Great LG. Seb Ross will be our next skipper.

[Cairnsman]

Dylan Roberton is my pick for next Captain. I think we could find out this season how much we missed him in 2018

Co-skipper with Ross in 2020? Hmmm....

The good news also...they are expecting all 5 players to play heaps of footy which includes Roberton and Hannebery.

So Geary skipper again, Hanner's in leadership group and Hickey gone!!!!!

Lot of football experts on this forum, NOT!!!!!

Lot of Armchair experts, some should just stay quiet supporters really!!!!!

Bring on 2019!!!!!

Pretty much as predicted, in all 3 cases, isn't it?

If I was an armchair I'd be a quiet one.

[DJ Higgins]

Understand each of their selection and covers the whole ground but still not happy with gears being captain. Understand why but if you are not a lock for the best 22 each week then are you the best choice for captain?

Not picking a fight but he has had a few bad games in a row that would have got others a trip to the zebras

Did anybody strongly suggest that anyone of those things wasn’t a likely outcome?

There was never any suggestion from the club that Geary’s position was under threat
Hannebery was touted as a walk in to the leadership group before we even signed and Blind Freddie could see Hickey was on the outs

Appears to be a lot of back patting and self-congratulating for saying I told you so to a point that nobody was arguing.

As they say at the club, you’ve really Lazar’ed that up

[SaintPav]

Was Hickey in the leadership group?

[CQ SAINT]

Doesn't look good for Newnes. Just had his playing stocks devalued and is entering free agency isnt he? Obviously Jack Steven isnt comfortable with the label and does his leading on the field.

best 22... probably best 12....simples

Geary wins again by default. Disappointing. I’d rather the club take a chance and show some daring by choosing a younger more skilful player everyone can get behind.

So you think they are all not behind geary?

I read that as a personal opinion. How did you read it to mean he’s talking about people from inside the club.

No question, you're right, its a personal opinion. I assumed hes talking about people inside the club because thats all that's relevant.
Whether or not nuffies on a fan forum think differently is irrelevant if that's what was referred to.

Did you just refer to me as a ‘nuffie’? How does that fly under our new dictatorship...?

Back on topic though, I think there could be a number of reasons why Geary, the safe option, is chosen, and why a younger player with ambitions would be hesitant to put their hand up.

Geary tries hard and obviously loves the club, but his skills are poor at best and he does zero damage to the opposition. Out of the 18 captains in the league he would easily be the worst player, and possible the worst in recent memory.

Lastly, I think having the captaincy or not won’t change how Geary plays or his effectiveness, but the added responsibilities might just help propel a young player to new heights.

'Nuffies' is non-directional...technicalities, technicalities...

Agreed on all of the above, with my addition that Geary is a liability.
All the effort is destroyed by the Basil Fawlty-esque things he does continually.
I shake my head several times each game at him.
And don't give me the old cliche that he's under pressure, his backmen don't support well, etc etc.

Oppo forwards are instructed to let him roam free at a kick-in, because there's very short odds on him doing something silly.
He is our worst player to ever get a regular game since Tim Elliott.
'The coaching staff respect him, they're professionals, they're experts, blah blah'

Lets see their record-

- move to Seaford
- signing Richo after 33% wins
- picking Mav every game then delisting
- using Pick 1 on a guy with known health issues and believing stubbornly that it's gonna be manageable

Need I go on?

Nah, don't go on, unless it's to officially at the next stop to finally get off!!!!!

Easy to point out the negatives, too many positives to post, so won't start a disagreement, against the rules!!!!!

Haha, no mate, not referring to any individual, just classifying all us supporters as people that are on the outside and dont really know what goes on.
Geary gets massive respect from the playing group and the coaches and they love playing with him. I reckon this will be his last year in the job and i reckon they will be keen to see who stands up this year before annointing a successor- hopefully one of the younger guys. I dont share the view amongst a vocal minority that Geary is a liability and nor do i think the players. But i particularly dont like the bagging of our own players - i leave that to opposition supporters.

If you're a former ruckman from the Saints, you'd agree that Tim Elliott was as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.
That's how I see Geary.
My opinion.

Good for you!!!!!

Your Opinion is noted, for whatever that means at the end of the day!!!!!
