cheats

[kruddler]

Winning the contested ball consistently for 4 quarters is is a non negotiable.
That's what gives you the ball to apply what ever style/method you use to score.

There is an asterisk to the above. Geelong (at least from a few years ago).

They never won contested ball because they played a different style.

They almost conceded the stoppage, but pressured the ball carrier. They would set up a wall (in close and deep) to attack the ball coming out of the stoppage. More of a rebounding, run and gun approach.

What good is a 'quick kick' out of a stoppage if it goes straight to the opposition who now have numbers, time and space to attack.
That was Geelongs approach.
