Geary
Liked his game a lot last night, was in and under doing the hard work and was also able to get on the end of a few handballs when we needed some run, his use of the ball was quite good on most occassions as well.

They get it more than him but agreed. I don't see Geary's possesson as a liability as opposed to Gilbert and Raph.Moccha wrote:I don't understand this. How many times did he turn it over.

Gaery's first half was good. Faded in the second, particularly the 3rd quarter. Disposal was so-so by foot at times, but he moved well in heavy traffic a number of times. Took clean possession with some nice hip shimmy a la Harves before dishing off a handball. Bit of a hard nut who reminds me in some ways of a young Bakes.

Eddy came into the side against West Coast because RL thought he was needed at Subiaco.StPeter wrote:I thought Geary looked good. As usual there were 21 players in our side better than Eddy.
He did not deliver much at Subi or at Etihad.
Will RL drop Eddy for Subi next Sunday?

Quick 101 for a lady who was sitting behind me on Friday night:
Jarryn Geary is #14.
A couple of times she laid into Geary for not working hard enough.
On one occasion, Geary was nowhere near the ball.
On another occasion, Robert Eddy had the ball - I don't think Geary was even on the ground.
On a third occasion, Geary was indeed right around the contest. I thought he was going okay in that instance, but he neither won a possession nor laid a tackle, so that could just be subjective.
What isn't subjective is that Jarryn Geary is #14.
FWIW, Geary didn't really do any turnover per se (0 clangers), won 6 of his 13 possessions in a contest, laid 5 tackles and got himself 2 clearances. Solid, unspectacular performance.
If he could lift his kicking from barely adequate to average, he'd be a great player.

I like Geary and agree with those who liken him to Bakes, he has an uncomprimising attack on the ball and is quick over a short distance, he is not a spectacular user of the footy but takes the first, safest and easiest of options on most occasions which assists him to compensate for this.
Will he hold his spot though? He seems to come in as a defensive change, Ie Dawson, Clarke, Fisher out he has played, Eddy on the other hand seems to come in for a forward/mid out, Ie Gram, Heyne even Kosi in the past.
If Dawson is back this week does that mean that Geary is the one who makes way? Highly possible IMO.

Maybe this year?

Maybe if there was a thread about them this might be brought up. But this thread is about Geary so his poor disposal has been brought up.Moccha wrote:I don't understand this.

OK then how many times did Geary turn it over with poor disposal and if he didn't turn it over how many times did he have poor disposal to a team mate?IluvHarvey wrote:Maybe if there was a thread about them this might be brought up.

That depends on who is rating his form barry.borderbarry wrote:I may be dim, but why would you return Dawson this week on his form? He should return via Zandringham, and only after he has played some decent football. I would promote Simpkin and give him a go before Dawson.
Some on here say he's totally out of it whilst others think he's going okay.
However his only chance of playing for Sandy is if Ross thinks he's out of form.
And on that we can only speculate.

Perhaps some are placing to much emphasis on individual form, rather than his importance to structure?borderbarry wrote:I may be dim, but why would you return Dawson this week on his form?

I certainly did, and I'd prefer Pav to get to know Jason Blake as the guy drifting off his opponent and spoiling his party everytime he makes a marking attempt against Zac.

zac will be back. set him a hard challenge and he will rise to the occasion.borderbarry wrote:I may be dim, but why would you return Dawson this week on his form?

personally i'd elevate walsh with a long term view to one of the bookends. we need someone to put some pressure on the incumbents to perform.
unfortunately, they won't promote him unless they think he's going to play ... as his wage has to go into the salary cap.

So Eddy is the new whipping biy seeing Raph has played a couple games. Eddy gave a good contest across half forward and won his own ball a couple crucial times inthe 2nd quarter. He will never be a star but contributed forward pressure and pace across half forward. Will that keep him in not sure but look at how he did his role not how many touches he had.StPeter wrote:I thought Geary looked good. As usual there were 21 players in our side better than Eddy.
Good call, I think this is where we see him going long-term, to the back pocket. Perhaps a waste of some talent but if he does a good job there then that's one stalwart replaced for the future.bigcarl wrote:i think someone's already said this, but he looks like a little steven baker to me.millarsaint wrote:Will develop into a tough brave player I reckon. Coming along very nicely at only 21.
Now we've got to work on Lenny, Blakey and Roo...
