Having JJ stuck on the list is not the worst situation to be in. If we get an injury he’s a handy back up and if he hits a purple pitch he’s extra handy

Fair whack of the salary cap to have invested in "back up" ?Having JJ stuck on the list is not the worst situation to be in. If we get an injury he’s a handy back up and if he hits a purple pitch he’s extra handy
Unless it was front ended and he is probably getting what he is earning ATM.Fair whack of the salary cap to have invested in "back up" ?
Apparently Jenkins turned down some pretty lucrative offers to stay in Adelaide. I wonder if this is adding to him feeling peeved over being pushed out?

Not dissimilar to Gibbs. Maybe that means he is more open to a trade come season end

IN-DEMAND Adelaide forward Josh Jenkins has given the strongest hint yet he is likely to reject a lucrative offer from Brisbane, saying “money doesn’t buy happiness”.
Jenkins, who is out of contract this season, is weighing up rival offers which is believed to include a five-year deal, $4.5 million deal from the Lions.
Adelaide is reportedly reluctant to budge on a $550,000-a-season contract for Jenkins until 2020, but may have to increase its offer to at least $600,000 a year to retain the in-form spearhead.
The 27-year-old flew to Melbourne yesterday to meet with agent Paul Connors during the Crows’ mid-season bye....
....He is in career-best form with 37 goals this season to sit fourth on the Coleman Medal table.
But Jenkins said a decision on his future will not entirely be about the money.
“Money doesn’t buy happiness as well,” Jenkins told Channel 9 last night.
“I’m really happy, as my partner is, in Adelaide.
“There’s many things you’ve got to weigh up so we’ll see what happens.”
Port Adelaide premiership player said last week he was “staggered” by Brisbane’s offer to Jenkins, a view shared by North Melbourne great Wayne Carey.
But former Essendon star Matthew Lloyd rates Jenkins among the league’s top four forwards and said he was worth $700,000-$750,000 a year on the open market.

Hartigan or Otten has done it in the past.While I'm not as fanatically anti-Jenkins as others around here seem to be, I certainly don't rate him as untradeable. But my concern is who takes that forward / backup ruck role if EH gets injured or loses form? Fogarty isn't tall enough to take on the ruck role, I don't know where Paul Hunter is at, but from what I understand he's more of a ruckman rather than a forward. Where is Kieran Strachan at? Can he play forward, or is he another pure ruckman? And is he (or Hunter) anywhere near being able to play at AFL level? Jordan Butts is described as a defender on his profile - could he potentially play forward? Although he'd be giving away a few cm on Jenkins which would count against him when it comes to the ruck component of the role.
He would rather hit a patch.Having JJ stuck on the list is not the worst situation to be in. If we get an injury he’s a handy back up and if he hits a purple pitch he’s extra handy
I get it, he's contracted so you pay more!
Seriously though, a pick in the 20s for JJ and cap space is a good result
Most of them are aren't they?
We just restructure the forward line. How many quick small forwards do we have in the sanfl at the moment? Stengle, McAdam, and future midfielders like Jones and McHenry.While I'm not as fanatically anti-Jenkins as others around here seem to be, I certainly don't rate him as untradeable.
