Cant bag the captain. Cmon. FfS.
Off limits serious.
Whether he is a very average player who somehow has inspired this team to sh!t on an entire season, is irrelevant....wait a gosh darn minute. I think Richo can add Geary to his end of year why I suck b@lls but deserve to stay presentation....well played Whiskey....you may have just saved our beloved, nay even worshipped Coach.

Let's face it though... He's not skipper material.

Great lockdown defender, huge heart, atrocious skill set.

Opposition coaches would love the ball in his hands, make no mistake.

Best we have in the circumstances. And I can categorically state would be the choice of every player on the list.

Wtf is the matter with some of you? Every player turns it over a few times a game, even the stars

Cripps does. Kade Simpson has played 300 games and he has a reputaion for turning it over but you take the good and his strengths and positive contribution to team over a few mistakes. Even Chris Judd and Nick Riewoldt made mistakes

The ultimate trier but every game he makes some almighty clangers.

Problem is plenty of his clangers are when he’s under no physical pressure.

They can be real momentum breakers.

He has a heart bigger than Phar Lap though.

Since becoming captain he has been playing a much more prominent/attacking role and that is not a good thing. Geary is excellent at shutting out the opposition's best small forward but with his new more attacking mindset his defensive work has dropped off and he is a liability with the ball in hand. I'd like to see him return to a pure lockdown role ala Nick Smith while our better ball users are the ones rebounding from defence

Pack of sheep some of you lot. Baa Geary baa turns the baa ball over

Quite certain you don,t actually watch games just listen to social media

Last night he had one terrible turnover when the game was dead in the last quarter. A couple of other disposals didn’t hit marks ( as with every other player), and if you want to prove me wrong go back through the game and list his disposals and what he did. Otherwise shut up and stop rabbiting on with rubbish we have heard for 8 years

Enough

Geary would be a lock for every top four team going into a final series. Locks down and nullifies the oppisition best small forward.

Don’t have social media...except for this.

Does this place count?

There was barely any pressure at times last night, Carlton were insipid. So I don’t think last night is a good measure of a player.

As I mentioned above Geary turns it over ofter while under no physical pressure.

There are turn overs and then there are turn overs. Geary’s turn overs tend to hurt because of when and where they occur. Turn overs that directly result in a goal hurt far more than one that doesn’t. They can be momentum breakers and morale sappers.

The likes of Geary, Gilbert, Savage, and Webster are part of the reason why we have struggled for the last 8 years. Good sides have good ball users in their back half because those kicks exiting defense, especially the first 2 possessions, are the most important in the modern game. They make you or break you.

That’s why Hawthorn had Mitchell, Burgoine and Hodge at half back so much, because they valued that aspect if the game so much.

Geary is awesome defensively, can’t fault him. That’s all that he should be doing though. When we end up with a team with Gilbert, Savage and Webster being pushed out by better ball users and decision makers, and Geary being our small forward stopper we’ll be far better off.

I don’t have a problem with him being captain if he’s our best option, which right now he probably is, but that imo reflects where we are as a team.

And there’s my point, in 2018 he has not turned over the ball often and most of his possessions are under pressure.

Geary, Sammy, Savage and Webster, until injured, all had good games last night and were part of the reason we won by over ten goals.

Enjoy the win ffs.
