Good article on Gears on the Saints website.
We got Geary, Eddy and Cj in the rookie draft that year. three really good finds.
You don't get a success rate like that in the senior draft. All three look like long term players, and CJ is a star.
I like the way Geary is going about his game these days. He is a hard at the contest player, his skills aren't sublime but his enthusiasm to bash and crash makes him one of my faves. He is becoming like a more mobile Luke Ball with the ability to kick more than 10 meters thrown in.

Looks and plays a bit like a young Paul Kelly IMO.
If he end's up a lot like Kelly, we have got a beauty on our hand's

Re: Geary article
Wouldn't surprise me if Geary finds himself taking on some of the work that would have gone to Baker in coming weeks. First effort will possible go to Dempster, but it could be good for Geary to spend the time on some of the sublime skill guys with a view to him developing some of the tricks.gringo wrote: I like the way Geary is going about his game these days.

If Geary could only kick more accurately, he'd be a star himself....

I think he's really started to show quality now. Been impressive last few weeks. Maybe he's settling into his backline position as appears to suit in the marks he takes, spring out of the 50m arc, and aggressiveness when the ball is in the danger zones. Go get 'em Gears!
