Do we think Geary will still captain in 2021? I respect his experience and leadership but he's getting on and has never been the most skilled player.
It will be a bit embarrassing to bench a captain because he' s not in the best 22 but if he plays he could be taking valuable spot from a player coming into their prime.

I don't think he should. He has done a great job and ended up being the perfect choice this year with what eventuated with the hubs but I think it's time for a new captain to take over and a long term chose for this new era.

And with next year in all likelihood being Gears last year, it will be good to have him around to transition the captaincy.

With Crouch as a new addition I think I would swap Ross and Sinclair.

I probably would too, but I'm not sure the club will.

 

[NextYearPlease]

I love it
But dont think we will drop the capt

Doubt he will be captain next year, year of transition. Can't remember the last time we had a capt simply retire from the role. Years of shared/rotating captains under Thomo, Roo, then transition of Roo to Geary.

[my name was taken]

Compare that to list we were building for "road to 2018".

Geez we were an optimistic bunch

 

[PJays]

Geary: 12 disposals, 2 goals, 0 tackles
Daniel: 26 disposals, 1 goal, 3 tackles

It was one of Geary's better games but he was well beaten by Daniel who was BOG for them.

Wait a second

Didn't Geary play the defensive forward role in the first half, forcing Daniel to change positions after half time (when he started having an influence)?

In other words Geary played on him for a half, and won the matchup.

Yeah, can't blame Gears for Daniel's last quarter (10 touches and a goal).

Ha haha ffs

Ross might play a lot better as a lesser player with less attention.

I think his point is , we bat pretty deep, and its a valid point. If Paton is out for Geary, or Long is out for Webster, we really aren't a weaker team.

 

[Jade Buddha]

Really interested in the Frawley narrative
Should be in good condition and would slip back in nicely at FB.
My memory of season 2020 is that we looked weak against teams like Geelong and Richmond who had big forwards we couldn’t stop.

Given how out of favour Snake was in the 2nd half of the season it may be that Chips being backup may change

All for Snake. But I get the view they want an immediate back up.

Yeah look I used to be a big fan of Jake but watching him this year he looked less invested. Not sure we haven’t got reservations about where he stands in the team

I thought he was awesome in the final.

He wasn't in that game.
Had to leave. I get why.

Happy with his year?

No Paton, no Battle, no Sinclair, no Long, Coff starting on the bench

Carlisle is a vital part of our team , knowing that we have him this year is a great get , he could easily have the best couple years ahead of him.
Last year he played and by no means he should of come back as soon as he did after back surgery , but he did to trigger his next year.
He is one guy that can take pain as he did the year before when he actually played with a bad rib injury.
He is also one of the only guys in the team that would take action if some gave a cheap shot on one of the kids around him.
But the main thing when he is on his game he is a top intercept mark.
Having a motivated Carlisle will only make the team better , he would of been knocked back a few steps because he thought in the open market he might of got a nibble , but nothing came , so he will be going out to impress this year.

I'm no big fan of Frawley but he is a handy pick up and most probably would want to show Clarkson he was put to pasture to early.

Dont feed the bloke by even posting his garbage ,

 

[#gosaintas]

Geary won't be capt and shouldn't be anywhere near the team unless we get crippled by injuries
