Congratulations Geary for the quick turn around and getting back to the side! I think his kicking isn't depolorable. Better kick then Armitage, Polo and Gram and they are all still in the team.
I think this means a more defensive role for Fisher which will be no worries as he can do it, but we will miss his brilliant positioning as loose man if he does go down that road.

I would like to see Raph sitting on stiffy. I reckon he could hurt him.prwilkinson wrote:Will he play on Stiffy Johncock and try and hurt them the other way perhaps??
I wish Lynchy was playing... dunno why... just think the team is better with him in it... and Walshy.... so close now.... hope he gets to play against the Gold Coast.

Will stiffy play or is he a bit stiff and sore?

I would only have one of Jones and Geary in the side.
And Jones is so far in front of Geary that it does not matter.
Much has been written about Armitage, who is 22, 183cm and 84kg - so the only difference to Geary is 2kg.
Compare the way they use their bodies - and Jones does as well.
Given Geary can not do what Jones and Armitage can you look for other attributes.
And Geary is a hack there too, giving no pace therefore no spread and run ability plus he is a very, very ordinary disposer of the ball.
Our defence is well covered with the likes of Gilbert, Clarke, Dempster Gram, Ray and Goddard supporting Fisher and Dawson in the key positions.
So where does Geary fit in?
He will not feature in our mid rotations - Dal Santo, Montagna, Steven, Jones, Goddard, Gram, Ray, Armitage, Schnieder are all in front of him.
Lynch at least has versatility over Geary - being able to play forward and back.

Well he is getting a game ahead of both players in a team that needs to keep on winning to get into the 8 so I somehow think that Geary is rated ahead of Lynch and Walsh.Ralphy wrote:Well ahead... dont see him on stkildas list next year unless contracted.saint6709 wrote:Walsh and Lynch well ahead of Geary in my book

I agree Geary seems a good sub type.
But run out of defence - Walsh gives you that.
Good kicking in defence - Lynch.
Good man on man in defence - Simpkin.
Maybe based on match ups, but we're not attempting to replace Gwilt so to speak with this. I'm slightly intrigued.

Geary is handy as a sub because he is your Sean Dempster style utility, jack of all trades master of none (yet). Ross likes a sub that can be a fill in for injury from history Geary can have a run in the midfield and also tag damaging players or slot in on a forward or back wing. I think people have forgotten that he has played some pretty good games and his best is still in front of him. I'm happy to watch him get another crack. Lynch and Walsh should both be long term players but they are both inexperienced and it is a big game against unpredictable opponents.

How much of Geary have you seen in the last 12 months?
.
It's not that difficult to work out really, we lose a rebounding defender for the year, neither of your mentioned players - Jones and Armitage are even remotely suited to that role, Geary is.
Did Gwilt feature in our mid rotations?, fair dinkim…
