Along with Simon Black, the only players with 300+ games, Premiership(s), Brownlow, and a Norm Smith.

Only other players to have it all without 300 games are Hird, Judd, and Diesel.

Caddy gone. Even more reliant on Dangerfield and Selwood.

Give him game time and hope he doesn't get injured.
Is a good pickup

Anybody got any idea what we're doing? We gave up caddy for sweet bugger all and keep handing over first rounders for fun. We're never going to win with a heavy reliance on 2 guys, especially with boris gone.

That was this year.
Thankfully we don't completely bottom out, but I do fear the Well might be starting to run dry....

What a player!! You'd hope Geelong are planning on a decent replacement because Enright retiring leaves one massive hole in your defence! Serious footballer!


Nope. We've been giving him James Hird's number hoping he'd play forever. ;) Josh Thurlow is his name. Was looking the goods in 2015 but did a knee last year. If he gets a good run at it he'll step into Enright's massive shoes.

Had to be done tige. I reckon Jimmy wasn't the same player after that injury he copped in 2015. His biggest strength was his ability to play tall as he was an excellent mark for his size which means he was a difficult match up in midfield or up front. I never did rate Bartel as a defender though, to me he wasn't suited to the role Scott tried him in from time to time.

Unreal that this dead set legend never won a B&F. Makes you realise just how strong our club was for the majority of Jimmy's career. But if he has a chat to Whiskers, who won four Carjis, what was better it would be a pretty short discussion.

I'd have Jimmy over Motlop.

Jimmy was cooked mate. Running on fumes. Jimmy in his prime no contest.

Jimmy may be cooked, but I'd still have him over Motlop.
Agreed Jimmy was never a defender, but thats more to do with our coach.

WTF are we doing? Caddy for **** all when we could have used him to land Deledio. This is the worst move we have made since getting Justin Murphy.
