As for Jenkins to the Saints.... I just can't see it. They just don't have the currency to land JJ and Keath.
Jenkins has negative value to us

A high money forward who's out of favour. And we can only select if we drop our one shining light youngster.

He's a cap soaking reserves player at present. We'd be delighted if another club took him on.

Off to the bulldogs. Saints want to move him on
And apparently Pies have put their hand in for Bruce as well?

So could Saints possibly get Bullies' #12 or Pies' #15/#16(?) for Bruce and Cats' #17/#35(?) for Stevens? Also Cats might get Freo's #6 or WCE's #17(?) for Kelly and any one of these could end up with us thru a trade for Keath.

So much to play out this year that might affect us.

Jenkins has made it clear that he wants to play at the top level and that he thinks he good enough to play at the top level for the duration of his contract. Does anyone think he'd be prepared to move and renegotiate his contract to keep playing seniors?
Its an interesting tactic. Not sure we would do it

'Hey Josh , if you stay here you will be playing in the ressies for the next 2 years of your contract , or you go wherever if the other side takes on your contract''

Pretty sure he's said he's not taking a pay cut. Signed his contract and expects the full amount.

Surely its obvious that if he wants to play regular AFL footy its going to be at another club. He needs to sell himself. If that means a pay cut, it's his decision. Dale Thomas took a pay cut at Carlton for example and publicly renegotiated his contract and played the rest of that season and another 2.

Perhaps for JJ, now is good time to test his market value?

Well, if the plan is a total 5 year rebuild and bottom out, then sure.
Phallacy ....by clubs buying time with excuses .....enough mechanisms to regenerate your list quickly, if your club is good enough

Of course they do ....trade Jack Stevens ($900K) , Bruce ($600K) and Carlisle ($500K) ...frees up a lot of coin ....they'll get a 2nd round pick to pay for Jenkins
 
Our midfield is terrible as it is - take both of the Crouch boys out, and we'd probably get 5 inside 50s per match.

Get rid of our s**t assistant coaches, give the guys a crack at it with some competent coaching, and let's see what they can do.
But of those 5 entries ...we might hit a target

I would assume Jenkins Contract has him only getting paid big $$$ ...if he's playing AFL, not SANFL
