“Jarryn was playing a role on one of their key playmakers, so for him to stay out there was really important for the team.”

“Unfortunately, he will miss Saturday’s clash with the Magpies but the injury is very minor and we expect him to be running by the end of the week.” Saints Head of Football Program David Rath.

Geary has averaged 9.0 Disposals, 0.5 Marks & 2.0 Tackles from 2 games in 2020.

AFL FANTASY TAKE

Geary played as a forward lock down role against Jason Johannisen in Round 2, he will be given team based assignments under Saints coach Brett Ratten to lock down on key opposition players.

As a result of the role for Geary, his numbers will be low & volatile at times throughout the year.

Geary isn’t considered an option in season long fantasy.
