Dirty, stinking rotten Melbourne is a OS land to me, I hate the place. Sounds like Jack maybe similar.

I wasn't keen on the idea originally but with Tim Kelly gone another classy mid-fielder may fill that gap.
He'll be 30 in March, so we won't get a lot out of him, however 4 b&fs and 180+ games, speed and goal kicking nous it is quite a pickup.
For the price of pick 58 and sending Zac Smith packing it is really quite a coup, really one of the most accomplished pieces of recruiting I've seen done at KP. Kudos to Wells and Cook.
I wish Jack all the best and hope he can slot straight into that mid-field and pick up what we lost with Tim. Great news.

If you live on the western side of the state then any suburb on the Eastern side on the Melb CBD is a huge pain in the arse to get to.

Get off the piss and get fit Jack. Could be a good year. Looking forward to some burst speed out of the middle. Jack, cocky, narkle & Danger bullying the middle with speed and flair.
Sounds good!

What's with people telling him to get off the alcohol?
Is there something I'm missing?

The one thing I like most of all is when he is kicking into 50 he lowers his eyes and hits the target.
Really like his passing style - low, hard, accurate stabs. We have very few others with that ability. Hawk et al will be looking forward to being on receiving end.
Jack looks similar to Danger in relation to his pack exit speed. Has the strength as well. Hopefully a good tackler and two way runner - these are vitally important.
Jack’s recruitment might be a real boost for Constable. Having two super quick mids means that Scott can afford a slower extractor like Charlie to complete the three smalls with the ruck.

He can run all day when fit. Looking forward to seeing him in the hoops!

I have no doubt this guy can play. What will need to be sorted and will take some time is how he interacts with our other mids and the impact that will have on Geelong's game plan. No doubt that will be worked out off season.

A few negative Nellie's early on, most coming around now,my guess is there are more than a few opposition supporters hoping like * Jack and Josh aren't in our top 10 in the Carji 2020.

I was more than iffy early on when the talks were an early pick + player like Constable were being floated by some in the media, but can't complain getting him for peanuts. Seems like he'll be ready to go round 1 as well.

hahaha, ahh, he does lower his eyes, but doesn't always hit the target. He kicks bullets that can fly over the top a bit. But as I said earlier, more than makes up for it with what else he brings

BTW I mean NOLA Saints, not StKilda..
From what l've seen he just goes hard and fast, will partner up well with Dangerfield imo and will be very dangerous near goal.
Jenkin and he could well revolutionize our forwardline next year as well.
Two potentially great signings for so little is a terrific trade period.
id be happy for a couple of hours.... love to see some historical GPS data..
for about the 3rd year in a row... I think we will need him on ball.
Plays very well as a small forward not only a tackler but goalkicker.

Staring into the abyss
Cats have had a good trade period looking to contend again next year.
A fit and healthy jack Steven won't replace Tim Kelly but is another talented body with a bit of leg speed to take pressure of Selwood as the 2nd grunt man.
Josh Jenkins I think is moderately received but it's fantastic insurance considering he is a 40 goal forward that can play backup ruck quite easily I think he will surprise a few and frustrate a few lol
Good trade period can Geelong find another Jordan Clark type ready to go for 2020

I reckon a fit and reinvigorated Jack Steven will compensate for Kelly in 2020.

He will need to surpass his career best to do that.
