Which goes exactly to my point that there must be 'cultural' issues at play explaining why there us so little interest for him from other clubs.

As you have noted stuff gets said all the time - but the evidence is pretty clear this goes way past a disgruntled player.

The rumour is extremely strong he leaked info about the crows to the media. Who knows if true but I suspect it is (and I doubt that is the only issue) based on no clubs wanting him, pyke  dropping him repeatedly when in form and there being a physical altertaction between him and pyke.

For what it's worth I think a club, perhaps even the dees, will pick him up late tommorow.

Too good a player for him to sit out football but the main reason is he will be a bargain. The crows will be desperate to off load him as if they can't his salary will go to there cap, so will probably take a third round pick and agree to pay some of his salary. 

So why doesn't a club get him in for a thorough interview and ask the hard questions to see how he responds?

Well at the moment why would a club show their hand?. The longer it goes the more desperate the crows will become.

And besides what are they going to ask him - ' given you are employed by crocmedia are likely to continue to leak sensitive information to your employer and media contacts . Oh and do you think rhere is any risk of you hitting simon goodwin'?

That's a bit like the question you are asked to complete when entering the us - are you a terrorist.

Subject to due dilligence and interviews, sometimes you just have to wing it.

JJ needs us.  We need his big body in the goal square, experience and two goal average as back up to T-mac and insurance / pressure on Weid.  Could be the difference between a mediocre bounce and playing finals.

Even if it doesn't work no great loss.  Put him on a one plus one performance based contract (2nd year offers an out for us on a performance trigger if not met) on low coin.

Sometimes players are just a good fit and this appears to be one of them.

Time to pull the trigger.

Here's my tip. We will trade in jenkins tommorow. For a third round pick. And crows will pay part of his salary.

we won't be trading in jenkins

Good to see Dangerfield owning the joint. Imagine if that was happening at the Dee's - it'd be all, 'tail wagging the dog'.

They might be saying similar on the Cat forums EO!  Who knows

So there are quite a fe won here that say Jenkins is no good, no one wants him and the Crows want him out so why would we want him. Well the Cats are going to swoop on him, for 200K a year. But no, we dont need a big fwd for a couple of years as a back up in case our star fwds TMac a defender turned fwd who has had one good year as a fwd and has injury history and a speculative talent in Weid who i could count on one hand the "Good" games he has had, and Petty, a dude who has played about 5 games.. 

Seriously, we are not a team who can afford to pass on bargains like this. As Nick Reiwoldt said this morning, there are 45 players on the list, Josh Jenkins would take 1 spot and could prove to be a great asset for a couple of years! Its crazy we have not had a good go at him.

I would assume @Demon3, there is a lot more that you probably (and myself as well) are not aware of in our particular clubs decision making process as to why they would deliberately choose not to have him on board. If you were to know these reasons, it would seem less 'crazy' and probably quite astute.

That's true, im not pretending to know anything but i am coming from this as an outsider and its my opinion that it seems silly after not addressing issues after the prelim loss that we are not addressing another issue. JM says theya re backing in the fwd line of 2018 where we were the number 1 scoring side, thats great, but what if we end up having a 2019 season.

I presume that the FD have 'made sense' of the poor 2019 vs the very good 2018  around the 2019 pre seasons injuries/surgery and therefore limited preseason for 'fitness' in getting bodies right, as well as cohesion for the team. 

As well as working on clear deficits : recruiting Wing's - working on delivery into forward line, enhancing the fitness aspects through Burgess, they are backing the same players to have a very solid 2020. Which is their perogative, hence no need for Jenkins (but that does not mean they have not being going for a bigger body forward - as @Yokozuna has alluded to, it just means they have not snared the forward that they would prefer and are not willing/wanting to bring in Jenkins). 

IF it is a similar outcome to 2019 WITH all these things addressed, then I feel it IS evidence that TMAC/WEID etc is not viable going forward.

 

I’m not a huge fan of Jenkins but think he would be a handy back up or relief type ruck role.   Cats would get a bargain here. Cats to give future 2020 4th round pick to Crows to Jenkins.  That’s about pick 70 next years draft. It’s grounded up peanuts.  
(similar bargain deal for hawks to get Patton for future 4th round pick. Steal).

Let the Crows pay his huge $$$ pay rate.  They are rabble.  No club should take him on, not even the Suns.  

It’s kinda strange how a titan of the game (Dangerfield) would push really hard to get Jenkins to play in his own team, yet so many people on an Internet forum think he’s rubbish.

I reckon they asked Danger what Jenkins was worth.  He replied “a future 4th rounder “ and laughed. The Crows then went well okay !  The Crows are rabble.  Bottom 6 in 2020.

No KF back up for us then....hmmm

Jenkins about to sign off to the Cattery

 

 

It's so cold down at the Cattery, he's gonna go from not leaving the Adelaide Oval goal square to not leaving the Cats change rooms!
