Rumour Reported interest in Jarryn Geary

[Boxhead_31]

The Hun is now saying we could be interested in Jarryn Geary from the Saints

Geelong

Corey Enright

The Cats are travelling nicely and the only question is whether Corey Enright plays on in 2015. If he does, you can bet it will be in blue and white hoops. The Cats have had some major success in the free agency market and are looking to land another big fish this season. Reports suggest the Cats are chasing St Kilda’s Jarryn Geary to strengthen their backline.

Would be handy and is in the mid age bracket 24-28 of which we a lacking

Since when was Jarryn Geary a 'big fish'?

Oh, he's a free agent? Ok, we need him then.

 

[MotleyLemon]

Has had some big games for the Saints, perhaps a bit of a front runner, but reckon he'd do ok with us...

But yes, as per above, not quite convinced he is a "big fish".

If he came for 3 years @ 350-400k, I'd be ok with that...

I'm glad some of you guys aren't looking after my money. Saw someone would be happy paying Frawley $600K in another thread, $350-400K for Geary in this thread. Throwing it around like it is confetti. Doesn't leave much room in the cap for our top 15 players...

Average wage in the AFL is about 300k now, is it not? You want to get a FA, you pay overs... If the club has identified him as a talent that could help our group, and he is happy to come across for that coin, why not?

We don't get 20% CoLA at Geelong...

(To answer your question, the average AFL salary is $250K, and I think it is generous to classify Geary as an 'average' footballer)

Granted not overly familiar with Geary, but if he is primarily a stopper id rather see Bews put to the sword with a run of games.

Bews is hard, cheaper, knows the system, cheaper, more motivated as no one really gives him a chance to make it, is fast, cheaper, already here, cheaper and has the skills to do it well.

And cheaper.

Is Geary worth chasing? Can't say I've seen much of him but my perception is that he'd lucky to be anything more than just an average player.

I think you forgot one thing Daz....

He's cheaper.

Bews is not a FA

Yeah, Bews and Thurlow will be stoked

They can't be serious.

Why would we want to give games to someone from the VFL? They've already tried that with Guthrie and Horlin-Smith.
Makes no sense to me I'm afraid.

 

[dazbroncos]

And regarding Geary. He takes salary cap money. Please show me one person that would like to see Salary Cap money spent on Geary that could be offered, with the leadership groups consent of course, on Dangerfield.

If I get one yes that is not a piss take i'd be shocked.

[you pick one]

If we are going to have a new thread for every player the Hun and SEN say we are interested in between now and trade week/month I'll have to get me some more Rams for this computer.

Also says we might be looking at Shaun Higgins? Cause we need another proven injury prone player on our list...

Leadership is good can't question that, hard at the ball, an OK stopper down back but a really average kick.

From what i've heard St Kilda aren't fussed if he leaves because we find him easily replaceable which IMO is on the money.

 

[Partridge]

Yep. Apparently played a great game against us - once - that they actually lost, but never mind. I reckon $500K would be a fair price.

Didn't Brent Grgic do that once ?
Then we know what happened

 

[strauchnyy]

350 - 400k? Excuse me?

Geary is the definition of a average depth player.

Style is similar to T. Hunt, and they are about the same in quality.

I would be astounded if these rumours were true..

1. He wouldn't even make our 22.

2. Bews, Thurlow are not only better for the future, they both have more talent than Geary!

Would be an absolute list clogger, we don't need more depth, we need more quality.

I would be focusing on Frawley (and Dangerfield for 2015) as these players would actually make us a better team.

Didn't he finish 4th in your B&F LAST YEAR!!!!

4th in a team who finish 16th.

 

[Turbocat]

Is JG the type of guy who will look better in a better group , or is he someone who will only be another good ordinary ..and we have plenty that are close to that.

We played Sherringham several games this year , not do anything that wrong but it was obvious he was not up to pushing into the regulars. At his age , I do question why he was played instead of others. Perhaps they were not fit , but Schroder deserves a serious group of games and he we are looking at FA , who, if I read it right , is a better version of Teddy.

I reckon he would be better trying to a mature body to GWS , they have the kids and just need a helping hand. Or Melb.

Rivers came to Geelong with an injury history, but no comparison to Higgins who seems to have spent more time off the park than on it in recent years. Let Carlton have him. I stopped thinking of Higgins as a "potential gun" years ago
