Garry Andrew Hocking (born 8 October 1968) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the Geelong Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Tough and skilled in equal measure, Hocking was an integral part of Geelong's midfield who was recognised at both club and League level as one of the finest players of the 1990s, winning club best and fairests, All-Australian honours and finishing top three in the Brownlow Medal vote count on four occasions. Recognisable on the field with his curly brown mullet hairstyle and nicknamed "Buddha", Hocking was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2008, and was also named in Geelong's Team of the Century and Hall of Fame.
Since retiring from playing, Hocking has coached at various clubs. He coached Port Adelaide in the 2012 AFL season for four games after Matthew Primus was sacked. He has also been head coach of Peel Thunder, the Port Adelaide SANFL side,[2] South Adelaide, and the Collingwood VFL side.
