St Kildas first foray in China ended in disaster, with courageous captain Jarryn Geary taken to hospital in Shanghai amid fears he had suffered a second horrific leg injury during the Saints 70-point defeat to Port Adelaide.
The Saints brains trust feared Geary had broken the fibula in his left leg, in his return to football 44 days after surgeons had to slice open his other leg to relieve the pressure from a corked thigh..
Saint Kilda were blown away by a rampant Port Adelaide in Shanghai.
Geary, a key figure in the Saints set up, was carried off the ground midway through the final quarter after he appeared to kick his own leg as he ran down and laid a tackle on Port youngster Connor Rozee. He clutched his leg in pain and could not put any weight on it has he was assisted from the ground.
Coach Alan Richardson was so concerned about the health of his captain and team leader that he left his position on the bench and went to the rooms to check on him.
