Three years ago. They can't have tried too hard as they normally get their man. A speculative article is proof? I doubt they were too serious. I also doubt he'd be in their best 22 now. I bet they were spewing they couldn't get him over the line.
He has flaws no doubt, but I think most sides would play Geary if they needed to shut down a gun small forward like Betts or Rioli… his record at doing this is very good.
If you don't like his opinion, buy a box of Kleenex and have a big sook.

Geary is part of our Zone defence, a defence that gets cut up as it does week in and week out.
He does NOT negate small forwards.

Geary chooses when to leave his man and go help a brother. He has that experience and ability to pick the right time,
then he gets back to play on the Betts/Rioli types, his specialty being a stopper of such nuisances.
2020 was an aberration, when we travelled twice to Adelaide and won both, beat Tigers early, beat our bogey Swans. 2021 we've returned to our old ways. Damn
