- Now players have responded to the doubters in their Mad Monday celebrations
- They arrived on a pensioners bus and stepped out using walking frames
Geelong has found the perfect way to clap back at their doubters who claimed they were too old to win a premiership.
The Cats defied their ageing roster to put the Sydney Swans to the sword in the AFL grand final on Saturday, smashing them by 81 points and breaking an 11-year title drought.
As the players arrived to their Mad Monday celebrations at the Wharf Shed in Geelong they stepped out of a pensioners bus complete with grey hair, makeup and walking frames.
Patrick Dangerfield, 32, led out the Geelong contingent including by Isaac Smith, Shaun Higgins, Joel Selwood and Tom Hawkins that became the oldest average roster in VFL/AFL history to win a flag.
Some of the club’s most senior players including Patrick Dangerfield, Joel Selwood and Tom Hawkins took part in the gag, dressing as pensioners for Mad Monday celebrations

The players weren’t just dressed as the part, they fully played up to the ‘too old, too slow’ monicker as well.
Dangerfield helped his teammate Selwood off the bus, with the veteran superstar still unclear on whether he will continue on beyond this year’s AFL premiership.
Norm Smith medal winner Isaac Smith took a nasty tumble off the bus and Dangerfield jokingly referred to him as ‘Norm’ throughout the entrance.
The Cats were ruthlessly bagged for being too old ahead of their premiership victory
Jon Ceglar emerged with a smoking pipe and Selwood sat down to enjoy a relieving cuppa after the arduous journey.
The Cats were infamously belted by 83 points by eventual premiers Melbourne in last year’s preliminary final and were labelled ‘too old and too slow’. They weren’t any younger when they thrashed Sydney on Saturday.
Not all the players elected to play up to the age trope, with Jeremy Cameron stealing the show dressed as his famous grand final day chicken.
