Ah interesting, so like brute force in a slog in the wet? Makes sense.I think it’s the lack of kgs around the ball and our intercept/counter game getting blunted. When Geelong has played wet “territory” type games they’ve been ground down. The one exception being Brisbane but they lost their ruckman 10 minutes into the game and were stuck with Daniher having ruck duties. Another factor from what I’ve seen is big name players accumulated ridiculous numbers in those games.
Also I agree small forwards can benefit, but mature bodies benefit more. Players like Dempsey, Close, Miers, and Mannagh aren’t built like a Papley or Paul Chapman.
I think it'll at least slow down the Giants. On a dry deck they might be too fast. It might slow them down.
I've said all year the Giants best is the best of any team - maybe Sydney and Brisbane - but Geelong would be close.
