Didn't recognize him with a very thick beard, much thicker than normal, almost looked like a fake one
A real Sainter will pledge allegiance to the ❤ and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.

I was at the MCG today as well but no beard.
Brazillian?

I've seen it close up and it hurts just to look at it. The man is courage personified and arguably equal to or greater than Roo's in terms of courage on a footy field.

Many AFL players wouldn’t have attacked the contest as he did, it was crazy but typical attack at the contest.
It was an innocuous incident from a contest you see dozens of times every game.
Then he came back too early, was slow(er) and underdone causing him to reinjure himself, and the team having to play one man down.
Most players are extremely courageous on the field, having a few outliers who are more than others (ie, Selwood) is just media beat up because it sounds good. The outliers would be the ones who aren’t courageous.
Give me a leader who can put his team on his back when needed and drag them over the line to victory.
All posters are equal, but some posters are more equal than others.
Gary Ablett Senior could do that, was he a leader?
Robert Harvey, Tony Lockett, Dusty, Buddy Franklin?
Leaders??
Then you have
Maxwell, Davis, Hurn, Ling, Harley, Jack, Easton Wood?
Could they carry a team on their back?
They led their teams in Grand Finals.
Inspiration comes in many forms
I consider bravery the upmost form of inspiration.
You can undersell that act from Geary as much as you like to suit your agenda. I’ll just call as I see it, and the way the club and players saw it... a goal saving act where he was always going to get crunched and it was going to hurt!
He then played out the game with as bad a cork as you can get.
He did come back early, as you’d expect from Gears, but it was a totally unrelated injury.
Ideally you’d like a Roo level type of player as skipper, but give me a leader over a star as captain anyday!!
BTW
Did you rate the late great skipper Danny Frawley as a captain?
Who is better
Coffield - not even sure he’s up to it, definitely not a lock down BP
Paton - Seriously?
McKenzie - Really?
Long - Hasn’t even play back?!
Webster - fully fit could play BP but not as reliable
Clark - is a running back
Savage - is a running back
Great to see him. Was looking quite sharp in his dress shirt as well. Great captain.
This was my father's belief
And this is also mine:
Let the corn be all one sheaf--
And the grapes be all one vine,
Ere our children's teeth are set on edge
By bitter bread and wine.
There are a couple of over the top nuffies on here who don't rate Geary in our best 22.
Yep Geary has average foot skills and I believe the opposition were more than happy for Geary to rack up possies off half back as he's not a line breaker or overly creative.
But I'll bet the premier small forwards of the comp over the last 5-6 years would much prefer to play on Savage, Coffield, Paton et al than Geary and there is no person in the competition who goes any harder in a straight line than the saints skipper.
Nexus blue bottle is just yanking the chain, not sure why anyone bites, but there seems to be a base that think Geary is not on our best 22. If he is not I guess those supporters only value the pretty things in the games and don't enjoy the players who are blue collar and happy to get down and dirty at the coal face.

Geary is not in our best 22. If Ratten picks him in round 1 then Ratten should be sacked on the spot.
Another crap post.
No Saynta, not another crap post. 2020 will probably be Geary's last season. We have to get games into our youngsters. There is no point playing Geary unless injuries intervene. If you can't see that then that is your problem.

I think you are the one with the problem. Geary will play round 1 barring injury and will deserve his spot.
