Richard Geary

Height: 181cm

Weight: 78 kg

Arrived: Drafted at pick 52 in the 1989 pre-season draft, from South Fremantle

Debut: Round 5, 1989 vs St Kilda – 50th Eagles player.

Originally from the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Richard Geary played under-19s footy for Fitzroy before transferring to Richmond where he played 18 senior games.

A wingman slash half forward, Geary was the last player added to West Coast’s squad for the 1989 season after playing for South Fremantle in 1988. He played two games for the Eagles, both losses, and picked up a total of just three possessions. Geary did, however, have a good year with the Bulldogs, leading the club’s goalscoring for the 1989 season.

Played only a couple of games in what was a disastrous season.

Really handy for the Bulldogs that year though - think he kicked 48 goals for the year including some big(ish) hauls as the Bulldogs made the Grand Final.

Did pretty detailed searches for Geary, Young and Gwilliam when I was doing the Past Player threads and didn't find anything for any of them, unfortunately.

I interviewed Richard Geary earlier this year.
He played in Little League Premiership for Richmond in 1974, then went to Under19s , then Reserves, then Seniors. He donated the Little League flag to the Richmond Museum this year.

His son is on twitter Aaron_ Geary - probably best to try that through that way.
