Welcome (Back) to the Bulldogs, Liam Jones

[Testekill]

Paperwork went through roughly 15 minutes ago, so it's as good as done. Just has to be finalised and announced.

 

[Dazb86]

Here's hoping he's still great 1on1

New back-up ruckman??

 

[geoffjennings79]

When does his first "This or that" video get posted? And assuming it's not with Dunkley?

 

[_Mike_]

Errr welcome back Jonsey

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

So he left as a forward and came back as a defender.

 

[Zgope1]

So pumped to have Jones back.

He was my favourite player as a crap forward. I remember wasting many hours on here at odds with truth sayer Dry Rot who knew it wasn’t gonna happen in the forward line.

Was cool to see him thrive as a backman. He’s a very good athlete built to defend. Fits well next to whoever we put next to him back there.

This is great news. The way Jones left was no good, thrilled there were enough positives in his experience for him to be willing to return.

At 31 his output may be pretty limited, but he's filling an obvious need at no cost so 100% a chance worth taking.

Well Geelong have proved age is not necessarily a barrier.

I made a post about him as he was the only player really having a go on a very tough day during a 20 goal loss to the Eagles as Subi, when he was just a young forward and we were getting smacked.

It’s a shame he never made it as a forward, but he turned into a very good defender and deserves credit for the career he’s carved out.

Welcome home L-Jizz

 

[Igloo]

 

[DueWest]

Welcome back, just hope he performs better than his first stint with us

 

[Mofra]

I hope his contract stipulates he's not allowed to produce any music

 

[maddog37]

Get around him folks. Worked his ass off to make a career when it looked over.

Would be a great story to win a flag with the Dogs.

 

[Beasley]

Dont forget he had that clown McCartney as coach when he previously played with the doggies.

 

[Golden_6]

Just six players remain on our list from when Jones was last here. A very young Bont, Libba, Macrae, JJ, Hunter & Wallis.

 

[ManOfClay]

L-Jizz returns.

Free pickup so happy to take the swing

 

[Sentinel]

Welcome home LJizz.

A couple of years ago the club stated they would make a concerted effort to bring more Indigenous representation onto the list, having had none for a number of years. Liam Jones

Guys,

This is massive

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

I am really happy, it says a lot when a player returns.

 

[bobs head soup]

I am really happy, it says a lot when a player returns.

Yeah, it's pretty rare. I just tried to think of some and could only come up with Brett Montgomery and Bones McGhie. I suppose Mitch Hannan previously played with Footscray, but not AFL

 

[passmark]

He was huge for us and played some cracking football. Still had his detractors at the Blues despite being a beast down back.

Hope he's still as good and he kills it for you guys.

My favourite player.
