[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

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.

 

[footy4ever]

Maybe the local Destination Club will

The other missing, missing, missing piece?

If they move Carlisle and Bruce on though? seems a bit of shuffling the chairs (all similar ages).

They’ve also got to get in a heavily contracted hill.

Jack Stevens and Josh Bruce’s pick will become available...

 

[MRB37]

Where to? I'm not seeing him at the crows, especially if we are into Francis and have signed Kelly.

Might be Port's 2020 missing piece

Not sure, was told previously we were after him. Don't know if he has a preference, just wants to be playing AFL football.

 

[Thetrader15]

@ 700K only to drop him to the reserves for no apparent reason.

Other than managing the cash flow and associated bonuses

Has Josh Bruce requested a trade?

Off to the bulldogs. Saints want to move him on

So pick 30 (dogs) for bruce and 15-18 for steven (cats) then to crows for keath and jj i hope

 

[StonesThrow]

Rowell will be a star. Not a flashy star but a star with class who performs every week.

Yes please.

 

[deeztreez]

Yup I think Stevens is worth more than that. Cats might have a spare late first or early second when Kelly leaves to offer for Stevens

 

[GrommoT]

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?

 

[SaltPeter]

Maybe he'll have to compromise to play regular seniors football? <shoulder shrug> just a thought

 

[MRB37]

It'll likely be we'd have to pay the difference to offload him.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

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

 

[WaynesWorld19]

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

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

 

[WaynesWorld19]

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

he would get paid the same whether he played AFL or SANFl

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

And get laughed out of the room?

Was it not obvious enough
