Thomlinson looked a broken man in all the media stuff AND THEN WENT TO THE DEES!
Do we still have Gold Posts? I nominate this.'Cats snatch Jenkins in surprise attack'
CROWS (phone rings) "yeah gday, its Geelong"
"oh. yeah?"
GEELONG BLOKE: "yeah were interested in Jenkins"
CROWS BLOKE: "Josh .......Jenkins?"
GEELONG BLOKE: "Yep, how much for him?"
CROWS BLOKE: (covers phone, says to colleagues) "Someone wants Jenko" (indistinct noises and gasps of surprise and joy) "SSSSHHHHH, SHUT UP. No, Not you, um yeah OK, I suppose we could let him go." Hurridly adds "yeah, I um, we um think his mum has an aunty in Warnambool, so we wouldn't stand in his way"
(gives his colleagues the thumbs up. Colleague jumps on another colleagues back, mouths NO ******* WAY, fist pumping, both colleagues fall over)
a lot of water to go under the fridge
Clangerfeild was the mastermind behind the Jenkins move.
Talked Geelong into picking up his old mate. Need him for another tilt at the flag.
have the best forward line in the comp.
Geelolong.
Jenkins and Steven, Geelong were already looking a pensionerish before adding these 2.
Oh geez it was absolute cringe stuff watching King, Dal Santo and Montagna talk about this last night. They were referring to Stagerfield as the Lebron James of the AFL; i.e. he's actively involved in recruiting players to the club.Clangerfeild was the mastermind behind the Jenkins move.

Never gonna get a happy ending @theblues ..... better jobs elsewhere!Carlton blew Papley, blew Martin, real go-getters.
Dunno.Jenkins 30 years old. Steven Jack 30 years old. Add that to Ablett 35 Taylor 33, Selwood 31, Hawkins 31, Tuohy 30, Henderson 30, Dangerfield 29.
What the hell are they doing?

Come round 1 2020 it’s Jenkins 31, Steven 30, Ablett 35 (turning 36 in May), Taylor 33 (34 in June), Selwood 31 (32 in May), Hawkins 31 (32 in July), Tuohy 30, Henderson 30 and Dangerfield will be 30 in April.
Does 9 players 30+ seem very fragile? Does to me. I see them struggling in 2020 then REALLY struggling in 2021.

Not sure but they’ll get their 9/10 homes largely against the poorer performing teams. That always helps.Plus they’ll have a tougher draw.
They do have picks 14, 17, 24 and 36 so they will collect some OK kids. They picked up 4 kids last year plus Fort. Jordan Clark appears a decent selection
So I see that they are having a last shot at a premiership in the next couple of years with the aging stars, while also putting in place a rebuilding with kids for the future.
Remains to be seen whether they will be successful but they do have a plan or rather two plans
I'm trying to remember the last time we saw a truly old team like that win a flag The Hawks dynasty had some older blokes in there for the last 1, but not to this level. Roughead is retired and only 32 now.
Maybe the Blues in 1995? Kernahan, Williams, SOS, Madden. Spalding, Peter Dean ?
