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 think we get 2 good players with 6 & 8 still so its good, i think we need to somehow get back mor ethan just p6 7 next years first rounder.We hold the whip hand here, so if we are going to help GWS out and make no mistake, we are helping them out, we are helping last years Grand Finalists become even better so that has to be taken into account, we need to ask for: GIVE: PICK 3 GET: PICK 6, PICK 40 & FUTURE FIRST PICK 2020 They wont hand over a player, its counter productive for them. we will miss out on Young if we trade pick 3 so we need to be strong on this.

Or maybe we think 2 picks will get waht we need right now and we can work teh rest out next year. I doubt very much there is a big name coming to our club, in fact im 95% sure. I think what we may do is still split one of those picks.. turn 2 first rounders into 3 first rounders, which can be done right up until and during the draft. And for those bemoaning we dont have a first round pick next year.. who knows what will happen, we might trade back into the first round next year.. lots can play out. I love having 2 picks inside the top 10 as it stands.

Cant see anywhere Jenkins has gone to GWS?

of course.. you reckon thats going to happen?

So how do we get a pick around 50 ish?

its good we keep pick 3 and have 2 picks in top 10.. not sold o giving up 26.

Wouldnt rule out splitting pick 8 now..

Big move, pick 4 & 8 this year is excellent. miss out next year on a first rounder.

But Welcome to Pick 8 2019.

Good, lets take pick 3, take Hayden Young, look at getting a small at 26 and a tall with out 3rd. Keep a pick for the pre-season or rookie draft and get on with getting the club back on the road.

If we dont take what we dont have and its available at 3 then we are silly. Young is the one we cant afford to miss out on a skillful and quick player. I will be really flat if we dont go with him.

So, Lets just imagine this for a minute, Tom gets injured again.. Weid just does not come on, no Tim Smith, Petty has played 5 games.. and we dont want to get a replacement to have in the wings. Its actually irresponsible and daft to not be going after a big bodied fwd who can kick goals or provide a target. We lost Hogan last year and we will enter a second year without replacing him. Its very frustrating, and what point in the year will the cries come for wish we had a Bruce or a Jenkins.. i reckon after R4 after Goals of 9, 11, 8 & 7 in the first 4 rounds.

I imagine it would not be alot. but id be very surprised now if he ended up with us. Which off the back of a year where we struggled to kick goals we will have failed to address another back up fwd and a small crumbing fwd.. seems pretty strange to me.

Ok, i get it, you dont want him.

Yeah there is an element of that for sure, but the club as much to blame as anyone on this, they created an environment that caused players alot of unhappiness in their workplace, some voiced it publicly some in house.

I cant understand why there would be a reluctance to pop JJ on the list for 2 years. Honestly, the moment we got rid of Cam Ped, we found that we lacked that experienced big bodied footballer. I think Fritsch can kick 30 goals which will be a bonus and a fit Melk could offer 25+ but i still think we need a good back up player.

Use pick 3 - get the third best player in the pool (Young for me). Add Langdon and AT, possibly a Jenkins / Butler type and other picks for the draft to go for pace. Its a good refresh, add them to fit players, second year draftees and get on with business.

It really is a no brainer.. he would be paid the minimum wage. He kicks goals, holds a structure as he never leaves the fwd line and while some people only see the negative Joe the goose goals, i tend to just see the goals, and for a team who couldnt kick any last year, then i cant see the downside.

In June in 2016, Buckenara said the Dees were the closest team outside the 8. Cool Story Gary, you such an expert that no team wants you involved in list management anymore.

Really hop e he is on our radar, upgarde on a player like stretch, and thats what we need to do, upgrade our bottom 6.

Im with you both, we will be better, we have to many good players to be a bottom 8 side. I think we bounce and we bounce into the 8.

Mitch Cleary, reporting on trade radio that although both clubs have said its not happening, he believes there still might be something in it.. Journos hey! But you never never know in an industry where lying is the second language. But i think its 1000-1.

All good LH, I probably didn't explain it to well. Certainly agree that Goody needs help, Hopefully Richo can do that and i hope he himself can step up and loosen up.

i didn't say he overstepped at all, i just think they relied on him to much and stripping it back isn't such a bad thing IMO, there are way to many coaches at a football club as it stands. Look who knows, we will possibly get a strategic coach, but maybe, just maybe, the coach might end up being that. Who knows.
