Jenkins would be a bargain at $200k’s in our forward line

2 goals per game

Nobody was remotely close to that in 2019

Get the Crows to pay 70% of his ridiculous contract  

Thanks very much

If that was the case and he is a late pick, it’s a steal and it gives us time to develop ours and recruit  others. Would solve our needed extra key forward for a year or two.

Exactly as long as Adelaide pay the contract they signed off on. 

We need goals. It doesn’t have to look pretty. Goodwin is mad if he doesn’t take this guy if no one else is interested

Surely there’d be interest if Adelaide are willing to pay all of his wage minus $200k a season. I don’t know if I believe that figure, I reckon Adelaide are looking at offloading Jenkins and a significant amount of his salary as well. Or are asking too much pick wise?

Currently we have one established key forward, one developing key forward and a few mid sized makeshift forwards. Unless we have another alternative, given the Crows paying most of his salary and costing a late pick,  he is an easy fix to a problem, while looking  for a longer term solution.

This is exactly what they are doing with Betts at Carlton. Deal is almost done. 

Hope they can do it wit Jenkins

i would expect the sticking point for any prospective suitor is that the crows are prepared to trade him for bupkiss BUT they don't want to pay his wage

Then there is no deal...

Simple.

Since he is contracted they have two options, pay part of his contract or all of it.

You have to pay a portion of his salary, yes but what about the draft pick involved?

2 years left on his 800k contract?

Yes he would be at that price, No way they are going to pay 600k for a player on someone elses list without a decent draft pick in return.

Exactly, that was my point above. Either they’re asking too high a draft pick for him or the report Adelaide are willing to pay all but 200k is false.

Then they are stuck with a Player who wants out. 

Jenkins could be a trade for next week. 

We could get a bargain if we play it right

Yes that’s right. They want him out

On our terms, otherwise “Thankyou, Goodbye...”

So we should be able to negotiate a reasonable $ amount and a reasonable draft pick.

Better than should. We hold all the Cards. 

I will be very peeved if we don’t have a serious crack at this guy for such a small salary. 

$200,000 per year is a rookie wage

Permanent Forward...

Yes, and look I understand the knock on him but if he can kick 40+ goals for us he can sit in the goal square all day long. How many forwards kick 40+ goals. Of coarse the risk is will he perform to that level, but at the right price it's worth the gamble.

He started his career as a 23 year old in 2012, so hopefully that bodes well for his longevity next year as a 31 year old forward, should we pick him up cheap as chips

40 goals is 40 goals. He can kick them from inside the goal square, it doesn’t matter. 

Our best return this year was 22 goals from Tracc!!

we are in no position to be pedantic about whether this guy kicks cheap goals. 

They are all worth 6 points! :)

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
