Geary

[happy feet]

Dislocated right shoulder, was taken to hospital to have it put back in. This usually means there will be a reconstruction. Sad to see, but Captain Courageous, it’s time to retire.

[The_Dud]

I feel bad for him, but realistically it’s not going to hurt us him not being there, easily replaceable on field.

[B.M]

Time to hang them up anyway, he looks slow.

Been a good career

[bangaulegend]

Has been a warrior but how much more pain can this poor basta--d take . I think the time is probably getting close but knowing Geary he will want to go on he's pretty f***--- tough & they don't come much tougher . All the best mate I hope your recovery is quicker than we would expect

[older saint]

Absolute example of a player who got 100% return for what he had.

Hampered by injuries in the last 3 years if we had 22 each week who gave his level of effort we would be a hell of a better side,

[skeptic]

Really turned into a great leader too

[Teflon]

MUST retire having surgery
Did well off a limited base had a good run and been a good servant
We have to move forward

[bergsone]

Missed a lot of games injured last 3 or so years,anyone have a take on how many.Luck is one thing not on his side of late

[shanegrambeau]

I hope we have strong enough leadership to make the hard decisions. And they should be,

a) Telling Gears he is not in best 22 if fully fit
b) Heal, rehab and do your best
c) We'll probably fire you at seasons end even if you do

No one doubts Gears of course, but like many players, he might think he can still play at 50.

Even if fully fit in a world of a fully fit team list, he shouldn't be in the team IMO, but should be a good stand-by player in the seconds. Now we are decimated by injury, as he is.

He is on the list, so give it all you got Gears, and who knows, if we made the finals by some stroke of a miracle, and our back line still leaked like sieve, there might be a place for you.

[Munga]

Good thing about not making the finals is the club stalwarts can have a farewell match. Hopefully he can get back for it.

[saynta]

I have a framed picture of the St Kida Side for 2007,

Gears is the only player still playing in 2021.

A real warrior and one of our better captains.

It would be sad to see him end his career with another injury.

[Scollop]

Good thing about not making the finals is the club stalwarts can have a farewell match. Hopefully he can get back for it.

BUMP

How far away is Jarryn from playing?

I don't think we are going to be playing off in the granny in 2022 and I sincerely hope the club don't get all soft and sentimental and sign him on for next year.

Having said that, I'd love to be there for his last game for the RW&B this year

[B.M]

Not sure he could even get a game

Defender- Webster is better atm
Wing - McKenzie is better atm
Def Forward - Ling is better atm

Doesn’t get in for mine

[Trev from the Bush]

Gears is 10 weeks, only had surgery recently. Very sad for him. Yibbidy yibbida.

[The_Dud]

Not sure he could even get a game

Defender- Webster is better atm
Wing - McKenzie is better atm
Def Forward - Ling is better atm

Doesn’t get in for mine

I totally agree with you, but also that hasn't been a barrier to him getting a game the last year and a half.

[happy feet]

Not sure he could even get a game

Defender- Webster is better atm
Wing - McKenzie is better atm
Def Forward - Ling is better atm

Ling?

[saynta]

Ling?

f***ed if I know. Long maybe.

[Teflon]

Give him a lap at a game if his choosing g FFS he’s done
Move on St Kilda

[B.M]

Very Respectful

He’s a 200 game warrior, leader and very good small defender

Yes, he is done, but his career has been outstanding

[Teflon]

Been a well paid loyal servant
I’m all for final lap , clap - plenty of respect ..even get Joel to S say a few words ...
IF he wants 1 more year should be tapped
Time waits for no one abs we ain’t a charity
People will die , have died without seeing this pathetic club win a flag
You keep your sentiments
I prefer to move forward

[CQ SAINT]

Surely even Geary knows its the best thing for the club.

[skeptic]

For those that remember…

What happened to him in 2010? IIRC he started well in 09 and then had some kind of season ending injury. I have no recollection of him in 2010.

[Teflon]

Surely even Geary knows its the best thing for the club.

You’d think so
I’m all for respect but I’m absolutely serious IF he can’t see it’s time then he’s no longer thinking about the club ..it’s time
We have guys we need to give games to
Steele needs to lead free and in his own right
If he came back next year and still wanted to play on then Ratts needs to stop being big daddy and be responsible coach
We have to move on

[B.M]

I will keep my sentiments and show respect to a captain of our club!

No doubt he will finish up

Celebrate his career I say

[Teflon]

I’m not sure again who you are talking to but you’re the only one suggesting he’s getting no respect
Bizarre but carry on.
